Details and Images Emerge of Adam Driver and Lupita Nyong'o in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'


Wait, didn't we just have Star Wars Celebration a few days ago? The party has only just begin as today is officially Star Wars Day, yes if you see a bunch of "May the 4th be with You" graphics on the Facebook timeline this is the reason why. And naturally Lucasfilm is taking this chance to pull the curtain back on JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens with first looks at Lupita Nyong'o and Adam Driver in the film.

Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca graced the cover of Vanity Fair, but the real gems are on the inside. It's there that we see Driver as the Sith-lord Kylo Ren, and Nyong'o as the pirate Maz Kanata, who will be animated completely by performance-capture. Let's just hope she's not a Hutt. Still nothing on Domhnall Gleeson, though.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18th. Check out the photos plus a behind-the-scenes featurette below.
