“Star Wars Episode VII” officially adds Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie joins…

JJ Abrams, “Star Wars 7” adds two more to the cast. It is no surprise that “12 Years A Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o was gonna get added because she has been rumored for a long time now and it’s finally official that she’s definitely in! “Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie who is known for her role as Brienne Maid of Tarth have also been added to “Star Wars 7”.

As you can see, the roles of the new cast are being kept secret for now but we’ll learn more later.

I am assuming though, that Lupita is gonna be the main female lead and she will probably steal the show. JJ is well known for creating interesting female characters and he’ll probably do that with Lupita. Is she gonna be a Jedi being mentored by Luke Skywalker? Wouldn’t surprise me if she’ll be the one with the light saber fighting Adam Driver’s villain character.

Star Wars 7 just started filming at Pinewood Studios in London…

As you can see filming for Star Wars 7 have finally begun!!! Also, notice how they are very careful at not revealing too much info with these photos. I’m almost positive that JJ does not allow the cast and crew to take photos and videos so mobile phones and other devices are not allowed in the studios so I don’t think you’re gonna see too much leaked photos of filming.

Only the official Star Wars page will reveal a little bit at a time. They’re still secretive on the “subtitle” too. I’m sure the subtitle is written on that clapboard in the first photo but as you can see, they wouldn’t show the whole thing.

I pray they do a good job with the film.

Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia shows off recent selfie…

Carrie Fisher just dropped this selfie pic of herself on twitter. She’s still in London filming “Star Wars Episode VII”??? Probably. As you can see she’s showing off a little cleavage and she has the big boobs.

After seeing this pic, they’ll definitely make Princess Leia hot and sexy again for “Star Wars VII”. Will she wear the bikini again to thrill the fans???

She does look a little different now than she did in the past. Did she get a little plastic surgery work done on her face over the years, though?

She’s still looking beautiful, though, don’t get me wrong.

“Star Wars Episode VII” cast revealed!!! Harrison, Mark and Carrie finally confirmed!!!

JJ just released this photo today surprisingly. Here is the new cast doing a table reading in London.

As you can see there is a mix of veterans and newbies in the cast.

The veterans seated are: Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C3Po), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Kenny Baker (RSD2).

The newbies are: Oscar Isaac (“Inside Llewyn Davis”), Adam Driver (“Girls”), John Boyega (“Attack the Block”), Daisy Ridley, (“Blue Season”) and Domhnall Gleeson (“About Time”)

Look like Jesse Plemons and Lupita Nyong’o didn’t make the cut.

Since they just revealed the cast officially today… I’m assuming May the 4th this Sunday, they will reveal the “title” and the “plot”???

Carrie Fisher maybe looking different these days since she is older and gained some weight over the years but I’m sure they will find ways to get her to look like Princess Leia again. I remember Princess Leia was freakin’ hot in the original trilogy. With makeup, costumes, and hair stylists… they’ll make Princess Leia beautiful again. Carrie Fisher still is beautiful, though. Carrie is seated on the right, sitting next to Peter the Chewbacca actor. You can see Mark talking to an old guy with white hair. Harrison sitting next to JJ, of course.

Please don’t mess it up, JJ!!! Please!

More on “Star Wars 7″…

I wonder how long Harrison, Carrie and Mark will appear in “Star Wars 7” for? Are they just cameos or they’re just part of the leading roles? Or what? I hope Han, Leia and Luke won’t be just small roles. I wanna see Han and Luke in action again. Han and Chewie back to flying the Milennium Falcon. Luke in more amazing lightsaber battles. I’m sure we’ll get all that. 🙂 I’m sure the Empire hasn’t gone away yet. I also wouldn’t rule out the return of Boba Fett ’cause he may still be alive, ya never know… the same goes for Master Palpatine. Darth Vader woudn’t return ’cause it wouldn’t make any sense. Adam Driver’s villain character will probably be the new Darth character.

The new film will focus on new young leads and I’m pretty sure that Jesse Plemons and Lupita Nyong’o  will end up being the new Jedi hopefuls and I’m sure we’ll see those two in action too.

