Manuel (and Yoda!) here to talk more Star Wars!
I have been an avid Star Wars fan since as far back as I can remember (blame my mom who was obsessed with Harrison Ford!) and so I couldn't let this celebration go by without throwing my two cents.
Nathaniel already wished you all a Happy May the Fourth, but as if intent on making sure the franchise isn't resting on nostalgia, Vanity Fair has just released a number of beautiful portraits of the new recruits of The Force Awakens and I couldn't not share three of them with you:
Oscar Isaac: woofworthy since 2011 (and probably even before but I do love him in Drive)
The helmet is off and we get a first glimpse at bad guy Kylo Ren (Adam Driver)
And I saved the best for last:
Lupita: luminous even when doing motion capture (her character is apparently a pirate named Maz Kanata)
Which of these pics will you be framing and swooning over until December when the film opens? Do these portraits give you hope, or do they just give you flashbacks to the equally glossy and gawk-worthy ones that greeted Episode One?
