It’s shaping up to be a surprisingly busy morning for Star Wars: Episode IX leaks. First, we saw the emergence of a promo poster that was packed with old, new and mostly helmeted faces. And since then, we’ve received an assortment of character designs that tease the latest getups for some of the film’s key players.
Starting on the far left, we have our old friend Lando Calrissian, who seems to be wearing the same yellow shirt and cape combination that Donald Glover sported in last year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. At the moment, details on Billy Dee Williams’ role are in short supply, but here’s hoping he at least gets a reunion with his Original Trilogy co-star Chewbacca. Pictured below, the Wookiee is looking pretty much the same as he always does, but then what would you expect for a character who doesn’t even wear clothes?
Rey, on the other hand, is sporting a brand new outfit that has her looking very Jedi-like. It even appears that she’s found a way to fix the Skywalker lightsaber after it broke in The Last Jedi. To the right of her, you’ll find Poe Dameron, who seems to be wearing the same getup that he wore in the set photo shared by J.J. Abrams last month. And the last of the familiar characters pictured is Finn, who’s striking a bit of a James Bond pose with his blaster.
As for those last two, well, we’ve yet to be properly introduced, but we’ll see how they fit into the Sequel Trilogy finale when Star Wars: Episode IX hits theaters on December 20th, 2019. In the meantime, we can hopefully expect further material from the movie to surface as next month’s Star Wars Celebration looms closer.
