Mm. It would all depend on whether we see his face, whether Boba's had cosmetic surgery and now looks like an Englishman... But Jason Wingreen is still around, too... Just sayin'.

We've also never seen his face, so again Jeremy isn't canon, the character and his now Kiwi voice is.![]()
This has got to be the most beautiful costume seen so far from TFA in my opinion.

I saw that earlier and I agree. So far this is the only armor costume that I think is great. That really looks like a natural progression of the TIE Pilot. The thing on top of the helmet now definitely looks like a blast shield that would sit right over the eyes. It looks like it has a curve at the bottom to fit over the front of the helmet.
Some new potential backstory for Finn which sounds like it could verify his name is simply a derivation of his Stormtrooper FN designation. And we do know ST have shields in the film, so the part about them potentially having some rudimentary light saber fighting training could be the case.

heh... i hope some of thats false
I like it, all of it. What's the issue?
It might have something to do with the fact that the article says stormtroopers are trained with lightsabers. And I can't disagree with that. I mean, I'm ok with it, but only so long as they're actually no match for a true Jedi. If a stormtrooper can go toe to toe with a Jedi and actually survive the encounter (assuming it would be necessary for the Jedi to kill said stormtrooper), that would just be ridiculous...that would be a major shark-jump (and the fact that they were originally going use lightsabers in the early stages of production on ANH doesn't count).I like it, all of it.

See?lightsaber wielding storm troopers...
lightsaber wielding storm troopers...

Then you don't know your original McQuarrie concept art. One of the best parts of SW is Ralph's art, this is no exception. They even have shields.

I don't read that as the implication at all. And of course it counts, it's a nice tip of the hat to a great design element. Nothing about this suggest they are proficient, why would they need to be as there are no Jedi to fight?
umm yes i do know of the original McQuarrie concept art, and am i HUGE fan of his work. i dont like seeing troopers trained with lightsabers... sorry. i can see this becoming true, it takes away from the jedi/sith/dark siders being special..
i hope to god its not true
Again, you are drawing conclusions not inherit in the link I posted. There are NO Jedi left except Luke, who is in hiding. The First Order clearly have some association with the Knights of Ren. It's unclear if the knights all use lightsabers or if its just Kylo. But if they do, and Kylo does, then it would be a reasonable assumption they would show some of their troops how to use one as well. Not like a Jedi, but as a means of fear and intimidation.
hey i got a question for ya. i dont really read every single post in this thread and i only jump in once in awhile hoping to get some new leaked set pictures. today my friend sent me another screencap and link off facebook where it brought me to a site (no name site) and was talking about the new trailer and what we will see. have you heard about the knights of ren destroying a temple and wielding red and purple sabers?!
The only similar thing I have heard is part of the flashback/Force vision that Maz help give Rey and Finn. In that vision, I think we see the destruction of the Jedi Temple that Luke tried to build. I think the scene in the first teaser where Luke puts his hand on R2 might be just after that as he decides to remove himself from galactic events. It was assumed the attackers were Sith but now that we know about the Knights of Ren, it makes sense they would be the assailants.
