The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer was the perfect taste of what to expect from JJ Abrams next year, but it left out a lot (in the classic JJ way), such as who the characters we were introduced to were. Well, that has been rectified slightly, with Disney, Lucasfilm, and Entertainment Weekly teaming up to formally introduce us to these new heroes and villain of a galaxy far, far away in the coolest way possible: in the form of old school Topps trading cards. So we have Daisy Ridley as Rey atop her giant ice pop shaped speeder, David Boyega clad in Storm Trooper armour as Finn, Sith lord Kylo Ren (still no word on who is playing him) brandishing the medieval style lightsaber that has divided Star Wars fandom, Oscar Isacc as X-Wing pilot Poe Dameron, and, last but not least, roly poly droid BB-8. It's The surnames of Ridley and Boyega's characters names be held back could mean nothing, but it could also be that they come from some very famous lineage. I could be reading too much into this, but with Abrams involved, you never know.
