After ages and ages of speculation, Lucasfilm, et al., has finally announced the cast for Star Wars: Episode VII — and yes, officially, original cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker will all be back. The new cast members include: Attack the Block’s John Boyega, relative newcomer Daisy Ridley, Girls’ Adam Driver, Inside Llewyn Davis’s Oscar Isaac, motion-capture star Andy Serkis, Anna Karenina’s Domhnall Gleeson, and the very famous Max von Sydow. Shooting begins in a few weeks, and the movie’s scheduled to open December 18, 2015. There’s still no official word on the plot of the movie, but … come on! The gang’s back together for real! That’s almost plot enough right there.
