Episode 8 of the Star Wars saga is due out at the end of the year, and now fans can catch a glimpse of the new character.
It’s not clear how many Elite Praetorian Guards the Supreme Leader will have, but in comparison to previous leaks, they seem to have different helmet designs to their ‘regular’ counterparts.
Images emerged online via Reddit, and Star Wars News Net claims that the toys could be part for the Last Jedi Force Friday release event slated for September 1.
The images have since begun circulating on Twitter.
The Last Jedi is released in December and, at D23 last week, some of the stars of the movie spoke out about what’s in store.
Gwendoline Christie – who plays Captain Phasma – said: “It’s a huge film. I think it was a huge undertaking for Rian [Johnson, director].
“Any Star Wars movie is, but we had all re-established our connection to Star Wars with Episode 7 and with eight we have to go further.
“I don’t think anybody is going to be disappointed.”
She added: “I feel the film has real depth and is exploring the characters in a way and with detail that we’ve all craved for.”
Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, also spoke about the “surprising” nature of the movie whilst at the Disney event.
“Everyone talks about how different the direction is to what people may have been expecting. That’s great, and a massive blessing from having three different writers and directors for the different films,” she told Access Hollywood.
“People have an opinion of where they want it to go. Everyone has an expectation.
“Some are going to be fulfilled and some not. The surprise will be wonderful.”
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out on December 15.
