Empire Reveals Star Wars: The Force Awakens Covers

.

If you run a magazine, you were trying to get one cover story this Fall: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. When your magazine happens to be called the same as the evil organization from the franchise, you really had to get it.

Well, Empire has revealed their six covers themed to the film, and they offer some of the most detailed, closest looks at the heroes and villains of the movie yet.

Check out the covers below for new looks at Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Finn, Rey, and Captain Phasma. The covers give great profiles of the characters, and in their print format use lenticular technology to appear 3D. They hit stores on November 26, 2015, and they’re practically daring you to collect them all.

The covers aren’t really revealing anything new, aside from showing Phasma in a new environment for the first time – the character, played by Gwendoline Christie in her chrome Stormtrooper armor, has previously been confined almost exclusively to a burning village on a desert planet, presumably Jakku. Each cover features a small icon of a vehicle with each character, as well, and Finn’s is a TIE-fighter, a nod to the fact that he starts his story as a member of the villainous First Order. He’s also in his clearest shot yet carrying the blue lightsaber that once belonged to Luke Skywalker, and before him to Anakin Skywalker (before he became Darth Vader, of course).
