5. Adam Driver's Character Will Be Related To Dooku
The Rumour: The website Making Star Wars is a group of dedicated Star Wars fanatics who claimed to have insider information on Episode VIIs production. The site contends that Adam Drivers character will be related to Christopher Lees villainous Count Dooku from the prequel trilogy. Likelihood: Somewhat Likely It seems to be a consensus that darling of the indie movie scene, Adam Driver, has been cast as a villain in The Force Awakens. Driver's character being kin to Dooku could have a bit of truth to it. It seems plausible that the makers of Episode VII would want to create connective tissue between the prequel trilogy and the latest Star Wars chapter. Count Dooku started out as a Jedi before being turned to the Dark Side. Jedis have a mandate not to procreate, but, given Dookus penchant for flaunting the Jedis rules, he very well could have unleashed the power of his libido to produce some heirs. The one thing keeping this rumour out of the very likely' column is a recent set photo leak from the website Star Wars 7 News of Driver in an X-Wing pilot outfit. Drivers character might be on the good guys side, which doesnt necessarily preclude him from being Dookus heir.
