Star Wars Cast Announced

so they lied lol they said they would annouce it sunday. wow

Not excited but nice casting

Finally!

I am officially hip. Now I can faint now. Great news.

Only name I recognised was Andy Serkis and obviously the original cast.

So cool!!

Max von Sydow has to be either the head of the Imperial Remnant (or whatever non-EU equivalent) or a Sith lord.

!!!!!!!!!

Same here, let's hope that Caesar/Godzilla/Gollum can pull this off

John Williams as composer is one of the most important castings in my opinion.

Not a hater... Can't wait!

Sweet! Totally excited for this!

John Boyega? That's fantastic, I love that guy.

You're not alone G-Man! I'm super pumped!

Max Von Sydow! I love him in old Bergman films.

I don't really know many of these names, but with some Googling, I'm excited for most of them.

More though, I'm excited that Kasdan did the script.

I hope this turns out well!

Where's Warwick Davis?!!??!?!

Max Von Sydow (Ming the Merciless!) Hmm Sith Lord maybe?

I love them all already... Going into this movie with 1999 Phantom Menace excitement but with Empire expectations!!!

No Alexandria Daddario..............I was hoping for a female lead jedi

Von Sydow is SO the villain.

Haha, actually I just recognised John Boyega too.

So excited that John Boyega got a role. Too bad Zac Efron didn't. That guy is more talented than he gets credit for and deserves a chance at a summer franchise film.

Hopefully Lando will at least cameo.

That would be sweet. My other side of the coin fear is that they'd use him as an Obi-Wan hologram replacement...I certainly hope that's not the case!

Yay!!!

I'm SO happy they cast 1970s furniture as well

This is about how excited I am.

Yus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so ridiculously excited to see Serkis.

Also, was I the only one who got a little sentimental by seeing R2 in the picture?

>feels

So cool. That Daisy Ridley looks so much like Natalie Portman on her imdb profile. But that's a good thing. And Max von Sydow? Very good choice for either villain or some old and wise Jedi master. I might have have liked Ian McKellen better, but then again he can't be in every movie franchise, right? (Although I wished he was)

Boyega, Isaac, Driver, and Serkis have me very excited.

Max von Sydow is an interesting choice! Adam Driver and Oscar Issac are among favorite new actors, highly recommend watching INside llewynn Davis (for Issac) and Girls for Driver. And hey watch the Seventh Seal for Sydow, he's might already have his Sith robes.

no idea who any of these people are. is that a good or bad thing?

@godofmischief: Yeah, me too, except for I also knew Max Von Sydow. But look out for Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson on the Ex Machina movie being made.

Yes!

And it begins!

more important than any of the other names.

Let The Force Begin!

I have no opinion on this one because I do not know any of these people and have never seen them in a movie or TV show.

Old cast is back...that is all I ever wanted!!!!

Max Von Sydow is still going huh, wow.

The only new names I recognized were Max von Sydow and Andy Serkis, but then I looked the other ones up and I was all, "oh, they were in that."

Yay for Oscar Isaac.

No complaints here... especially given that a significant proportion of the new actors are British!

You don't understand how excited I am… This is a phenomenal cast. All aboard the hype train!!!!! :D

@godofmischief said:

My thoughts exactly.

Still kinda 50-50 on the whole thing.

i'm interested.
