"Star Wars fans have been waiting for more news about the upcoming Episode VII, and it seems like their prayers have been answered.
A report from Movie Pilot said that the concept art for the film has made its way around the internet, and it looks like the expected Villain is going to be the Inquisitor, and he looks like he's planning to turn Kira (Daisy Ridley) to the dark side.
"Star Wars" fans already have two theories about the identity of "The Inquisitor." First is that he is a person who just has a thing for relics from the first trilogy, as is shown by the photos of himself closely examining Darth Vader's helmet, and who may be a potential Sith himself.
But then, he is looking for Obi-Wan's lightsaber, which could mean that Luke has turned to the dark side and became a Sith himself, and has successfully turned Kira as well.
A new take on Han Solo's costume has also been leaked, and according to Making Star Wars, the new one is brown, but is longer than the previously leaked concept. According to the International Business Times, the costume is more similar to the Endor Trench Coat that Harrison Ford sported in the previous films.
Besides Han Solo's costume change, another significantly different look came to the Stormtroopers, with the new one in chrome and with a cloak and armor to match. Movie Pilot suggests that from the curve of the Stormtrooper uniform, the new version could very well be female, possibly Lupita Nyong'o, but it could easily indicate a higher rank than the regular Stormtroopers we knew from previous films.
Finally, a part of Chewbacca has changed, and the loveable bear-like creature is sporting a bionic hand. "Star Wars" never shy away from taking off character limbs, but Chewy's loss may be a significant plot point in the film.
"Star Wars Episode 7" seems to be well underway, and there are so many questions that need answers. Is Luke going to be the villain this time? Why is there a Chrome Stormtrooper, and who is it? Is it even male, or could it be female? Will Chewbacca really lose his arm, and what happened?
"Episode 7" is set to be released on December 2015. Are you excited to see the next installment of the franchise?
