Actor Ken Leung stars in the Force Awakens

Great news! Both Makingstarwars.net and Starwars7news.com, have just posted something brand new today! This exclusive post shows that actor Ken Leung (who played Kid Omega from X-Men III: Last Stand) will appear in the Force Awakens.

Here is a picture of him as Kid Omega from X-Men:

Leung has been known as a very experienced TV and movie actor because in addition to a regular role he did in later season of the series Lost (produced by Abrams), he has appeared in a recurring role on the Bad Robot which was produced Person of Interest. While outside of TV, Leung’s numerous roles include some smaller appearances during some shows like in Spike Lee’s Inside Man, Brett Ratner’s Red Dragon, and Steven Spielberg’s A.I.: Artificial Intelligence for example.

Spoiler Alert! According to Starwars7news.com there is some definite proof of what kind of character Leung is portraying in the Force Awakens. Leung is playing a military officer of the Rebels, wearing a brown uniform with a reddish belt. The uniform will include a rank insignia that denotes Leung’s character as a General (the same rank as Ackbar). Here’s what the costume designer Michael Kaplan said about Rebel uniforms in general: “The Rebels [in TFA] are in khakis and olives and some oranges—warmer colors.” And Leung’s character is wearing these colors.

Here’s a picture of the high rank rebel insignia:

According to the StarWars7News site, “. . . the rank insignia definitely resembles the old one used in previous movies, but instead of dots they’re using lines.”
