Star Wars Photos From Disney’s D23 Expo

There was this cast photo from Star Wars: Rogue One that has everybody asking who exactly these folks are playing. SlashFilm tips us off to some fans suggesting that Diego Luna might be playing Biggs Darklighter: "Darklighter has a history with Luke Skywalker. The two of them were childhood friends on Tatooine, but Biggs left to join the academy before Luke did. If you want more information on Biggs Darklighter, check out his Wookieepedia entry right here."  Then there was this beautiful poster art by Drew Struzan for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is yet more eye candy for Star Wars freaks like us, including Daisy Ridley's awesome staff and the 12 blue Tie-fighters. Needless to say, Disney's D23 Expo was a veritable data dump of Star Wars-related photos and art, but still no new trailer.

Anyway, here's a few more photos for you to feast on from the event. Much of the cast of The Force Awakens was on hand to take the stage and continue the drumbeat until the film's sure-to-be epic premiere on December 25.
