Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Big Questions We Still Have No Answers For

8. How Does Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o And Max Von Sydow Fit Into The Overall Movie?

With a seemingly epic story filled with a large roster of new and old characters, most of all the promotional and marketing material for The Force Awakens so far have been primarily focused on the veterans of the original trilogy and the newcomers, Finn, Rey, Poe, and Kylo Ren. As such, there's been considerably less room for some of the major supporting characters portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o and Max von Sydow. In fact, we know very little about the five characters portrayed by these five great actors. What do know is that Gleeson is General Hux and he is a General (obviously) in the First Order, Christie is Phasma, a female captain of the First Order, Serkis is Snoke, a guy who may or may not be behind the First Order and may or may not be a Sith Lord, and Nyong'o plays a pirate named Max Kanata. Whilst there is enough info out there to suggest that Hux, Phasma, Snoke are on the 'bad side', the film looks like it has to squeeze in so much new and old stuff that it's unclear just how big of a role they each will play in the grand scheme of things. As for Nyong'o, we know next to nothing about her character, what she officially looks like, or how a seemingly insignificant pirate like her would fit into the film at all. And Sydow? Well, there's literally no information anywhere on his role, not even a name, so we actually have no idea what Sydow's mysterious character is or how he fits into the film at all. And it's not even the new characters that we have little to no info about either...
