The Dark Side of Star Wars: The Force Awakens Revealed at Comic-Con

After teasing the Dark Side of the Force with special custom hashtags for #KyloRen and Captain #Phasma throughout the day, Lucasfilm revealed more about these characters, and another with a new announcement about Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

When Gwendoline Christie “Captain Phasma,” Adam Driver “Kylo Ren,” and Domhnall Gleeson took the stage, the image you see above was flashed on the screen, revealing Gleeson’s character name: General Hux.

Of course none of the actors could say too much about their characters. When asked about his connection to the dark side, Driver gave a simple “no” about whether he could say even a little. He did, however, say “the difference between being bad and being right,” is what he plays up. “Thinking they’re right is something different. It’s almost a more evil group of people who have decided that they’re morally justified in behaving a certain way, and that’s the approach we took to it.”

Gleeson jokingly disagreed, saying, “I am evil!” He revealed that General Hux is in charge of the primary First Order base, called “Starkiller base.” Starkiller means a lot to Star Wars fans, as that was Luke’s original last name in the first draft of the first film, and eventually became the name of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice in the old (and largely abandoned) Expanded Universe.
