Star Wars 7 News first reported on Ken Leung’s (Lost) involvement in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ and now we have our first look Leung’s character.
Who is Leung playing? StarWars7News believe that Leung’s character is “…a high military rank, discussing the Resistance strategy with Leia in the secret Base.”

Here’s an interview that Leung posted from a Mexico-based website called Sinembargo.mx (original text translated by Google. I had to tweak it a little. Google translation can be off a bit):
It is more than an honor [to be in Star Wars], it’s like an amusement park for adults, like everything is very magical, as if you were a child, it’s rare, something really great and I can’t say more than I’m there because everything is very secret. I only had my script. I couldn’t leave my dressing room because there were planes trying to take photos of us, a real secret.
The first ‘Star Wars’ was released the year that my brother was born and he died two years ago, but is always with me and I remember the first time I heard they were filming here in Albuquerque and I told my agent to get me an audition, but nothing happened.
Then, when I got a call that they wanted me for ‘Star Wars’ I thought it was my brother who was answering my request I had made, because I think a lot about it and this is something very special.
Princess Leia was the first love of my brother and I was with her and I told him, so everything is very special because I never imagined to be part of that.
