With Force Friday upon us, we’re about to be inundated with new looks at the characters from J.J. Abrams’ sequel/new-saga-starter Star Wars: The Force Awakens by way of boatloads of Star Wars toys. Indeed, there are no doubt people more excited for this “Force Friday” event than the movie itself, but before we pore over every LEGO set and action figure looking for clues or hints to what might happen in The Force Awakens, it feels prudent to take some time to look back at what we officially know about the film and characters so far.

To do that, we’ve compiled all of the officially released images from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. These are the looks that Abrams himself approved to be unveiled to the public at large, and are indeed the ways in which he and the filmmaking team intended for characters like General Hux to be unveiled to the public. So before we see the movie in just a couple of months and then dissect it endlessly until Rogue One comes out, let’s take a minute to relish this moment of anticipation and “not knowing”.

Rey Rides a Battery

So this image is from the very first teaser trailer, in which Daisy Ridley’s Rey—one of the film’s heroes—rides some type of vehicle, presumably on the desert planet of Jakku.

The Hero Is a Stormtrooper?!

Also from the teaser trailer, the introduction of John Boyega’s Finn in a stormtrooper outfit was tantalizing in the best way. Does he go from good to bad?  Bad to good? Is he in disguise? What happened to all the clones? We don’t know!

Cool Lightsaber, Bro

Our first look at Adam Driver’s villainous Kylo Ren was a one-two punch of excitement. From “Ohhh who’s that” to “Cross guards whaaaa?!” in the span of a few seconds. A curious character indeed, we now know that Ren’s lightsaber is homemade.

The Falcon's Back!

The money shot from the first trailer—the Millennium Falcon back in action in the film’s primary IMAX sequence.

Meet Rey

Our first good look at Rey, one of the film’s main heroes or the main hero?

Spaceship!

A spaceship. And other, tiny spaceships. Neat!

Come with Me If You Want to Live

Finn considers getting up or continuing to sit on the ground like a jackass. Time is of the essence, probably.

Enter Captain Phasma

One of the film’s most promising creations thus far: Gwendoline Christie’s villainous Captain Phasma. Will we see under the helmet? Is she hideously scarred or just having a bad acne day? Could she look any worse than Vader under his helmet? We don’t know!

Zoom Zoom Zoom!

Another shot of the Millennium Falcon during the chase sequence on Jakku. But who’s driving?

Ship Meets Bigger Ship

Okay that’s how do you do scale.

BB-8 Peekin'

The adorable (and practical!) new droid BB-8 as introduced in the trailer, getting his peek on.

Take a Breath

So is this before or after we see Finn on the planet, unmasked? Don’t know, but intriguing nonetheless.

"Feel My Robot Hand, R2"

BB-8 may be all the rage, but R2-D2’s still kickin’ around in the Star Wars universe, and he’s got a buddy with a robot hand. Luke?

Passing the Baton

A lightsaber passes through two unknown hands, though one is presumed to be that of Carrie Fisher’s Leia.

New World Order

And here we meet The First Order, which is a remnant of the Empire and an organization committed to being evil, or something or other. Same-looking troops in strict alignment, massive regalia. Remind you of something?

Kylo Ren Revealed

Our first look at Kylo Ren from the front, which reveals his custom-built helmet that he modeled off of Darth Vader’s look. It’s pretty clear here that the force is strong with this one.

Run Away!

Explosions, a droid, and a big stick. This looks to be another shot of the Jakku sequence as our heroes attempt to outrun an attack from above.

The First Order Unites

This appears to be simply a reverse shot of that other First Order image, but it does reveal an AT-AT off to the side and the back of Captain Phasma’s head. But who’s that at the microphone?

Practical, Practical, Practical

This gorgeous image not seen in any footage thus far shows off Abrams’ use of practical effects. Also: BB-8 is pack-able.

Burn, Baby, Burn

Did Finn crash this himself, or did he find it?  Remember that at least in the original trilogy, fighter pilots have different costumes than stormtroopers.
