ST STAR WARS: EPISODE VII CAST ANNOUNCED

I am just speculating. I have no problem with Boyega being the star, I just figured that Han and Leia's kids would be the focus here.

 

for me, the color of the hero doesn't matter, the parentage does. Luke's kid, regardless of color, should be the lead to follow the Anakin-Luke dynamic.

 

Who knows. Maybe Han's son suffers from Vitilago.

 

What makes you think thier even be Solo Kids? All the Solo Kids talk is no offense EU fanboy wet dreams. Never once has anyone from the movie said the new trio would be related to the old trio. It just been fan speculation.

 

Chewie with a cane. What else?

 

Is that not rather like saying Ahmed Best was a major focal point of Episode 1?

In Lord of the Rings, Serkis played a central character, sure - but he was neither visible, nor obviously audible in the role. If he appeared on screen and nobody had looked at the credits for either film, I doubt they'd even know he was in any of the LOTR movies.

 

Wroshyr branch? sounds legit

 

That would be... like... reverse vitiglio.

 

Why would you assume the main characters are Solo kids?

 

Not too familiar with any of these actors.. but no complaints. And I don't mind if SW continues with the mostly white/ male cast.

 

OMG. What a cast. Im so happy about these choices. I cant believe presious/ ceaser is joining the team. Sadly no Lando.

 

true, I just assumed that the next saga would be about either Luke's or Solo's kids. If not, whatever, I am not married to this idea.

 

Ha! Good point, I haven't been able to get on to it at all. Was hoping we might get little intros with each one - probably too much to ask.

Very happy with the cast. So exciting.

 

Folks should not assume that Serkis is there to play a mo-cap CGI character.

 

Man, I step away for a couple hours, and 7SA bows up - and as usual, in light if the most AMAZING, Exciting day yet, people piss and moan and doomsay....

I for one will worry about who's playing whom (yes, even if the dreaded Red Plague or it's genetics or even Artsy Smurf show up) and just bask in the idea that what I thought was 'The END' (prequals notwithstanding) when I was still a youngling was only the beginning and once again, I get to see my HEROS (Mark, Carrie, Harrison and the rest)... play their beloved characters again - this time it'll be fascinating, because I'll be able to relate to them as 'aging adults' which is even more intriguing than it was back then....

 

O

 

Well, take a look at his resume, and then consider how many flavors of alien exist in the SW universe... seems like it's just putting two and two together.

 

So this is the primary cast. Makes me wonder whether Portman/Christensen/McGregor will have a minor appearance to tether this trilogy to the PT.

 

EU aside, the general impression is that the Star Wars saga is the story of the Skywalker clan (which includes both the Skywalker and Solo branches).

It's a reasonable assumption that the 'main series' movies would continue to follow the Skywalker clan, but the spinoffs would explore other facets of the galaxy.

 

Looks great. I'm really glad they're leaving the brushed-matte textures of TCW behind.

 

It's been many years since I posted on these boards. Back then I went under the name "JohnWilliamsFan8," back in the days when the NJO books were still new and we had hope that Episodes III would save the prequels.

I've been away for a long while now, but today's announcement has rekindled my fire. I'm immensely pleased with the cast they have assembled, and cannot wait to see what the next 17 months bring!
