UPDATE! EXCLUSIVE: First Look at Three Characters from The Force Awakens!

The Force AwakensFor some time now we’ve been closely following the development around Greg Grunberg and his role in The Force Awakens. Now we can finally confirm who he is playing in the movie. Also we have an exclusive first look at two familiar characters, returning for Episode VII.

 

The following photos could be considered SPOILERIFIC, so beware!

 

 

First of all here is everything we know about Greg Grunberg’s character from The Force Awakens, that we’ve been closely following for some time now.

  • He has signed for three movies.
  • He shot for 7 weeks in London at Pinewood.
  • He is not a CG character.
  • He has facial hair.
  • He has no prosthetics.
  • He never read the whole script. It was on red paper.
  • There will be an action figure with his character.
  • The actors had to wear cloaks while walking towards the set.

 

All the bullet points from above are coming from Greg Grunberg himself, so they are 100% legit.

 

We’ve also learnt that his character spends significant time on the Millennium Falcon. Now there appears to be a confusion. GG was talking about a cockpit in general and not the MF cockpit. So he definitely meant an X-Wing cockpit. Sorry for the confusion, but the info was really confusing. Also he left a small hint for TFA – the initials S.W.

 

 

And now here’s the confirmation of which character he is playing:

 

Greg Grunberg

That’s right, he is playing an X-Wing pilot. Considering that he has signed for three movies, we can definitely call his character – the Wedge Antilles of the Sequel Trilogy.

 

Also here’s an exclusive look at two familiar faces 🙂

 

Nien Nunb

Admiral Ackbar

That’s right, Nien Nunb and Admiral Ackbar are back! This is a real photo session so these are real practical creatures.

 

If you remember back in March one of our sources shared with us that Ackbar will return and that there is a character called NN. Also he told us about an X-Wing pilot named Gorwyn (HERE). Even our source was using that same name in our forum to prove he is right. After he did, we changed it. 😉

 

UPDATE!

 

The guys from MakingStarWars.net also posted today 2 images, that they have described in the past. Go to their site to check them out.

      Yeah, but this time – it is the Dark Side that is trapped!

      I can just imagine, the forces of Evil are gathered around our heroes, Han and Chewie are about to admit defeat, and then BAM!
      a great big battle-ship swoops in,

      And then Ackbar hacks the enemy transmitters and the baddies are all like “WHAT?!”

      and then Ackbar responds: “It’s a trap!”

        I think they will keep the one-liner throwbacks to a minimum…But I think “May the Force be with you” is a guarantee (it being a typical greeting in the GFFA) and “I have a bad feeling about this.” is also likely. If I had to pick one more I’d like to hear it would definitely be “It’s a trap!” – and if Han and Leia’s relationship is on the rocks in this film an “I hate you…I know.” might be called for. 😉

        • June 19, 2015 at 6:37 pm
          Permalink

          I am convinced there is an actual clause in the contract requiring the line “I’ve got a bad feeling about this…” to be uttered by a central protagonist at least once per film. It never really sounded natural coming from Obiwan in ROTS though,
          I don’t think the line is appropriate for Jedis.

          Funny thing is that Ackbar saying it is actually a callback in a way. Leia yells it when Luke arrives at cloud city. Search your DVDs, you know it to be true.

      That is also confusing about why Ackbar would ever say anything: WHERE ARE THE CALMARI EARS? … OHHH “EYE SEE!” It was like trying to find Waldo, Star Wars style, but I think it is quite fishy trying to talk to fish when … they can SEA WHAT YOU ARE SAYING! 😉

    I wonder if Greg’s character will be an X-Wing pilot from the beginning or if he will join in at the end like Luke in ANH and starts as more of a Han Solo like smuggler/pirate character.

    I would love if he was the son of Porkins, who was orphaned after ANH and maybe resented the Rebellion, but he gets caught up in the events of this film and accepts that his father died a hero for a good cause and joins in. But I doubt they would go that far.

    Wooow! That’s awesome dude. Greg’s character is really going to be the new Wedge for sure.. Come on, all three movies? For me, only one character could pilot a x-wing in extremely dangerous battles and survive this long. For this trilogy they choosed Greg Grunberg to be this guy. Now, how cool it is to have Nien Nunb back? What a fun character! Many years ago, when my dad gave me my first action figure, it was a Nien Nunb from Kenner’s 1998 collection.. Really nice! And hey, Admiral Ackbar? He is the coolest guy in the galaxy!! But not looking so old though. Anyways this movie is going to be epic! Can’t wait. Only 6 more months to go!

      Settle down Beavis, Wedge is a background throwaway character with hardly five minutes of combined screen time in the OT.

      I’m far more concerned with fans giving a shit about such a one note entity barely present in the film, than I do about Grunberg filling a similar role.

      Nice to see some familiar aliens making a comeback but otherwise, who cares?

