UPDATE! First Pictures from D23 2015!

D23

Disney’s D23 Expo is only hours away from starting, and already a few images from the event have found their way on the web. Read on to check them out.

 

 

 

Hello world! Say hello to Captain Phasma…in the flesh! It looks like D23 will be giving fans a more tangible look at one of the First Order’s top villains. No word if this was the actual costume used in filming but that’s a safe bet. Captain Phasma will be portrayed by Gwendoline Christie who spoke about her role last month at SDCC. While expressing her excitement there is a female stormtrooper she also said there is a lot going on with the character regardless of the tough, chrome exterior.      

 

Many fans eagerly await to see what Captain Phasma will be up to in the silver screen this December.      

 

To many fans disappointment, EW has already reported via JJ Abrams we will not be seeing a trailer or any new behind the scenes footage. While that may leave some fans a bit let down you can’t complain about an up close look at one of the chief antagonists in The Force Awakens.      

 

 

 

 

It looks like D23 is presenting a closer look at the new Stormtroopers and the First Order overall. Fans have still only been given glimpses into the new iteration of the Empire. Lucasfilm and co. appear to be pulling out the stops on First Order secrecy. Keep your eyes peeled for more First Order pictures. It would be nice to get some Resistance costumes in there as well, but we have a long weekend ahead of us. A lot to be excited about!

 

 

More exciting news expected to come this weekend as D23 kicks off today. The Live Action panel (including Star Wars) will start tomorrow at 11 am PST. Stay tuned…

 

 

 

UPDATE!

 

 

Finn and Rey costumes also displayed together with BB-8:

        I was young when the prequels came but did they really release the crawl before the movie??? Stupid question i know…

          I remember about a week or two before revenge of the sith released I had read the opening crawl. My 13 year old self couldn’t help it… But it did kind of ruin the effect once I was in the theater. So if they do release the crawl early this time around, I’ll be sure to avoid it like the plague personally.

            Right, love reading the crawl When i saw 1,2,3 but i was young like 11 when ROTS came out so i wasnt allow on the interwebs lol, Is a better experience when the is seen on a Giant IMAX screen

    Everyone is so impatient. I’m as excited as the next fan (ask my wife, or my staff). Though it is hard to wait for each nugget that gets released (or leaked), I have submitted to the process. I am not one who will whine or demand or complain if things don’t happen fast enough for me.

    I have it on very good authority that a certain Mr Drew Struzan will be in attendance. This may or may not be to do with Space Operas.

      And yet this Mickey is the reason why we are all here. I myself am grateful to the mouse for the incredible feelings and emotions from the past 3 years. OMG, has it been 3 years already? 🙂

    Hope Phasma and Kylo Ren feature in all 3 forthcoming trilogy movies. They’re both too badass not to.

    Intrigued to find out what will be revealed this weekend.

    All good.

    ATTENTION: The D23 Live Action Panel on Saturday August 15, 2015 does NOT start at 11:00a.m. PST. It begins at 10:30a.m. PST.
    That is all.

    “Many fans (DO NOT) eagerly await to see what Captain Phasma will be up to in the silver screen this December.” Is what the headline should have read. Once again, having a female portraying a Stormtrooper completely ruins the entire notion of the fearsome white armored soldiers we have always known.

      BullS*#t! Furthermore, from all the pics I’ve seen I can’t tell the costume is female-specific. I assume the character will be a speaking role, will they use her voice, or a male actor? Hers I would guess. The only issue I have is that it seems like a little bit of typecasting/rehash of Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones; chrome-clad badass warrior with issues, perhaps complex allegiances and motivations in the churning tides of war, especially if there are more than two warring factions in TFA as has been hinted at with “splinter groups”, remnants, pirates, knights, etc…
