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.

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

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

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

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