Ok, so this is old news but I've not reported it yet so here we go. THE CAST FOR "STAR WARS VII" HAS FINALLY BEEN REVEALED and my god this cast was totally unexpected. Obviously, we have the return of the original cast, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, the great Harrison Ford, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels. They will all be joined by the band of new cast members to bring a whole new set of fans to the long-running MASSIVE sci-fi franchise. The new cast are as follows, Andy Serkis (Lord Of The Rings, Planet Of The Apes), Adam Driver (Girls), Max Von Sydow (The Exorcist), Daisy Ridley (The Inbetweeners 2), Jon Boyega (Attack The Block), Oscar Isaac (The Bourne Legacy) and Domhnall Gleeson (DREDD). There is also one more lead female role to be filled but nothing has been mentioned as to yet.
No information has been released on who is playing who but it's rumoured that the young cast are playing the off-springs of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Some fans are also assuming that Jon Boyega could be playing the son of Lando, who has yet to be announced as to if he will be making a cameo or so in "EPISODE VII" played by the great Billy Dee Williams.
I am not familiar with any of the new young cast to be honest. Obviously I know Andy Serkis and Max Von Sydow but other than them, all newcomers basically. Well, they've been in other things but nothing as BIG as the "Star Wars" franchise. I like that JJ Abrams has cast some actors as his leads because that's basically what George Lucas done back in the day for the roles of Luke, Han and Leia.
Filming is now under way and I'm sure that during Comic-Con this year, they're will be announcements of some sort i.e the films official title and a possible teaser poster.
