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.

"Star Wars-Episode 7" Directing & Casting Rumors!
Soooooooooooooooooo the latest rumors on whats happening on over at the Disney camp is that they are on the mad hunt for a new director to helm the 7th film in the long running sci-fi franchise. Word is that the studio are looking at BIG names such as Matthew Vaughn and Robert Rodriguez to helm the new film/trilogy.
Reports are saying that Vaughn left the "X-Men: First Class" sequel to begin talks with Disney to direct the new film, which is set for a 2015 release. With Rodriguez, Disney would be taking a BIG risk seeing as he seems to have lost his touch with the kids seeing as the last "Spy Kids" film was a complete mess. I hardly think Disney would take that risk and left him take on the new "Star Wars". Plus, would Rodriguez go "Spy Kids" style and aim it for the kids or would he play in the best of both worlds like the first three films from the 70's and 80's.
On the news of casting, Mark Hamill has confirmed that he will be returning to the role of Luke Skywalker in some sort of a way. Supposedly he's appearing as a Obi Wan Kenobi type character. This is what Hamill said during an interview,
An insider has commented on Ford returning by saying,
UPDATE: Carrie Fisher has confirmed that she would love the chance to return as Princess Lea in "Episode 7"...............so that's all three lead cast members confirming that they want to return. Listen to this Disney and don't not include them!!!

Hamill revealed, "[George] said, 'Um, how'd you like to be in Episode nine?' This is 1976. 'When is that going to be?' '2011.' I defy anyone to add 36 years to their lives and not be stunned." Hamill then added, "I said, 'Well, what do you want me to do?' George said, 'You'll just be like a cameo. You'll be like Obi-Wan handing the lightsaber down to the next new hope.'"
He said that Carrie Fisher will also be returning and so will Harrison Ford, though it's unsure if he'll appear in any scenes with Fisher or Hamill, seeing as the both hate each other.An insider has commented on Ford returning by saying,
“Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are,”
THIS FILM COULD BE REALLY GREAT!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CASTING TO SERIOUSLY BEGIN!!!UPDATE: Carrie Fisher has confirmed that she would love the chance to return as Princess Lea in "Episode 7"...............so that's all three lead cast members confirming that they want to return. Listen to this Disney and don't not include them!!!
