(VULTURE.com) — Vanity Fair sent its finest protocol droid, AN-E L3-B0-V1TZ, to the U.K. set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it returned with our first good looks at two of the film’s most mysterious characters. The first is Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren — the three-pronged lightsaber guy — who, if you couldn’t tell from his all-black ensemble and legion of Snowtroopers, is supposed to be a bad guy. According to the mag, Ren and the troopers are “loyal to the evil First Order,” and are seen here “on the frozen plains of their secret base.” They’re not riding tauntauns, which is just more proof that the Rebellion — er, the Resistance — is more fun.
