Star Wars cast announced

[Kwacky]

Original Star Wars actors Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will feature in Star Wars: Episode VII, the latest film in the franchise.

Other actors confirmed are Andy Serkis and Max von Sydow, alongside relative newcomers John Boyega and Daisy Ridley, both of whom are British.

Episode VII will start shooting at Pinewood Studios, near London, in May.

Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker will also return as C-3PO, Chewbacca and R2-D2 respectively.

R2D2 and C3P0 have to be in it, it's effectively their stories.

Not heard of the new faces apart from John Boyega who has been excellent in the TV dramas I've seen him in.

Didn't mind the early stuff but the new stuff stunk the place out, if its got the same kinda feeling as the original's it should be ok

[Monty]

Disney are involved so it could go either way.

I'm going to expect disappointment so I won't be disappointed.

I think the casting for Episodes 1-3 let them down more than anything. Anakin was very poor.

I agree


Considering Anakin was the heart of the story, both versions were very wooden indeed.

It was that bloody jar jar binks that did it for me, what a twunt

[Binno]

The whole thing had been tarnished. The new ones will be shite.

I'd still bang Carrie fisher now though.

You're out of luck, she's knocked the drugs on the head.

yes. And the guy that did anakin was crap. And the stories were shit. And the effects were too cartoony. And there was too mouch lovey dovey crap.

I liked the music though.

That sums it up for me, 3 kids films masquerading as Adult films. For the record jaja binks is my most hated sci Fi character ever, and I didn't see the other 2 films just because of that. Wtf was Lucas thinking?

Loads of new photos on that link.

I like the idea that they're using less CGI. It'll look more like the first film.

Someone has got a shot from the set which shows an X Wing and the Falcon.

[Deegee]

The Falcon only looks half finished - do we think it's fully functional like an incomplete Death Star?

[Kwacky]

Maybe they had to sell half of it to feed the kids?

[D6]

I can't believe he "accidentally got the photo" while taking photo's of another plane.

Real props are much better than CGI. CGI just never looks quite right.

[Frankie]

Someone (not me) knows where they are filming... and has been a naughty boy...

[Kwacky]

Ohh, nice. I'm 7 years old again with this new film coming out

[C00kiemonster]

And the new film title....

[D6]

Really? That pic looks fake. Or the white writing doesn't look right anyway. And its a crap name.

Should be;

"Star War: **** Yeah"
