The book also includes some pictures of the weapons used by this gang. In the smaller picture, Leech is seen standing inside the Millennium Falcon. Another small image appears to show the character played by his fellow "The Raid" star Cecep Arif Rahman.
Director J.J. Abrams praised the performance of the two actors and stated that he was happy to collaborate with such kind of badass action movie actors. "I thought 'God, I wonder if the dudes from 'The Raid' would be available?' And to my amazement, and they were willing, and they were incredible. They showed up and did a terrific job," Abrams said.
"The Force Awakens" is set 30 years after the Battle of Ender at the end of "Return of the Jedi". It brings back Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher as Leia. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson and Andy Serkis are also in the lineup. The seventh episode of "Star Wars" movie series is scheduled for a U.S. release on December 18.
