It's no different than Han and Lando becoming Generals within days of being in the Alliance, I guess?

It just looks like an ill-fitting suit, is all. But I'm sure it'll look fine in the movie!

He was the joker, but for me Gwendoline Christie stood out (among the dark side) as the Star Wars fan living the dream. I remember the interviews of John Boyega, Daisy Ridley & Oscar Isaac at Celebration and they all seemed to in awe of being in a SW movie. I didn't get the same feeling listening to Adam Driver & Domhnall Gleeson.

I don't care if they are huge SW fans, or not. As long as they make a great movie, it was just something that stood out to me.

You could see she was transfixed whenever any of the Legacy Trio were talking.

Trust me, Oscar is a huge fan! I was at that panel and you could tell he was definitely the only "original" fan on the stage.

...outside of Abrams, of course!

From what I've read, Adam Driver isn't one for the spotlight, so that could be the reason why he was so dry.

But, you know, Harrison is known for being the same. Having said that, he absolutely killed it during the introductions at the concert!

You have to wonder how much (if ever) she got to work with them on set. I guess we'll see in December :D

This photo was just posted on Twitter by My Saga. No word on the source or veracity, but it looks like a fairly legit reverse view of the First Order parade we saw in the second trailer.

Nice one Harvey! How the heck did you find that?!

Interesting that it uses all-recycled footage except that one shot.