Will we see the return of Lando? It’s pretty unlikely ’cause I haven’t seen any news of Billy Dee Williams in London and looking at his twitter page, he’s busy doing other projects so it’s looking like Lando won’t be in this one. Still though, never say never on Lando… don’t rule him out yet either. They still got long ways a way for filming “Star Wars 7” so maybe they could use Lando sometime in the future?

This Star Wars could be very interesting. I’m still skeptical ’cause of what JJ did to “Star Trek Into Darkness” so hope they do a good job with “Star Wars 7” and hope they don’t let us down.

I’m hoping “Star Wars 7” won’t be a a short movie either. It should be a long 2 and a half hours. May the 4th is this coming Sunday and I’m sure we’ll know everything then.

I’m sure when “Star Wars 7” hits theater, it’s going to be a box office smash so the theaters will probably be packed for a long while. I’m sure people will be camping out on opening night too.

I am somewhat skeptical and excited at the same time, though. I know weird. That’s what Star Wars does to ya. I like Star Wars, sure. I’m more of a “Star Trek” fan than “Star Wars”, though.

I’m looking forward to May 4th. That’s gonna be a big day and social media will be all over it.

Carrie Fisher appears to be in London too… hmmmm…

Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) tweeted that on her twitter page. Is that a hint that she’s in London filming “Star Wars Episode VII” along with Mark and Harrison? What a tease…

What I hope for in “Star Wars 7″…

Like most Star Wars fans, I too am hoping they make “Star Wars 7” a really good film. I’m still a little skeptical of JJ directing/writing it due to the disaster of “Star Trek Into Darkness” but since Lawrence Kasdan helped JJ with the writing… maybe that will help. I’m hoping the film will be pretty dark and intense. Sort of like, “Empire Strike Back”. In my opinion, I think “Empire Strike Back” was the best Star Wars film. “Star Wars 7” will probably end up being an introduction of a new trilogy. Introducing a new plot and new characters. I’m sure the Empire will still be around after 30 years of the events of Vader/Palpatine in “Return of the Jedi”.

In JJ’s Star Wars, I’m sure everything might be a little different than what George Lucas have done to them. I’m sure JJ will have some of George Lucas’s style in the new film but I’m also sure JJ will have some of his own style in it as well. There will probably be new spaceships for the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. I’m sure we’ll have different laser effects for the laser guns on spaceships and hand weapons. I’m also sure the Jedi lightsabers will be different than Lucas’s version. I’m sure there will still be stormtroopers but JJ will for sure give the stormtroopers a new armor and new design.

Keep in mind that the new trilogy will be taken place 30 years after the original trilogy so there’s probably gonna be all new technology in the film. With today’s technology in film making, everything’s gonna be different.

I think I know why they had to set “Star Wars Episode 7” 30 years after “Return of the Jedi”. I mean, think about it, right? It helps explains the aging of Han, Leia and Luke since Harrison, Carrie, and Mark are older now. So there’s definitely a 100% chance that they are in.

I’m sure “Star Wars 7” will keep the opening Star Wars crawl with the three paragraphs crawling into space with the main theme playing. I’m sure John Williams will kill it with the score for the rest of the movie.

I hope this film will be action-packed. It probably will be. I also hope this film will have the same feeling as the original trilogy totally ignoring the prequels.

We had to suffer through three bad prequels thanks to George Lucas so Star Wars needs to be GREAT again. I pray they do a good job with this one.

I have no idea what the plot is going to be yet but since this is focused on younger characters and Adam Driver’s villain character will be similar to Darth Vader, I think I might be figuring it out a little bit. I think what the plot may be is that after the events of Vader/Palpatine in the last film, there is still Empire around and they vow to get revenge at Luke Skywalker. Adam Driver’s villain character (who ever that may be) is desperate to find Luke (that’s why Hammill have to be back) and wants to destroy Luke after what he did to Vader/Palpatine. The Empire is still after Luke (who would be a Jedi by now) in the film so he has other young Jedi hopefuls to help him and protect him.

Only thing though, we had this helping to train young kids hoping to be Jedi’s plot too many times. They had that plot idea in the original trilogy and in the prequels so no need to rehash that idea again. I think it’s preferably that the kids are already Jedi’s. That would make it more interesting. Young Jedi’s help fight off the Empire with Luke’s help.