      Grunberg is exactly the kind of guy that would milk a tiny role like this for as much exposure as possible, I’m sure he’s well pleased about the free publicity.

      That said, hopefully this will motivate more sites to stop sitting on leaked photos they have and whatnot and post their material.

          Truly epic heroism right there.

          I guess he also got to hit the power regulator on the north tower, cuz how else was the second Death Star gonna blow up if he didn’t carefully shoot that tiny little part?

      “a man that size.” Are you kidding? GG looks way slimmer here than he has in previous roles. Besides, it’s more believable to have a new character who is slightly overweight than a returning character have an unrealistic shift in weight. I’m glad to see GG in pilot gear and not be delegated to a “funny fat guy” role.

    K… Ackbar I can understand, but why is Nien Nunb back?

    Anyways, Grunberg looks the part of an X-Wing pilot. I bet there is a backstory for him, but I doubt we will see any of it in TFA.

    Remember, there is already Rey and Finn that the film has to introduce to us. But maybe in Marvel comics…? That could be cool.

      I’d love to see Wedge (but ONLY if he’s played by Dennis Lawson). I think there’s actually a distinct kind of magic that happens when the type of actor who doesn’t take fantasy seriously (like Lawson, Ford, or Guinness) is placed in an earnest fantasy film. Something new comes out of the two unlike elements and it’s worth getting beyond our hurt feelings as Star Wars fans to make this happen.

    This is cool but I feel like Nien Nunb looks somewhat less convincing here than he did in ROTJ. Here it looks like the shadows in his face are created by pigment instead of light. In that sense it’s less like a real human or animal face and more like a fantasy figurine.

    Every time I see someone trashing someone as a “SJW”, I subconsciously mistake that for my initials, to make matters worse, I’m pretty much a SJW as it is, but that doesn’t justify turning my name into an insult.. 🙁

    Anyone else got an insult name-hogging their initials?

    Nien Nunb is the unsung hero of the OT. Co-pilot of the ship that destroyed the Death Star. For all the galaxy knows, the explosion is what killed Sidious and Palpatine, so there should be a lot of schools named after him.

    Hey VIRAL HIDE, great Scoop!
    Do you have any info or opinion on whether or not the Luke Skywalker pic that theforce.net posted is legit or not legit? Thanks! http://www.theforce.net/story/front/First_Look_At_Luke_Skywalker_From_Star_Wars_The_Force_Awakens_164671.asp

    Are the MSW pics legit?
    http://makingstarwars.net/2015/06/first-look-pics-of-domhnall-gleesons-the-general-and-han-solo-piloting-the-falcon/

    Also, is there a reason why starwars7news, MSW, and theforce.net all posted new images around the same time? Is it just a coincidence? Just curious. Thanks!

      The Luke pic is 100% fake. It’s a photoshopped version of Luke’s photo in front Pinewood.
      MSW’s images are legit. They were described by them before.

      Looks like they’ll add CGI where they feel it’s necessary. “Restraint” and “responsible” come to mind.

    Since Ackbar was already a mature fish during the Clone Wars (±22 BBY), does it mean that Mon Calamari have longer lifespans than Humans, or should we expect a twice veteran Admiral Ackbar to be in repulsorchair in EpVII (±35 ABY, ±56 years later)?

    I am relieved to see Glesson character is not Luke in flashback which MSW has insisted so long.
    He is very promising actor and expect further arch whether he is offspring of Luke or relative of Tarkin.

    @ pictures from makimgstarwars.com
    Star Wars looks like every other movie.
    Teal and Orange. They did it! Nothing
    can stand above the human ego.
    Didnt want JJA it to be like the classics?
    Why does it look like a every other modern
    Film?
    Are you sick? Not even Star Wars can
    go its own way. All is lost!
    Its just a movie guess…..

      Hopefully it’s not actually infected with Teal and Orange disease. Most of the previews scenes, despite having dark and/or blueish parts, were not. Can’t really judge photos taken offscreen with a phone, though. That’ll make any film look that way.

      It’s possibly a 3D projection of Finn’s face since that scene, apparently, is when the general orders Phasma to find him.

    I thought it was random that GG would grow facial hair for no reason went he’s never done it for a role before. Now I know why. He’s signed for three films so he must have impressed them. I know that he’s a friend of JJ’s since childhood but you still have to do the work to stay there.

    Looks like the Alliance doesn’t have to high of a standard when it comes to the physical fitness of it’s military personel. It’s good though that they let Jek Porkin’s kid fly a starfighter and all.

    Ackbar was in the latest Battlefront gameplay video. I can only assume that they used the same voice actor for TFA. The original voice of Ackbar is over 90 I believe.

    Did everyone see the new pics of Han Solo piloting the Falcon, with Rey and Finn? Where’s Chewie? They all look so glum. There’s another photo of Gleeson’s Imperial Officer probably giving orders to Phasma. He looks like a young Tarkin. Check it out at MakingStarWars.net.
