Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm today revealed that, as has long been expected, their Star Wars: Episode VII will begin production at London's historic Pinewood Studios in May. What's more, they've confirmed that the action in the sequel will be set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi and that the storyline follows "a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces."

The film's cast is expected to be announced shortly with "Girls" and Inside Llewyn Davis star Adam Driver heavily rumored to play the film's Darth Vader-like antagonist. Among the other actors rumored to be in contention are 12 Years a Slave's Lupita Nyong'o and quite a few young male stars.

Directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan, Star Wars: Episode VII is rumored to include appearances by Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford in older incarnations of their beloved characters from the original Star Wars trilogy. The film will hit theaters on December 18, 2015.

Wonder if Disney's just gonna say fukk the EU?

J.J. abrams give me some hope that this might not be trash

Hope it doesn't have the same cookie cutter clean cut vibe as literally every other live action thing to come out of Disney.

I have faith in JJ Abrams but Carrie Fisher needs to be kept far, far away from this. Also hate that George Lucas still has input.

That Old Republic storyline could be more interesting, though...

 

[OneManGang]

Did they throw the books in the bushes? They drawing material or gonna say they not canon? Also this has to be PG-13 right?

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Seems like its being rushed.

Like Spock in ST2, if Luke and Leia are on some new Jedi Council and/or Han is a old General that shows up for a couple of scenes I have no problem with it
