Fantastic New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Photos Reveal Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendolyn Christie

Briefly: What a way to kick off May 4th.

Vanity Fair‘s Annie Leibovitz has just debuted a series of exclusive photos of the cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Among the images are our first looks at Adam Driver‘s evil Kylo Ren, and Lupita Nyong’o’s motion-tracking gear for her character, Maz Kanata.

Chewie himself, Peter Mayhew has also taken to Twitter to reveal the identity of Game of Thrones‘ star Gwendolyn Christie’s character. She’ll be portraying Captian Phasma in the film. You know, that bad-ass chrome Stormtrooper we saw way back when.

You can take a look at the images below. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments below, and don’t forget to re-watch the phenomenal trailer from a few weeks back.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theatres on December 18th.
