#TheForceAwakens: Character Names Revealed via Trading Cards


With the teaser trailer still fresh in our collective minds, and beyond a myriad of memes, parodies and fanart since then, comes the REVEAL of some of the film characters' NAMES via "trading cards"? How awesome is that?

Entertainment Weekly has the exclusives, which features a series of images presented like a set of "vintage" trading cards (ala "Topps"), with the following numbers (of which director J.J. Abrams alluded to the numbers themselves being "significant"):


• #11 — BB-8 on the move

• #53 — Poe Dameron in his X-Wing

• #67 — Kylo Ren ignites his Lightsaber

• #74 — Rey on her Speeder

• #76 — Finn on the run

• #81 — Stormtroopers prepare for battle

• #88 — X-Wings in formation

• #96 — The Millennium Falcon

How highly anticipated a film can be, with only a 88-second teaser revealed thus far … fascinating … nevertheless, I imagine a flurry of google-searches with the names "BB-8", "Poe Dameron" (Oscar Isaac), "Kylo Ren" (???), "Rey" (Daisy Ridley) and "Finn" (John Boyega), for the foreseeable future, until the film premieres December 18th, 2015 … #MayTheForceAwakenYou :)
