Awesome New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pictures!

We are a mere four months away from revisiting our old friends Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo for the first time in almost thrity years when Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theatres this December. Director J. J. Abrams, Lucasfilm and Disney have so far handled the marketing of the first instalment in the long awaited Star Wars sequel trilogy expertly, releasing very little information and footage while maintaining as much of the mystery and intrigue as possible with the slow release of new pictures, that have been feeding our speculation and our imaginations. This is probably the first Star Wars movie in which the title tells us nothing as to what to expect; The Force Awakens - was it asleep up until now, why is it awakening now, what has caused it to awaken?

EW have, as expected, grabbed a few exclusive, never seen before stills from the movie, which along with some exclusive information and interviews, will most likely be drip released over the next few days, as is EW's Modus Operandi with such news. Heres 12 newly released images, each with a speculate question beneath...

Could Kylo Ren be a Dark Jedi, rather than a Sith?

Could Kylo-Ren be Rey's twin brother?

Will Captain Phasma remove her helmet?

Why did the Empire change its name to the First Order?

Why did Finn sign up to join the First Order?

Is Rey the daughter of Han and Leia, or Luke and an unknown mother?

Is Finn related to Lando Calrissian or Mace Windu?

Who exactly is Poe Dameron?

Did Chewbacca ever tell Luke he had already met Yoda during the Clone Wars?

Is Jakku a real planet, or just a codename for Tattooine?

With floors so shiny, has a Stormtrooper ever slipped and fallen arse-first?
