AceShowbiz - While "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will not hit theaters until December 18, new photos have made their way online. The photos reveal three characters who will appear in the upcoming movie and two of them are classic characters.
The first photo shows a full-body shot of an X-Wing pilot played by Greg Grunberg. He wears pilot costume while holding a helmet in his hand. According to Star Wars Episode 7 News which obtained the pictures, Grunberg has signed on for three movies. However, the website doesn't specify what the other two movies are.
The second image shows a familiar face, Nien Nunb, who served as Lando Calrissian's co-pilot in the Millennium Falcon. He looks much the same as his last appearance in the original trilogy. He sports the same black vest over a red jumpsuit and doesn't seem to have aged.
Another familiar face shown in the third photo is Admiral Ackbar. Unlike Nunb, he sports wrinkles as the indication that he has aged. The source claims that the two watermarked images of Nunb and Ackbar are take from real photo session. It means that the two are real practical creatures and the photos are not made of CGI.
Two other pictures from the movie scenes have also surfaced, showing Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and the never-before-seen The General (Domhnall Gleeson). The first photo shows Solo piloting the Millenium Falcon with Rey and Finn. In the photo, Rey sits in the spot that used to belong to Chewbacca in the original trilogy. The second photo captures The General on the bridge as he's sending Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) after Finn.
