‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Official Teaser No. 2

New ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Facts: Fresh Characters, Old Vehicles, and Revised Factions (SlashFilm)

The new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is only part of the treasure trove of new information we have on the film. The Star Wars Celebration event has a big Force Awakens costume and concept art gallery, with some really tasty details. Among them are vague teasers about the new factions in the film. The six existing Star Wars movies (and many related stories) have charted the fall of the Galactic Republic, the rise of the Empire that followed, and the Rebellion that fought the Empire to a standstill in Return of the Jedi.

But those two factions have evolved into The First Order and The Resistance. In addition to that info, we have some other character details thanks to official art and costumes, and a few other tidbits that dropped during Celebration panels. We’ll hand over all these Force Awakens facts below.

First up, let’s talk about the two main factions as we know them: The First Order, and The Resistance. Some of the players in this part of the game you’ll know by their familiar designs, but there are some tweaks that suggest other differences.
