Vanity Fair and its ace photographer Annie Leibovitz<\/strong> has created winning portraits of the cast from Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/strong> with John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Chewbacca<\/strong>, a new droid BB8 and Harrison Ford<\/strong> gracing the latest cover. They also have a video shoot from the set.<\/p>\n

According to the site<\/a>, in addition to the blend of old and new characters on the cover,\u00a0Annie Leibovitz\u00a0traveled to the film\u2019s set and photographed never-before-seen images of characters played by\u00a0Adam Driver,\u00a0Gwendoline Christie<\/strong>, and\u00a0Lupita Nyong\u2019o<\/strong>. The Oscar-winning actress is covered in C.G.I. tracking dots, revealing that even her most die-hard fans may not recognize her playing a purely animated character in the film. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lupita Nyong\u2019o is playing a motion-captured character named Maz Kanata, while Gwendoline Christie’s will play Captain Phasma, officer in the newly-announced First Order. She will be part of the First Order, formed out of the ashes of the Galactic Empire after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
