'Star Wars: The Force Awakens': Name of Simon Pegg's character revealed; New trailer shows R2-D2, C-3PO meeting BB-8
Details about Simon Pegg’s character in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” have been revealed in a new report. Meanwhile, a new video of a scene from the movie has surfaced online that shows the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO meeting with BB-8.
According to a report by Making Star Wars, Pegg will be playing the role of Unkar Plutt in the movie. The report describes the character as an “angry looking oaf.” The character is said to have a big “downturned nose” and apparently has “troll-like” looks.
Unkar Plutt is a junk dealer in the desert planet of Jakku, where the movie’s main character Rey (Daisy Ridley) will be found trying to make a living. According to the official website of the franchise, Unkar has a few “strong-armed bullies” who work for him in the junk scavenging business.
Meanwhile, a new video posted on the Twitter account of O2, shows one of the scenes in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The video shows the droids R2-D2 wandering on the planet Jakku and they appear to be lost. “Oh R2! We have been wandering this desert forever,” C-3PO complains in the video. The little droid starts to go on its own and C-3PO asks the droid not to leave him there.
The two droids manage to reach a place that appears to be a moisture farm, a common occupation in desert planets in the fantasy world George Lucas created. The droids see the soccer droid BB-8. The droids seem to have an appointment with BB-8 and R2-D2 says that they were late because of his companion. The classic music of the franchise is featured in the new video.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is slated to be released on Dec. 17, 2015 in Australia and on Dec. 18th in the US. A tweet by Yahoo Movies confirms that director J.J. Abrams has finished the “final mix” of the movie and the final cut of the movie is now ready.
