    Yes, it could be just as simple as Serkis invited him. A few of the gang could have been there but only Anderson went on Twitter about it.

    Maybe Pip is one of the "Rockers"? Although I doubt such a role would require an extensive search.

    There's no reason that he can't be doing motion capture work for a character or characters other than the main character he is playing. If you want some crazily agile aliens/bounty hunters/what have you to be part of a chase and you already have a parkour expert on cast, you might as well use their skills. I'm not saying that he won't be some sort of alien in the film, but just because he is doing mo-cap work does not necessarily mean that he is *only* playing a motion-captured character. Often, people will play different roles in the same film. Look at Silas Carson from the prequels...

    Maybe he will be the primary alien sidekick since Serkis is apparently only cameoing...

    I would say that there will be a number of motion capture aliens in this movie, which would require a number of different actors to portray them distinctively. Picking Pip suggests to me a particularly 'agile' one. ;)

    If he was also at the Puzzlewood shot then I think it's reasonable to consider the possibility that he plays more than one character. :)

    So looking at Pip Andersen's timeline, scanning down the page I see an update from twitter on September 17th saying that he is now following the Imaginarium amongst a few other things. Makes sense. Weeks later he'd be spending the day with them. On a side note he is the only cast member aside from Serkis that the Imaginarium is following.

    When looking further back, not long after his casting announcement with Crystal Clarke in early July, it has an update saying he is following a bunch of people, now including Gwendoline Christie. This was during the time of the puzzlewood filming. An article posted in here suggests he was there with Driver, Boyega, and Ridley. But he has no tweets at all in June. Hmm

    Then there's an update between May 1st and May 19th. This one is interesting. At some point around then he decided to start following Star Wars, Bad Robot, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong'o, Chloe Bruce, Josh Exell, Clare Glass, Stephanie Whitehead, Katie McDonnell, Helen Chislett, and Stan Lee. An odd assortment of people. Keep in mind this is just a week or two after the big casting announcement and several weeks before Lupita Nyong'o was announced. I'm sure he also followed Boyega and Ridley before they nuked their accounts.

    So maybe the announcement didn't exactly coincide with when Clarke and Andersen actually signed on? The same with Nyong'o. It's possible that when they didn't get the roles cast in time for the script read, they delayed their announcements as they didn't want them to be overshadowed by the already announced cast and the start of Episode 7 filming. Plus if their characters weren't participating in Abu Dhabi, things could be held off a bit. Then in June they announced Nyong'o and Christie. But then Ford got injured and rather than compete with that story, they delayed their announcements further.


    EDIT: Maybe Ridley was so excited for the announcement because she was quite familiar with the two by then?

    I'm sure they were both signed on before they were announced. Driver, Boyega and Ridley most certainly were.

    I could see Pip doing mo-cap and/ or playing a minor character.

    Every Star Wars movie has a chase sequence of some sort - perhaps Episode VII's is a chase on foot.

    I think I said this in another thread but I'm still leaning towards him playing the younger blue alien that joins Ridley, Boyega and crew on the adventure. I don't know if he'll be voicing the character or not though and I think Serkis is playing the older one that might get killed during the desert dwelling raid. The older one might be a teacher or run an orphanage.

    There was a concept art piece of the blue alien riding the pig creature with Ridley kinda directing things from the ground as it dragged a ship behind it. Andersen doesn't tweet or retweet much, but one thing relating to Star Wars that he did tweet was an image of a tusken raider riding a bantha. It's possible he was teasing something he somewhat does in Episode 7.

    Pip will be a Stormtrooper or a pilot or something, although he could be doubling up for the Imaginarium.

    Yes, I suspect he and Clarke are playing small roles that feature across all three movies - the Sequel Trilogy's "Wedge" characters but maybe with something more to do.

    Looking over some of Andersen's YouTube videos, I'm remembering how amazing this guy is and once again psyched to see him in VII.

    I hadn't seen a picture of this guy until just now. My first thought is he's related to Han Solo. I mean literally, that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

    Jedi, X-wing pilot? He's young, looks like the kind of guy that ladies would like, very athletic, etc.

    He could also be a young upstart Imperial officer. Who knows. But he has the look of a good guy, if he plays a human.

    Nyong'o and Serkis are aliens, if the rumors are correct.

    The thing is: Pip was officially announced, Yerolemou and Chong weren`t. So I believe Pip`s role is a little bigger. :)
