Star Wars

We’re exactly one week away from Star Wars Day on May 4th, and it’s widely believed that an official announcement in regards to J.J. Abrams’ Episode VII will be made then.

Sources claim that Disney will hold off on a title reveal until this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, but with the cast mostly in place, fans are expecting to finally hear which actors will be making up the movie come 2015.

Talking of the cast, with Episode VII set to begin filming next month in London, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) have all been spotted in the capital this week!

Sporting a very Jedi-ish beard, Hamill was seen out and about London with Guardians of the Galaxy star Peter Serafinowicz, no stranger to the Star Wars franchise after he voiced Darth Maul in the controversial Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999.

While that was the first we’ve heard of Hamill being here, Fisher herself teased her presence in the UK. This perhaps shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, especially as the actress has previously confirmed her role in Star Wars Episode VII, despite the fact that her co-stars have remained tight lipped.

Harrison Ford – who isn’t a fan of Star Wars questions – has also been spotted in London (via Yahoo! Movies) just days ago outside of the Hakkasan restaurant.

So, they’re all here, and with Peter Mayhew and Billy Dee Williams both dropping out of other commitments lately, it definitely appears as if we’re in for quite a Star Wars reunion come December 18th, 2015. Who exactly will make up the rest of the cast remains to be seen…

How excited are you for a Star Wars Episode VII announcement?
