Luke. Leia. Han. Chewie. Artoo. Threepio. All present and accounted for as StarWars.com unveiled the official cast of "Star War: Episode VII" Tuesday.
Here's the full release:
The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.
Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.
Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."
Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on Dec. 18, 2015.
While original stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford had dropped hints that they would be reprising their roles for the new chapter, which takes place around 35 years after "Return of the Jedi," nothing was confirmed until today. The trio will be joined by longtime castmates Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca).
New additions include Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, who recently appeared together in the Coen brothers' 2013 folk music drama "Inside Llewyn Davis." Also onboard: Andy Serkis (best known as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy), Domhnall Gleeson ("About Time",) and the legendary Max von Sydow ("The Exorcist"). Fresh faces John Boyega ("Attack the Block") and Daisy Ridley (who has appeared in just a handful of BBC dramas) round out the cast.
Welcome to my nightmare...
Maybe they can get Keith Richards to play Han Solo's father.
i agree! while my friends and classmates went to the beach on Senior Cut Day, i went to see Return of the Jedi... May 1983 :)
And if SHE does wear that gold bikini again, if she’s overwweight, it will PROVE once and for all that Jabba the Hut DID IN FACT have his way with her... and that a Jabba Injection did in fact occur.
It’s hard to imagine worse movies than the last 3.
Could not stand that character...
A Rastafarian dumbass nightmare.
i think she looks pretty good here for her age... and especially for her past lifestyle...
That's Jedi Grandmaster Flash to you.
LOL, I skipped my last day of High School to see Star Wars on the opening night.
They must have the same plastic surgeon!
Note to self: issue buy order on caftan market.
yo-yo diets with weight changes is very stressful to body especially over 50.
There is a reason why old actors don't revive old roles from past decades, common sense.
Harrison Ford looked stupid in his last Raiders film.
The Beatles quit while their music was still great and once Lennon was gone it couldn't be ruined.
Please don’t put her in a slave girl outfit!!!
Kind of eerie, ain’t it...
Same Moonbat glaze to the eyes too...
Sounds like it will be like Episode 4. :P
Alternatively if she lost all that fat it would still look gross(showing any skin) , if you ever seen that before.
I was just thinking this very morning “I haven’t heard any news about the new Star Wars movie in a long time, maybe it was all a hoax.”
I was gonna google it but forgot.
Will Carrie be playing Leia, or Donut the Hutt?
