Both Sides of the Force Featured on 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Empire Covers
The countdown to Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues, and with still four months left fans are eager for any bit of information they can get. The latest covers for Empire's big winter preview offers new looks at both the light and the dark sides of the Force.
One image features Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux, and Adam Driver as Kylo Ren. Alongside them are a full battalion of First Order stormtroopers ready to take over another star system. The second cover includes Daisey Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Oscar Isaac as pilot Poe Dameron, and droid BB-8, all standing heroically alongside the Millennium Falcon.
While the remnants of the Galactic Empire may have changed their name to the First Order, they don't appear to have changed much else. Hopefully the film will explain what else is different about them. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18th 2015.
