    There won't be any cast announcements, or ANY announcements, until after MI5 releases.

    MI5 will be released on 31 July, if I'm correct. At least for me, that isn't a long wait. :)

    Filming does not start until 3 weeks. Edwards was at an even last night and confirmed it. Had a feeling that was fishy especially when they said "late Summer". So now we are looking at starting at the end of July. I expect more castings to leak in the next 3 weeks.

    I find it fascinating that they won't be allowed to announce casting before they begin filming. With three weeks to go, I would expect a lot more casting leaks to start springing soon.

    Maybe Tom Cruise is the male lead, thus creating greater possibility of confusion? ;)

    Yes, I've seen that but it only says that this story came from "sources".

    I was asking if this has been commented on by anyone official?

    It is a very bizarre story and, unless the movie studios believe the public to be idiots, it doesn't seem very likely. I think it is more likely to be simple attention grabbing by media sites to talk about anything Star Wars, especially since there was little likelihood of "promotional materials aimed at the general consumer" at that, this, stage.

    Knowing what we know now, what do you think?! Less than three months away. I have mixed feelings on Stormtroopers and AT-CTs invading beech setting.

    I think it looks amazing. Can't wait to see it. I don't think I've been this excited for a movie since... well, since last year I guess. :p

    I think it has the potential to be everything that fans dreamed of in the '80s. I'm curious and cautiously optimistic, and I think it'll almost be the anti-TFA in that it'll satisfy lore junkies much more than TFA did.

    Really?

    I fully expect people to say "Oh look, another prequel leaning on nostalgia with tie fighters and Darth Vader. How boring, these characters don't even use the Force! Why do I care about them if they aren't Skywalkers!"

    Obviously I don't feel that way but I can imagine the stupidity.

    I agree insofar as I can imagine the usual contrarians spouting that stuff. But people who were just genuinely disappointed with the lack of worldbuilding in TFA will hopefully get their fix.

    Saw Gerrera in the trailer: "The world is coming undone. Imperial flags reign across the galaxy".

    Reaction from some hardcore OOT purists I saw on Facebook: "But we never ever saw an Imperial flag in the OT, not even on the Death Star or the Executor. Not a single one. This movie is already contradicting the OT".

    I think it will be a modern paint by numbers action film in which archetypical opposites banter and each gets their own epic "moment". The emotional underpinning will be the Erso family drama similar maybe to films like ant-man. I think it could still be enjoyable depending on the execution though nothing that really sticks in your memory.

    I'd change that to "hardcore literalists". Those people are annoying all 'round.

    It would be difficult to have flags flying in space, seriously though we never saw an Imperial occupied civilization except for the moon of Endor which i'd say the Empire felt it didn't need to have displays of power...not for Ewoks.
