I didn’t want to post any Star Wars related rumors, until I knew what was happening, then about 24 minutes ago this image, of the entire cast of Star Wars VII floated across my Facebook feed, along with an official statement from Lucas Films. Yes, it’s officially started and I am thrilled with some of the casting choices. A lot of these new comers will be given a once in a lifetime chance to carve their own niche in this beloved fantasy. Now, if J.J. could’ve just remembered to tag these images. Arghhhh!!
