The names of characters played by John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Daisy Ridley in Star Wars: The Force Awakens have been revealed in a set of trading cards.<\/p>\n

Director JJ Abrams confirmed the names via some old school trading cards, in a humorous nod to when the films were first released in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Boyega’s card showed his character to be called Finn, with Ridley’s named Rey and Isaac’s known as Poe Dameron.<\/p>\n

The football-like droid, seen in the recent trailer, was revealed as BB:8.<\/p>\n

Oscar Isaac is X-Wing fighter pilot Poe Dameron<\/div>\n

The trading cards also feature a Sith warrior named Kylo Ren.<\/p>\n

The seventh instalment of the sci-fi saga is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.<\/p>\n

The film, which reunites original stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 18 December 2015.<\/p>\n

Two more films are planned as part of the latest Star Wars chapter.<\/p>\n

The original Star Wars trilogy, released between 1977 and 1983, was envisioned by director Lucas as the central chunk of a nine-movie cycle.<\/p>\n

Disney are behind the forthcoming trilogy in the franchise following a deal which saw them buy Lucasfilm for more than $4bn (\u00a32.5bn).<\/p>\n

An 88-second trailer was released last month, revealing a new cross-shaped lightsaber and Tie Fighters pursuing the Millennium Falcon.<\/p>\n
