Who is Adam Driver’s villainous wielder of the crossguard-lightsaber? What is his relationship with Darth Vader … and is Kylo Ren his original name?
What was it like on Harrison Ford’s first day back on the clock as Han Solo, when he finally set foot back on the Millennium Falcon after three decades?
From whom (or what) does Daisy Ridley’s character Rey rescue the ball-droid BB-8 amid the desolate sands of Jakku?
Which cult-horror movie inspired one of the main characters, and what cuddly child’s toy led to the name of another?
What are the odds Abrams may come back for Episode IX?
For the answers, watch for this issue, which arrives on newsstands this Friday, August14th.
