Names enter the rumour mill and are, for the most part, spat out quickly while fanboy dreams crumble around them and until now we’ve had a few hints from the Expanded Universe, as well as what logically could happen, as to who will be the focus of the eagerly awaited next trilogy.
Now Monsieur Connelly over at Bleeding Cool claims to have 100% confirmed the character profiles the Star Wars Episode VII casting is going by. We know that the holy trinity of Ford, Fisher and Hamill are more than likely to be coming back but they should be joined by whoever fits the appropriate criteria below.
- Late-teen female, independent, good sense of humour, fit.
- Young twenty-something male, witty and smart, fit but not traditionally good looking.
- A late twentysomething male, fit, handsome and confident.
- Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’t need to be particularly fit.
- A second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and fit.
- Forty something male, fit, military type.
- Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.
So read into that what you will, it doesn’t give much away and if we are following the rumours that Rhys Meyers is still being considered then the last description on the list would be a good fit, and I think he’d look great in Jedi robes. I can’t see anything there which would indicate that the Solo twins are being sought but of course this is still an unconfirmed rumour so speculate away you keen speculators.
