Star Wars 7 Cast: Predicting The Characters

3. Domhnall Gleeson As Ben Skywalker - Luke's Skywalker's Son

Gleason could play a mentor role to his cousin Jaina and her friend and be one of the few people Luke trusts more than anyone to investigate potential threats to his sister's republic and maintain peace to the galaxy.
