Cast of Star Wars: Episode VII Announced

April 29, 2014 | Filed under: Movie News and tagged with: cast, jj abrams, star wars

The next Star Wars saga to be helmed by J.J. Abrams has officially announced it’s cast. Most of them are unknowns, though I am happy to see original stars officially in.

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.”

This film follows (many years later I assume) the events of Revenge of the Jedi after the Empire has fallen and the New Republic has been established. I’ll post more on these new cast members as I find out about them.

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 December 18, 2015.
