Character Names Revealed for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Lucasfilm has officially unveiled the names of the new main characters that were introduced to us in the trailer. They made the reveal in a pretty cool way as well... They came in the form of Topps trading cards, which debuted on Entertainment Weekly. The names of the characters include:
- The “ball droid” is BB-8
- Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron
