    Just remember that no matter who they cast, no one will ever top the original Star Wars piece of ***!

    That movie looks terrible, but I must say that the choreography and performance looked alright.

    Whoever they cast I hope at some point in the next 3 episodes they end up on Bespin and Lando has a hot daughter that he is constantly trying to protect from guys always hitting on her. Maybe the Solo kid grabs her hand and kisses it, mumbling something about how she "...truly belongs here, among the clouds". See how Lando likes it...

    Speaking of Lando's daughter, what about Tessa Thompson (from BBC America's Copper) for the role?

    It's not simply because they're former Disney actors. It's because three fourths of them can't even act. Used to be, actors could sing, dance, tell jokes, and act in the same 30-minute episodes. Now, the actors can't even act in a 30-minute episode! :rolleyes:

    Probably a lot of actors, and actresses are going to read for the roles, and they only have a month, or two to find main, and supporting casts.
    They will need time to get in shape, be trained in fencing, and running, and if they have to do any acrobatics, as well as learning the scripts.
    Plus they have to see if the performers have chemistry together., not just with the other main characters, but with the supporting cast, any skywalker kids have to be compatible with Mark Hamill, any Solo kids with Fisher, and Ford.

    I'm still hearing the big 3 were originally going to be announced today. May have been pushed to D23.

    Yeah, they may do that tomorrow or wait for D23. I doubt we will hear about any casting of the main leads. I am willing to bet they are deep in the middle of that process right now...

    We still have the closing ceremonies for an announcement. I still say they wouldn't let the opportunity to have the entire spotlight on them at CEII go to waste. [face_praying]

    I agree, I think Luke, Han, Leia are getting confirmed at the end of it. Otherwise, I see no reason to wheel out both Fisher, and Hammil for Celebration. Ford, obviously, can be done via video...

    While I agree, it could be that Disney have pulled rank and want the big fanfare at their main event I guess. The Williams news, while fantastic, does seem to be a bit of damp squib compared to the buzz they'd generate by announcing the cast.

    Yeah, I was expecting something more solid today. The Williams news is good to hear, but I think we all knew he was at least scoring Episode 7 already.

    I'm not entirely sure how confident I am about an announcement at the closing ceremonies. I mean, I guess it could happen, but those are generally reserved for the big reveal about the when and where the next Celebration will take place. At this point, I think we're better off just waiting to see what D23 reveals.

    But hey, if I'm proven wrong, I'll take that! :p

    Keep in mind that Hamill and Fisher have been regular guests at Celebration since the first Celebration Europe in 2007. It isn't out of the ordinary to have them at the CE:II. As for Ford, it'll probably be easier to get him to attend a convention in Anaheim than it would in Germany. Could that possibly have some bearing on the decision to postpone it? I'll certainly take waiting a few more weeks if he will be there in person and have all three of them there rather than only seeing two of the three.

    Well, to be fair, we already know that the "big three" are going to be in it as well. Confirmation isn't exactly "earth shattering" news. Main leads is where that stuff starts to go a bit crazy. I don't think we will get that announcement for a few weeks to month or two. Plot details probably don't even start seriously leaking until next year.

    The worst part of that video is that someone accidentally used the word "hilarious" when they uploaded it.

    More on topic, I don't expect to hear much from the closing ceremonies other than when the next celebration is. I was expecting something out of CE2, but it looks like We're waiting until at least D23.

    Well apparently Ian McDarmid said earlier at CEII that the cast announcement was sometime soon and also stated there would be some "suprising additions."

    I don't have the source, someone else posted this on another thread.

    Yeah, I am willing to shun Episode 7 for obvious and blatant vacuous casting choices solely in order to lure in the tweenie female group 12- 17; To unabashedly take advantage of the Twilight/Hunger Games drama Queen & Drama King set.

    If that's the audience they are now targeting, let them. I'll watch it on DVD and then decide if I want to support Mickey Wars. I've said it long ago that I will not support a Bieber, Gomez, Effron, Gossling, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Shia Lebouf mentality to my all-time favorite movie saga. If you, and others can stomach it, good for you. Disney will be making a HUGE mistake.

    Yeah -- this is the point. The rumor supporters clearly are the superficial ones who don't get it. Gossling and Effron aren't good actors. Why would we want them in SW. After all the flack GL took for the acting in the PT and now we should have the most superficial "fadtors" mucking up the PT. LOL
