The cast and crew of Star Wars: The Force Awakens took to Hall H at Comic-Con, with fans managing to snap some never-before-seen images from the film. They focus on Episode VII's villains: Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, who we'd previously seen, Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, glimpsed in the second trailer, and joining them, Domhnall Gleason as the newly-revealed General Hux. The character is flat-out "evil", says Gleason, and will be in command of the First Order's headquarters, named Starkiller Base (major Star Wars fans will recognise this as the original surname of Luke Skywalker in an early draft of Episode IV).
The second image sees Kylo Ren leading a group of Stormtroopers; when asked about his character's connection to the Dark Side, Driver wouldn't elaborate, but he did talk about the sense of morality within him. "We didn’t have a lot of conversations about bad or evil," he said. "It was more about the difference between being bad and being right, which is a huge difference." Christie explained that she was very excited to suit up as a female Stormtrooper: "I just found it exciting that underneath that armor is a woman, and I find that more relevant than ever." Thoughts?
