    I like it. He's been a long time Star Wars fan, it would be a dream come true for him an he's a great friend of JJ. Didn't he also voiced some character in the Clone Wars series?

    Cameo role if anything. There's more people in the listed cast than there were total speaking roles in pretty much all of the other SW movies.

    I for one hope this is not true. I do not like Pegg due to his attitude towards the prequel and him going out of his way to bash them. I also have an experience with him that left a bad taste in my mouth about him and confirmed for me is not a cool guy, but we'll save that for another day.

    Meh. Pegg is in some good stuff, but I can take or leave him.

    I can live with it as long as its a throw away role about the size of Jira's role in TPM.

    I am as always not worried about anyone's feelings toward the PT and they are free to express those feelings any way they want. Obviously GL wasn't too worried about it either since he allowed him to be cast in TCW and that's good enough for me. Also I really like him as an actor.

    "sigh", again with the " I don't want him because he doesn't like the prequels"non-sense? News flash: not everyone likes the PT, just get over it.

    I can totally see someone bringing a famous tweet of him soon.

    I've actually been expecting rumors/news like this for awhile. I'll actually be shocked if Pegg isn't in Ep. VII in some way.

    Yeah I'm fine with an actor not liking the prequels. It's not like mid-scene their character is going to start yelling "THE PREQUELS ARE AWFUL! EVERYBODY WHO LIKES THEM IS IN DENIAL!". What they think of the films in real life will most likely have no impact on who they play in the films.
    Anywho, I'm still waiting for the inevitable Zoe Saldana rumor since she seems to be hell-hent on trying to take over the sci-fi genre (Avatar, GOTG, Star trek)

    It's not that he dislikes them. I am sure there are plenty of cast and crew on this movie who don't like them. With him it's more about the fact that he has made it his life mission to publicly bad mouth them and give them a bad name. There is a big difference.

    For me, it's less his badmouthing of the prequels and more that he feels like a one-note actor to me, personally. That said, his Dengar voicework surprised me a bit, so I reserve the right (as always) to be completely wrong.

    Pegg is a huge fan and Spaced was a great show that I really enjoyed at the time.

    That said, I don't think he's in the movie.

    Pegg's got layers, check out his performance in "The World's End", which is way deep, yo.

    One-note actor rarely surprises me.

    Pegg is one of the good guys, so I hope he's in the movie (in some capacity).

    Yeah, this is true. An extra from the movie tweeted Simon about their time in Abu Dhabi a couple weeks back.

    I'd assume Simon's role will be a small cameo.

    I'm in the "if he's in, I bet he's a small cameo, probably under a mask or something" camp. Certainly not in the "burn the infidel" camp.
