While the original "Star Wars' trilogy had easily drawn a line between the good characters and their enemies, the highly anticipated "Star Wars: The Force Awakens' may have just blurred some of these associations.
Several cast members of the upcoming film have spoken up about their evil characters to shed more light on their actual mission.
Adam Driver, who starred on HBO's "Girls,' takes on the role of the black-masked knight Kylo Ren, who yields a fiery red lightsaber and seeks to "finish" what Darth Vader started.
"It was more what do you think is the difference between being bad and being right, which I think is a huge difference," Driver said about portraying his character. "That's almost more evil, a group of people who decide that they're morally justified for behaving a certain way. That's how we kind of approached it and less like a bad person."
After filming scenes with Driver's Kylo Ren, fans are looking forward to Andy Serkis revealing more of his role despite being executed as a CGI character. Serkis described his character, Supreme Leader Snoke, as "strangely vulnerable at the same time as being quite powerful." The first ever teaser trailer's voiceover had been Snoke, saying: "There's been an awakening. Have you felt it? The dark side and the light."
As for Gwendoline Christie, who is also known for playing Brienne of Tarth in HBO's "Game of Thrones,' the actress remains inside the chrome armor of Captain Phasma. She commands a large group of Stormtroopers for what is left of the Empire, now referred to as the First Order.
"She is a Boba Fett-style character, striking and in command but not at the very forefront of the action always," Christie explained, comparing Phasma to the much-loved bounty hunter from the original trilogy. "Other than that, all I can say is that she is badass."
Another character associated with the First Order is General Hux, leader of the Starkiller Base, which could be recognized as the new generation of the Death Star. He will be played by Domhnall Gleeson, who once portrayed Ron Weasley's older brother, Bill Weasley, in the "Harry Potter' film franchise.
Gleeson insists that General Hux is merely seeking for a "little bit more order in the universe" as he compares his character to Kylo Ren. However, his threatening approach seemingly gives the character a more evil nature.
Fans can catch these actors as their evil characters when "Star Wars: The Force Awakens' makes its way to cinemas on Dec. 18.
