cast of star wars episode 7
Star Wars news! The best kind of news in our opinion. Today sees the trailer for the hotly anticipated Star Wars Episode VII debut. Ever since Disney announced they had acquired the franchise’s rights from Lucasfilm and wanted to return audiences to a galaxy far, far away, we’ve been in a frenzy of excitement. Then it was announced that Star Trek‘s JJ Abrams was set to direct a spanking new trilogy set thirty years after the end of Return of the Jedi. And the original cast was returning with a host of exciting new faces. Star Wars: The Force Awakens will star Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong?o, Oscar Isaac and Daisy Ridley alongside Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.
What do you think? We’ll take whatever sci-fi fantasy crumbs we can get from JJ Abrams. Will the du-du-du-doo-du-du-doo-du-du of the Imperial March be imprinted on your brain until the movie’s release in December 2015.
