Meet our new Sith, his name is Kyle.

That's Darth Insanius to you, Mr. Watilla.

 

[BigFwoosh]

Cool names.

Except for Poe Dameron. He better have a nickname.

Popozao probably.

Finn Ventress
Finn Tano

[GentlemanCrow]

BB-8

Doesn't roll of the tongue, does it?

Maybe it's pronounced "Bee-Bate"?

Threepio

Artoo

Beebee

Fits with the nicknames...as in there are no rules...

Popozao probably.

Pepperoni Poe

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Anyone wanna try matching up the original run of Star Wars cards and their numbers to these images?

Also, what if "Rey" is to her character like "Ben" was "Obi-Wan"

 

[bigmase21]

Cool names.

Except for Poe Dameron. He better have a nickname.

PD... say it fast enough it sounds like Petey

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Good ol' Damy.

 

[jackal27]

Finn?

LOL.

And the sith's name doesn't sound very evil. Lucas knew how to make evil sounding names that way the audience would never be confused about who's supposed to be the bad guy.

I was confused about who the bad guy was throughout the entirety of the prequels.

 

[xam3l]

I read Dameron as Doraemon. Dafuq?

 

[Saint Gregory]

Finn is clearly Han and Leia's Son while Rey is Luke and Leia's daughter.

Star Incest?

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Finn?

LOL.

Maybe it's his real name before he becomes a Darth "x".

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

Star Incest?

The rumoured flashback will surprise a lot of people.

 

[Twilight Gap]

BD-8 roles off the tongue better IMO

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Well it confirms that the "sith" is male

 

[The Elite]

Finn Balor

I think I joked about how it sounded like a Game of Thrones name when he first used it. I guess Star Wars would have worked as well.

Yeah, I assume Finn has a last name we know. Almost seems strange if Rey is going to be the daughter of Han and Leia like is generally assumed. I don't want to have everyone's kids running around.

 

[mgarnica89]

Finn Windu. Dont think its that but it sounds nice together.

 

[raviolico]

Oscar Isaac as Arschdämmerung

The Shit Awakens

 

[Future PhaZe]

this movie

abrams plssss

 

[Deleted member 231381]

So I'm guessing the significance of the numbers JJ mentions is that each represents the number of minutes into the film you'll see each image.

Goddammit JJ.

I totally said that before you. *shakes fist*

Monumental.

 

[Easy_D]

lol Kylo Ren

Spoiler

sounds cool

I wonder if it's Kyle-o or like "kilo" with an y instead of an i, I hope it's the latter. But Kyle-o would be kinda hilarious.

 

[Cheat Code]

They're no Savage Oppress but they'll do.

 

[FriendlyGoat]

Also this likely confirms that Adam Driver is NOT Han and Leia's son since by all indications that is him with the saber in the woods. Seeing how his last name is not Solo.

Also Rey/Daisy Ridley is not his brother I would assume, because "Rey Ren" would just sound too weird.

Rey Ren would sound kind of weird. Another possibility could be Rey Dameron, and Poe could be her older brother off to war or something, though that doesn't sound all that badass. I'd like to imagine they'd give her something more iconic and throwback sci-fi sounding like Skywalker, Darklighter, Starkiller, (space adjective + noun) etc.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I sure hope none of them is named Skywalker. I don't want these movies to yet again be about a Skywalker family member.

Um isnt that what the entire saga is about. Its about the Skywalkers.

And don't worry they will be named Solo.

If he animated it, that would be god tier

 

[Robot Pants]

Man these names are bad

 

[Metalmarc]

Yes ..I'm okay with all of these.

Finn Calrissian? Finn Windu?

 

[Vespene]

Why hide Finn's name?

Finn... Calrissian. OOOOOOOOuuuuuuu!

 

[Buddha Beam]

BB-8 is the new R2D2 isn't it?

Better not be. Star Wars is supposed to really be the story of R2D2 and C-3PO, damnit.

 

[Lord Panda]

Sigh.

 

[Kathian]

Rey, Poe, and Finn. Am okay with that

 

[Vespene]

I think Finn is meant to be the new Han Solo of the films, while Rey will be the Luke analog.

I also think Poe not have such a big role. Maybe he's just a Wedge Antilles type of guy.

 

[Metalmarc]

Dammit Disney now i want need these trading cards for real

 

[Snake]

A shame. I like all the names except John Boyega's and Daisey Ridley's. And they're the characters I've been the most interested in by far.

edit: To be clear, I don't think it's a big deal, it just feels like every show I watch has a "Finn."

 

[Eidan]

Finn Gnickee

 

[Days like these...]

Man these names are bad

With each little turd nugget of info (hilt lightsaber, soccer droid, stupid character names) my anti hype grows exponentially. Hopefully someone will leak that the story completely revolves around midichlorians just to finish killing off any interest I had in this movie.

 

[CountAntonius]

I like them. Nothing that makes me roll my eyes.

 

[OricWindstar]

Thank fucking god the sith doesn't haven't a shitty Darth name...yet.

Poe is a bit funky, but I actually like that it's so weird. Digging the names.

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

Interesting. No Darth moniker (as far as we know) for Kyle - err, Kylo. Kie-low? Kee-low? It's at least nothing daft like Darth Icky or Insanius, but the name doesn't exactly invoke evil. Perhaps it's for the best. Perhaps there will be some effort here to portray this guy as someone greyer and more complex than your Darth Mauls and Count Dookus. And it gives us more room to speculate: is this guy actually a Sith or simply a Dark Jedi? Or has he just not yet earned the title yet?

 

[bengraven]

I like them.

 

[Salz01]

This is a joke right? I guess whatever names they gave would probably not sound right. Rey, would be best. Poe worst. Finn and Kylo are ehhhhhh

 

[Snake]

Also, "Kylo Ren" sounds like someone watched all the Star Wars media they could find, and then simply changed a letter of the main antagonist of the Droids cartoon, Kybo Ren.

 

[Dmax3901]

Finn Calrissian

Rolls nicely off the tongue.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

C'mon, why would Lando's son be a Stormtrooper?

 

[Jaeger]

Kylo Ren. A Force user who has yet to get a Darth name. Very cool.

 

[Akahige]

BB 8 really rolls off the tongue.

So all those leaker names were wrong.
