If you watched the recently released teaser trailer for J.J. Abrams' 2015 Disney and Lucasfilm blockbuster, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you've probably been wondering who the dark figure igniting that interesting lightsaber is. Today, we received an answer in the form of trading card-styled images! Get ready to fear Kylo Ren in the upcoming franchise film! Along with this Sith's name, we found out who John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac is playing. Plus, that "ball robot" is called BB-8! (SPOILERS to follow)
Released to Entertainment Weekly and definitely bringing fans a strong case of nostalgia, these new images are such a cool way to announce characters. Plus they're numbered, and as Slash Film points out, there are gaps between these numbers that should definitely spark plenty of interest in all of us. In other words, we can expect plenty more of these trading cards as the release date approaches.
Plus, Abrams said that the numbering was pretty significant.
"I'm only sorry we couldn't give everyone a stick of gum," the director told EW. Check out the character names and the trading card images right here:
#53 - Poe Dameron in his X-Wing (Isaac)
#67 - Kylo Ren ignites his Lightsaber (Adam Driver?)
#74 - Rey on her Speeder (Ridley)
#76 - Finn on the run (Finn)
#81 - Stormtroopers prepare for battle
Besides the returning cast members, we still don't know whom Andy Serkis (?), Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow and many others are playing in the new movie.
So are you ready to remember these names for the rest of your lives as we've done with previous Star Wars characters? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
