Force Friday was the huge unveiling of Star Wars goodies, toys, collectibles and more which will certainly continues to fuel the hype machine for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. One of the creatures is Sarco Plank, an alien on Jakku where Rey and Finn have been seen in action.
Sarco Plank appears to be an alien scavengers on the planet Jakku and the art on the action figure package matches those action figures of Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega).
Slash Film had a keen eye and noted that “Back when Vanity Fair did a whole spread on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one of the images was a stage shot of J.J. Abrams directing a scene with Rey on her speeder next to a small market tent of some sort. And if you looked carefully at one of the background characters, you saw Sarco Plank.”
In fact, the new description states that the character is “A scavenger and trader who scours frontier worlds for riches, Sarco Plank must wear a specialized mask that keeps his native atmosphere circulating through his alien lungs.”
