More On Star Wars: Episode VII Cast And Story - Possible Spoilers

So far what we know about the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII is nothing. It has been rumored and at this point we can pretty much say for sure that Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will reprise their roles of the original franchise, but not much more regarding cast and story. It has been said that the story would revolve around Luke, Han and Leia’s offspring, later it was said that Obi Wan would also have a son in the new story but nothing official.

Now a new piece of rumor comes via MarketSaw, which so far has a good record when it comes to Star War news, as they broke the news that Lucasfilm was developing a new Star Wars trilogy.

So regarding the cast here is what they say:

"Ian McDiarmid, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davies, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman. I believe Cumberbatch and Oldman were pursued for the same role, but I don't know how that will work out with the script changes, but I'm told they are both involved."

Here is their take on some of the troubles that occurred during pre-production:

"Many Star Wars pre-production issues, an 'inadequate' central story which nobody would stamp off on, a problematic initial release date and an 'indecisive' director (J.J. Abrams) with the hardest gig in the industry. It's not going to be a cakewalk, but it will be a product shipping with the majority of its original parts."

The blog then goes on to say:

"Ultimately it's about twins, and which will take a path towards darkness and which will follow in their father's footsteps, or at least that is what it used to be, that may come later as I think changes are being undertaken to bring the original cast into the forefront of the story leading to ramifications that lead up to the next generation of Skywalkers."

As always take this information with a grain of salt, since nothing has been confirmed and if we go by J.J. Abrams tendency at keeping as much as possible a secret, nothing will be confirmed until as close to the release date as possible.
