While you probably knew everyone in Ellen’s Twitter-breaking pic (save for Lupita Nyong’o’s now-famous photo-bombing brother), the photo above takes some further explaining, even for those of you strong in the Force.

And for those of you who are particularly weak in the Force, the numbers below refer to the numbers above.

Now that we’ve got a who’s who, let’s take a closer look at what’s what…

-The MIA Kenny Baker is represented by the R2-D2 model. Either Baker doesn’t have any lines or he reallycan’t stand being in the same room as Anthony Daniels.

-No sign of Max von Sydow in the photo. Maybe he’s hiding in one of those mystery crates?

-Ford and Abrams are in deep conversation, presumably about whether Greedo shot first. Ford also needs some antiperspirant.

-Ridley and Fisher appear to be bonding, perhaps over the fact that they’re the only female leads in the group?

-Fisher’s shoes aren’t comfortable.

-Mayhew and Serkis appear to be the only two actually interested in reading the script.

-Bryan Burk needs a tissue.

-Gleeson’s hair is gravitating toward Kennedy’s head.

-Daniels really likes Hamill’s shirt.

-Hamill is trying to do the the Jedi mind trick on Kennedy. We assume he’s trying to get cast in the next Spielberg film.

-Both Isaac and Driver have shaved since we last saw them sing about outer space in “Inside Llewyn Davis.”

-Judging by the stain on his shirt, Kasdan apparently has some kind of jelly mishap.
