Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."

Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

Who else besides me is excited?

Not a big Star Wars fan but the casting is pretty good. Makes me somewhat more excited for this.

I withhold all judgment until I see what roles they are playing.

This is a fair question; the man has been involved in a lot of important fantasy & sci-fi films over the last 4 decades or more.

Lastly, it seems a bit odd for anyone to show up on a thread specifically designed for Star Wars (name in title et al) and be completely blase about it. It might be warranted if one were upset with the direction the last few films took and were issuing a cry for improvement. Going out of one's way to be indifferent though indicates that one isn't truly emotionally neutral.

I know, right? It's like "let me prove how much I don't care about this topic by bothering to make this post".

I just simply dig Star Wars, so I'm excited just that they actually got the original cast members.

I feel like a kid again so hyped :) I have good hopes that Abrams will deliver, after watching as a non Star Trek fan his movies.

I don't know who any of these people are so I can't comment on their acting.

I was hoping to see a bit more diversity in this movie...oh well...
