The countdown continues: five new character posters for Star Wars: The Force Awakens have been unveiled ahead of the film's December release. They look great, but someone is missing - again...

Following the release of the official movie poster and final trailer last month, the new character posters are a mix of legends and fresh faces.

Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Leia), Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) all get their close-ups.

But there's no sign of Mark Hamill as Luke. He didn't feature on last month's poster, either, and fan speculation has intensified that there will be some big reveal about his character in the new movie.

Along with Ford, Fisher and Hamill, the JJ Abrams-directed film stars returning greats Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker, with Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar Isaac and Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson among the other newcomers to the franchise.
