New 'Star Wars' film images showcase Dark Side

Very suitable. Showcasing the Dark Side in a dark age.

Hmmm... why did I think this comes out in September in the US? I'm glad it will be roughly the same time, if not exactly for a change, in Japan, because there is NO WAY you could avoid the spoilers for this one unless you shut yourself off from society completely.

Star Trek >> Star Wars

Farmboy: "Captain Phasma? Now that's lame. Does he shoot plasma bolts in a phantastc way? And General Hux? The dark side must affect the naming function somehow."

Undoubtedly Disney's input there. I can't imagine Abrams thinking up such crappy names, but agreeing on the insistence from the producers.
