Prepare Yourselves For a Major Tremor in the Force!

The news could break at any time, so fasten your seat-belts - any moment now, we’ll be meeting the new cast of Star Wars.

Director J.J. Abrams is staging a big table reading of the script in London today, supposedly with the full cast – so some kind of official Disney press announcement should break between now and “Star Wars Day,” Sunday, May 4^th (May the Fourth be with You…).

The rumors have been stacking up like planes over LaGuardia, most recently that Inside Llewyn Davis star Oscar Isaac is up for a major role. Adam Driver from Girls has previously been mentioned, Attack the Block’s John Boyega, as well as Maisie Richardson-Sellers, an young actress from Oxford whose name remains prominent.

These new cast members will join original trilogy veterans Carrie Fisher, Mark Hammill and Harrison Ford. Some of the most recent buzz to leak out has it that Ford has a substantial role in the first film of this new trilogy, which unfolds thirty years after the events of Return of the Jedi. 

The big question on everyone's mind, will Disney announce the actual title, or will J.J. continue to keep us in suspense? We should know more very, very soon...
