Warning: Potential spoilers follow for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
Lucasfilm and director J.J. Abrams have managed to maintain a shroud of mystery around “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” — particularly the key villains, who have yet to even speak in the trailers. But with Force Friday now unleashing wave after wave of “Star Wars” merchandise upon a grateful planet, we now get to hear Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma speak for the first time.
On Twitter, David Popineau has posted brief videos of talking masks featuring lines delivered by actors Adam Driver and Gwendoline Christie. As io9.com notes, at this point we can only presume it’s dialogue from the film.
Captain Phasma’s lines aren’t particularly revealing: “Move, to your ships now”; “On my command”; “Fire FM 2187″; and “Submit your blaster for inspection.” However, Kylo Ren’s? Well, judge for yourself: “I feel it too”; “You know what I’ve come for”; “Together, we will destroy the Resistance and the last Jedi”; “Don’t fight it, you know you can’t”; “I’m immune to the light” ; and “Who will step in the way?”
IGN also found a talking Kylo Ren figure that adds more dialogue to the mix: “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time”; “Is it true? You’re just a scavenger?”; “Don’t be afraid”; and “That weapon is mine.”
Let the speculation commence (or, rather, re-commence). “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens Dec. 18.
