J.J. Abrams has unveiled the latest trick up his Jedi-reviving sleeve: He's revealing the names of the new characters populating Star Wars: The Force Awakens via old-fashioned trading cards—which will make for quite the holiday gift for fans, especially those whose collection was founded on the original Star Wars Topps trading cards that were all the rage back in 1977.

I can’t WAIT...another STAR WARS!!
Thirty years in the “future”, we pick up the pieces of a dysfunctional family drama that just happens to also involve a galactic civil war and androids. Just in time for Christmas 2015!
‘Ballchinio’? A face only a mother could love.
JJ is a HACK.
I’m looking forward to my next root canal more than this flick.
Fool me once or maybe twice but three times?
Forget it.
You have a talent for understatement. 8^)
Not to be confused with a Ballchinian...I think.
“Oh, the pain! The pain!!!”
—Dr. Smith
And his name is Finn!
“Finn on the run” is his card, No. 76. The rest are as follows:
No. 11: BB-8 on the move. (A promisingly adorable baby droid.)
No. 53: Poe Dameron in his X-Wing. (Oscar Isaac takes flight!)
No. 67: Kylo Ren ignites his Lightsaber. (The still mysterious hooded figure from the trailer.)
No. 74: Rey on her Speeder. (Daisy Ridley goes for a ride.)
No. 81: Stormtroopers prepare for battle. (You’ve seen what that looks like before.)
No. 88: X-Wings in formation. (Cool.)
No. 96: The Millennium Falcon. (Cooler.)
From the site.
BB-8 looked pretty funny. A ‘droid that uses an ordinary kick-ball for locomotion! I’ll bet it’s a Rebel spy ‘droid! :-D
Ballchinio was the king of the Ballchinians with the biggest, bounciest chin-balls of them all.
Ballinchaino?
Even Crown Prince Peterpuffer enjoyed greater fame, probably due to his grouper-like lips.
Sorry Ben, didn’t mean to de-rail your Star Wars thread with Ballchinia history. In any event,
I believe Imperial Stormtroopers castrated them all with light sabers during the Great Galactic Nutting.
Who earns his wings when he convinces the Dark Lord that no Sith master is a failure who has friends.
If y’all want a good laugh, check out RedLetterMedia’s take on the new trailer.
Those are the guys who did the long, 9-part review of The Phantom Menace.

Kylo Ren is most likely a sith Inquisitor. Think torquemada with force abilities. Just google “sith inquisitor” and you’ll get images from Star Wars: rebels animated series that “sets up” the figure of sith inquisitors.
