UPDATE: Heroes & Villains Empire Covers For STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Revealed

"There has been an awakening" in the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens villains cover for Empire's October issue. Featuring our three new antagonists, 'Kylo Ren', 'Captain Phasma' & 'General Hux', the Dark Side has never seemed more frightening...

The Dark Side has never seemed more appealing in the first of Empire's exclusive fold-out covers for their October Winter Preview issue. This Star Wars: The Force Awakens 'villain cover' features the unholy trinity of Adam Driver's 'Kylo Ren', Gwendoline Christie's 'Captain Phasma' and Domhnall Gleeson's 'General Hux' - accompanied by the combat-ready forces of the sinister First Order.



UPDATE: It looks like Empire have brought balance to force and released their hero cover as well. This one predictably features the movie's three protagonists: Daisy Ridley's 'Rey', John Boyega's 'Finn' and Oscar Isaac's 'Poe Damaron' - but they look just as badass as their evil counterparts.


The issue goes on sale in the UK on Thursday, August 27, and Empire have also teased a sneak peek at what's inside the issue over the next few days. In the meantime, what do you think of our new villains? Can they live up to the likes of The Emperor and Darth Vader? Sound off with your thoughts in the comments below!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theatres December 19.

Another reason why sci-fi/fantasy allegories rock. It's not really appropriate to say that fascists look cool and sexy - unless its in a galaxy far, far away.

Kylo Ren and Rey are brothers, I'm calling it... The way that they are in the center in both covers and the secrecy of their last name an they kinda look alike.
