Entertainment Weekly has just posted some retro images of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens cast that finally reveals the names of some of the newcomers. The images are done up to resemble the trading cards that Topps created for the original 1977 Star Wars. Thanks to these images we now know the soccer ball droid is 'BB-8,' Oscar Isaac is 'Poe Dameron,' the crossguard lightsaber weilding villain is named 'Kylo Ren,' Daisy Ridley is simply 'Rey,' Stormtroopers are still Stormtroopers, and John Boyega is playing 'Finn.'
