    A lot of movies have production names to throw people off the scent. Like Marvel's Avengers was called "Group Hug" on production notes.

    I get the production name....but do a lot of movies have character code names for everyone?
    I can understand if Luke is going to pop up in the final scene, and you want to disguise it with something like "Ultimate Badass Warrior." But it seems like there's a lot of random characters with codenamed:
    The Vicar= MvS
    Rose= Puppet Lupita
    Kira= Rey
    Original Warrior= Luke
    Young Original Warrior= Robert Boulter
    The Emissary= Masie Richardson-Sellers
    The General= Gleeson
    Uber= Serkis
    The Clan= bunch of dudes
    The Seven= more dudes
    Jedi Killer = Kylo
    Queen= Leia

    But then others aren't code names:
    Finn
    Poe
    Han
    Chewbacca
    Phasma

    I see a trend....but does anyone else?

    ** Edited to include other code names and who they are in the movie

    Leia is QUEEN.

    We know MSW is changing the "Kira" references to "Rey" when he writes about them.

    I've seen it said that Kylo Ren's code name and initials are JK or "Jedi Killer". I don't know if it's being replaced by "Kylo Ren" when he writes about it.

    True...so everyone has a code name huh?
    Wonder what Han,Poe and Finn's code names are?

    By the way...anyone know who Sheamus O'Shaunessy is playing?

    He was at Skellig Micahel the day OW and K were there....or was he?
    Could be a joke, right?

    So you're saying Max Von Sydow looks like an aged cartoon clonetrooper? Or all old people look the same to you?

    There's no close resemblance there.
    And clones of this guy don't end up being old white people.

    I'm not saying I believe it, just that the old clone looks similar to Max.

    MSW: "There is a series of deigns labeled “JK Droid” and they run the gamut of droids in the universe we’ve seen. Interestingly, it appears a few of these designs might have been transferred over and used for the scavengers. For all I know, the JK Droid was always a scavenger droid, I really don’t know. Point is, there is one concept of a larger droid. It was designed by L. Fisher in August of 2013."

    THE EXTRAS OF STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS QUICK ANALYSIS!

    There were concept designs for droids labeled JK it says.

    After he got the documentation he wrote on a messageboard "JK means Jedi Killer and is the code name for Kylo Ren. Jedi Killer and Jedi Hunters were used synonymously with "Inquisitors" by sources (an unfortunate word choice really)."

    Most of the ones I uncovered on that website the last time deleted that they were a part of the movie.

    Don't forget an early rumor:

    It turns out that Kylo doesn't kill The Vicar after all, MVS pops up near the end of the film, revealed to be the big bad of the new trilogy.

    Show me one example where JJ has cast a white man to play the older version of a character who was previously not a white guy.

    Let alone tall, gangly and ginger.
