Our first look at the First Order from Star Wars Force Awakens

First seen in a new Korean TV spot, never-before-seen footage from Star Wars The Force Awakens is the most exciting thing happening in the universe at this moment. To save fans the stress of scrutinizing the scene in the trailer, Lucasfilm followed up with a released this high resolution still. And now it is, appropriately, all anyone is talking about.

The new scene depicts a mystery person addressing the huge First Order army assembled on a snowy planet, and appears to be the reverse shot of this previous shot from the second trailer.

Lucasfilm’s Matt Martin fueled the intrigue on Twitter. As to be expected, the Star Wars Collectible community has made quite a few interesting observations so far, and even come up with an unofficial nickname for the new vehicles…

@missingwords We (peeps at the JC forums) are already coining the phrase Turtle Walkers.

Can you believe JJ Abrams hired 1000s of extras for this shot simply to make the prequels look bad? #PracticalEffects pic.twitter.com/E1BN29dioH

30 years later and the “First Order” seems to have a lot of members and I doubt they have as much fear and control as The Emperor did.
