5 Trading Cards Revealing the New Star Wars Film Characters

More and more information is leaking out about the new Star Wars film (Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens), with trading cars revealing names of the characters from the trailers causing all the stir this time.

When the original SW film came out in 1977, Topps released a series of cards featuring scenes and characters from the film (IV: A New Hope) and it seems J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy, the president of LucasFilm are taking the retro approach to their latest tease about the new characters.

Kylo Ren is probably going to be Adam Driver’s character, and his Lightsaber has been the most talked about thing on the Internet for the last couple of weeks.

This lovely lady on a speeder will be portrayed by Daisy Ridley, who had a few scenes in the ‘Inbetweeners 2′ film that were cut from the theatrical release.

Seems like the R2-D2 of the next film.

This banged up X-Wing pilot will be portrayed by the fantastic Oscar Isaac.

Portrayed by John Boyega, all we know about Finn is that he’s in a stormtrooper uniform and he seems to be in quite a hurry.
