The force is strong with this one. To celebrate the launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Ronda Rousey attended the cinema with friends dressed as a Storm Trooper.

The highly anticipated sequel, directed by J.J. Abrams, launched at midnight on Thursday and has smashed the box office record with a whopping $57 million. The Force Awakens marked the first film of a brand new trilogy and is the first Star Wars film to hit theatres in over a decade.

Rousey lost her bantamweight title in a shocking upset loss to Holly Holm last month at UFC 193. Since the devastating head kick KO, "Rowdy" has shied away from the press and kept a low profile on social media. However, the 28-year-old seemed to be in high spirits for the Star Wars launch.

It's expected that Rousey will face Holly Holm in an immediate rematch in summer, 2016.
