Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 23 Major New Reveals You Need To See

22. Child Soldiers

Over the years, the Stormtroopers have been a big topic of debate among Star Wars fans. While the divisive prequels revealed that they were clones, George Lucas would later confirm that the ones seen in the original trilogy were not also replicas of Jango Fett. In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, they will once again be recruits from around the Galaxy, though there's going to be a surprising and somewhat timely twist. According to John Boyega, the Stormtroopers in this movie were actually raised from childhood to serve the remnants of the scattered Imperial forces who would eventually become The First Order. Fed lies and propaganda to manipulate them into serving this villainous group, this is a scenario obviously reminiscent of child soldiers in any number of countries around the world. Will Poe be the one to reveal the truth to Finn?