Will there be a new death star in the film? Possibly but the Rebel Alliance will want to destroy the death star again so no need to rehash that plot idea as well.

In the new film, I’m sure we’ll get plenty of space battles and lightsaber combat. They’ll make the film exciting and fun, I hope.

Every time I go see a Star Wars film, the audience will stand up and cheer a lot. We need to feel that with this film so hopefully they give us a reason to stand up and cheer again.

Will Ben Kenobi the ghost come back in this one? I’m not sure… it’s going to be hard to get Sir Alec Guiness’s voice-overs but I’m sure they’ll figure something out. They’ll give Ben Kenobi a cameo of some sort. Yoda will probably return but as a ghost this time.

It’ll be interesting to see how they pull this off. As you know, JJ Abrams is obsessed with secrecy. He is secretive with all of his projects and he’ll do the same with Star Wars. Reveal a little bit at a time. Once again, I pray they do a good job. I wanna like Star Wars again ’cause I haven’t been liking it for a long while.

Report: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher finally in negotiations for “Star Wars 7” but what about Lando???

All three of them has reportedly said, they were willing to return to their roles for the next, “Star Wars” film, but none of them have signed contracts yet. Look like they are finally getting close to a deal ’cause anonymous sources say, the three cast members are in negotiations to reprise their roles.

While it’s exciting news that Han, Leia, and Luke are returning but what about Lando? So far, Billy Dee Williams have been silent about the new Star Wars. We haven’t heard anything from him. So far, Disney/Lucasfilm haven’t even asked, Billy Dee. So I’m hoping, Lando, will come back being played by the same actor. If they don’t get Lando at all, I expect the Star Wars geeks to start online petitions. I hope they don’t ignore Lando, ’cause he was a cool character.

I know a lot of people are skeptical of JJ doing Star Wars, but I think he’ll do it justice. I hope the new movies will still have the same vibe of the original trilogy, but of course, it will also have a current feel with today’s technology.

I’m actually looking forward to seeing how they’re gonna pull this off. It’s pretty intriguing to me.

Report: Carrie Fisher says she’s game for Star Wars return, but no confirmation from Lucasfilm yet…

Carrie Fisher, had an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, and of course, they couldn’t resist asking if she would reprise her role as Princess Leia for, “Star Wars 7”. She replied back with a simple, “Yes”. That was it. So Entertainment Weekly, contacted Lucasfilm themselves, and the folks at Lucasfilm said that they haven’t even started casting yet. I expect the casting to start pretty soon, though.

I don’t know how they are going to pull off Princess Leia in the new, Star Wars. Carrie Fisher used to be beautiful and gorgeous in her younger years, but now look at her. Carrie looks way different today. I’m sure she still has what it takes to play Princess Leia just fine, but she may look a little bit different. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me that Lucasfilm will try to make Carrie look younger and beautiful with the power of make up effects, and computerized air brushing. They can easily make her the beautiful Princess still, but she will be a little older.

Will Leia be married to Han Solo and they have a few kids together? Luke will mentor those kids and train them to be Jedi’s? I’m sure that’s the plot they’re going for, but I hope they’ll have  more of a story than that, honestly, I think mentors training the younger generations in fictional movies is getting old. They already have the same idea with, Ghostbusters 3.

See the story at, Entertainment Weekly.

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher to reprise their roles as Luke and Leia for “Star Wars 7”??? Seems so…

Before the Disney and Lucasfilm merging, George Lucas, contacted none other than Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher first before everyone else got to know about Lucas’s plans. George didn’t really ask them to come back as Luke and Leia, he just wanted to give them the news first that they were going to go on to make, “Star Wars 7, 8, and 9”. Why did George give the news first to Mark and Carrie? Probably because the next trilogy will be written for Luke and Leia to return, and George wanted to get their blessing.

Just like most of us Star Wars fans, even Mark Hamill has mixed feelings on the Disney/Lucasfilm team up. Will Luke and Leia return for the next film? It wouldn’t surprise me, if “Star Wars 7” will be written for them to return.

If they are coming back, I hope they get Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Billy Dee Williams back as cameos. I think it’ll be cool, if they continue the story of, Luke Skywalker. I hope that’s what they’re going for.
