Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 8 Incredible New Set Photos You Need To See

4. A New Take On An Iconic Costume

It's understandable that J.J. Abrams would redesign the classic look of the Stormtroopers, but despite how much different The First Order's helmets are to those of both the Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers from the Original Trilogy, there's no mistaking who these iconic helmets belong to. This photo appears to have been taken during that fantastic tracking shot on Maz Kanata's planet, removed by an actor to catch some air between takes. Seeing as the Stormtrooper who confronts Finn in this scene (nicknamed "TR-8R" because of him labelling Finn a traitor as he swings his Z6 riot control baton) has received so much attention, many fans would no doubt like to think it belongs to him, especially as he's become an unexpected fan favourite and the star of many memes.
