And helping to push the action figure line are Snowtroopers, TIE Fighter Pilots and the very exciting Flametrooper. The traditional Stormtrooper has gotten a very cool upgrade that most fans seem excited about. The leaders of the First Order are surrounded by a huge army of Stormtroopers, who come in a variety of styles and flavors in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. More First Order characters will surely emerge in the near future. So far, these are the only three members of the First Order that we've seen highlighted in the promotional campaign, which, while it seems to be showing us quite a lot, isn't really showing us anything at all. Kylo, Hux and Phasma all work for this organization, which has modeled itself after the Galactic Empire that was once ruled with an iron fist by Emperor Palpatine. They rose from the ashes of the second Death Star, destroyed by the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. The First Order is a militaristic body made up of remnants from the old Empire. And it teases the dark force rising, which will wash over our heroes on the big screen this December. So, even if this has been cobbled together by some lonely basement dwelling future poster maker, it's still pretty awesome. It appears to give us a new look at Domhnall Gleeson's General Hux, one we haven't seen before. If that's the case, it's an exceptional job. Though, it must be noted, some are saying this is a fan-made poster. It features the First Order Troops, lead by the new trio of villains, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma and General Hux. Now that we've seen the toys, we can get back to all the movie marketing materials, starting with a very cool international poster. The great unboxing of 2015 is finally over! It was 18 hours of straight up toy madness in anticipation of Force Friday, which kicks off across the country tonight, with a tidal wave of Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise set to drain your pocket book.
