Daisy Ridley is Rey
John Boyega is Finn
Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron
The lightsaber wielder is Kylo Ren
The ball droid is BB-8

Thoughts on the names? I like them. Very down to Earth.

 

[Kaeb]

Don't like Rey, others are meh.

Kira would have been sixty times better, far more natural.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

I'm happy the bad guy isn't Darth Whatever.

 

[Clayton]

The name's Ren, Kylo Ren.

 

[TheSilentWind]

I like the names, except the one for the droid. It doesn't really seem like an ideal name for a droid but I guess that is just my opinion.

 

[Dark Shadows]

I love the name for the lightsaber guy, sounds very futuritic but at the same time doesn't sound ridiculous.

 

[Kaeb]

I'm happy the bad guy isn't Darth Whatever.

****ing agreed.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

****ing agreed.

Episode VIII: The Rise of Darth Angry

 

[Cap'n Hobbes]

I'm happy the bad guy isn't Darth Whatever.

I'm sure there's a Darth Facepalm reference in there somewhere but I can't think of one right now...

 

[Phil]

So who is Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill playing?

So who is Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill playing?

Jar Jar and Wicket, respectively.

 

[Cap'n Hobbes]

Darth Facepalm makes his mark once again!

 

[Bee]

Did someone say Finn?

 

[Phil]

I'm happy the bad guy isn't Darth Whatever.

What would be really cool? If he's not a villain.

 

[Clayton]

Did someone say Finn?

 

[jpchewy01]

I think I'm going to need to see how the names work in the context of the movie because I'm notoriously bad with judging character names.

 

[Liam]

Jar Jar and Wicket, respectively.

Damn, I was really hoping to see Ford in the slave Leia outfit :/

 

[Murdock]

I like the name Poe Dameron. Wish I had thought of it first...

 

[Wit]

I read the name Dameron and this pops into my head:

 

[Blaxican]

Don't like Rey, others are meh.

Kira would have been sixty times better, far more natural.

Too weebo.

I agree Rey is pretty meh, though.

Should have just gone all the way and named her Rhea. :oooooooh:
