Empire’s new Star Wars magazine covers show off the heroes and villains

We've seen Entertainment Weekly's take on THE FORCE AWAKENS, and now it's Empire's turn. Fitting for the magazine title, The First Order takes center stage in the first of two covers. Front and center is Kylo Ren complete with his makeshift lightsaber, along with Captain Phasma to the left and Domhnall Gleeson's General Hux to the right. On the lighter side of things, Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron occupy the deserts of Jakku for the light side cover. Believe you me, if there was a higher resolution available, we'd have it for ya!

Granted, this isn't actually the image dump that came along with the Entertainment Weekly cover, but it's a nice reminder of things to come. As the release date approaches, promotion for THE FORCE AWAKENS is only going to snowball. Now how long until we receive an official picture of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker?

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS opens on December 16, 2015.
