Star Wars 7 Cast Revealed - 13 Actors Confirmed

John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow join stars from the original cast!

Nerds and geeks the world-over unite... Walt Disney Studios just dropped the biggest of breaking news on Facebook by announcing the full cast for Star Wars 7. Taken from the Facebook announcement (along with the photo above); Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams is returning as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015. Just take a second to breathe that in for a moment. As if a full reunion of the original cast wasn't enough, the modern-day titans of cinema rounding off the cast are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Not only are all the main players of the original trilogy returning for one last shot at the franchise that once made them immortal - thereby making the vibe on-set nothing short of a great big family-style BBQ - but we're also getting additional thematic heavyweights in the form of Andy Serkis, Oscar Isaac and Max Von Sydow, with what's looking like John Boyega as our leading man and Daisy Ridley as our leading lady. Star Wars Episode 7 is due for release December 18th, 2015 and will likely be one of the biggest films of the decade, or any decade for that matter. Needless to say the word 'hype' was invented for moments like this, so please get stuck into the comments and try your best to articulate 'OMG' into something more than just those letters - it's harder than you think!
