Empire's
Force Awakens issue (#319) features 6 character covers, as well as, interviews with JJ Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill.
First up is Daisy Ridley as Rey, flanked by new globular droid BB-8 – already the breakaway star of the film.
Next up: Game Of Thrones' Gwendoline Christie swaps Westeros for the First Order as
Captain Phasma.
Stormtrooper-turned-rebel
Finn, played by John Boyega, appears here wielding his blue lightsaber. Boyega described his first lightsaber experience to us thusly: “I held it in my hand and I just felt, you know, the clouds open up and the white doves come flying down”. So, no biggie.
This is Oscar Isaac as
Poe Dameron, a character Isaac modestly describes as "the best damn pilot in the galaxy". Expect X-wing dogfights aplenty.
The First Order rises: here's Adam Driver as principal antagonist
Kylo Ren. Driver tells us that he “never thought of the character as an evil person”.
Finally: Harrison Ford as
Han Solo, accompanied as always by his faithful sidekick
Chewbacca, played by Peter Mayhew.
