The one figure that REALLY stands out in the new (AMAZING) trailer for Episode 7 is the character people are calling the Chrome Trooper. Who is this awesome character destined to be the next Boba Fett? Click to find out!
Valar Morghulis!!! Valar Morghulis!!! [Translation = All Men Must Die] has to be the battle cry coming from Gwendoline Christie as she marches forward in this chrome stormtrooper suit. Guys – this is Brienne of Tarth we’re talking about! The 6 ft 3 in woman of awesomeness! I for one cannot contain myself because Gwen is one of my favorite characters on Game Of Thrones, and now she is in Star Wars? Pinch me – I’m in heaven!
According to Vulture, Christie will be playing the part of the chrome stormtrooper, most recently seen in latest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
I for one need a new chrome stormtrooper outfit – how about you? Or….. we can all revel in the image below – because, why not?
I heard this rumor while at Celebration and wish I hadn’t. I’d like to remain as spoiler free as possible — and when I heard this I almost screamed.
If Disney/Lucasfilm doesn’t release it — I don’t want to read it or see it.
As for this Chrome Trooper being Gwendoline Christie: if it’s true, I hope it’s not just some bit part.
