Fun to see Adam Driver here.
Few years ago Len Dunham sounded extremely proud when she was saying she'd never seen any of the star wars movies.

The rest of the cast is definitely stellar (seewhatadid).

So, no Lupita? That's too bad. Altough it's still some sausage fest for now (except Carrie F.), so maybe they'll come up with some MAJOR female characters soon…

No Jar Jar Binks? There's still hope, right?

Cool news, especially Serkis and von Sydow. And the photo of the reading is really kind of awesome!

Lucas really went above and beyond to destroy the legacy of this franchise. First with those horrendous cgi edits to the originals, then with the miserable prequel trilogy. It's going to be very hard to redeem the series. Possible? Perhaps… likely… no.

Soon enough Driver will run from "Girls" as a plague. And rightfully so.

This will probably hit Deadline tomorrow, but fyi: Boyega is playing Jarko Calrissian, an ousted Bespin diplomat and relative of Lando.

Driver and Isaac will be the ones I'm watching. Too bad Lupita wasn't cast. With just one new female role, I would have preferred an actress with more presence, so she could hold her own in this sausage-fest.

After all that hoopla about diversity they end up with a non-diverse cast? I mean why say it's gonna be a diverse cast if the best you can do is throw a token black guy in there? Like for real. I was expecting an Indian or Korean or something "diverse" to be part of the cast. I wouldn't have had these expectation if they hadn't claimed to be casting diversity to represent the current times.

"Overwhelmed by all the support. This is the greatest day of my life. I'm told I can't say who I'm playing yet, but it's exciting!!", Ridley tweeted.

Very excited to see John Boyega here. He turned in an excellent performance in the wonderful Attack the Block.

"Instead, we're looking at a lot of names that the trades have already reportedâOscar Isaac, John Boyega, Peter Mayhew, and of course, the returning trio of Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher"

Peter Mayhew is 'returning' too.
It's attitudes like that that meant he didn't get a medal after the Battle of Yavin.
