Is Drew Struzan the person who drew (arf) the old poster?

I've just watched a trailer. I'm not sure if I'll go now. Judging from the brief glimpses of the new protagonists, the acting will consist of the same expressionless gurning and gawping that seems to be all the current crop of non-actors are capable of. Not that I expected anything better, but it's still disappointing.

As a more minor concern, when will they understand that the old Star Wars was watchable partly because the action sequences weren't as ridiculously overwrought as they can now make them with rubbish-looking computer graphics? I thought they were going to go back to model-making? Maybe they have, but the trailer certainly doesn't look like it.
