UPDATE3! Another Possible Star Wars: Episode 7 Cast Announcement? No.


This is just a speculation, so keep that in mind. Remember how Disney/Lucasfilm presented all the characters from the new animated series Star Wars: Rebels? Yes, they leaked the stories of each character to a different site. Some people were really confused by this strategy because mostly all of the Star Wars news before were coming from the official site StarWars.com. Now what if the casting announcements for Star Wars: Episode 7 actually follows the same pattern…


The story from yesterday about Adam Driver, being cast as the main villain in Star Wars: Episode 7 was definitely intentionally leaked from Lucasfilm/Disney to Variety. Several other credible movie sites have also heard the rumors about Adam Driver being consider for the movie but Disney denied the rumors at that time. 

Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) February 26, 2014DISNEY on DRIVER in NOVEMBER: “We’re not going to comment on every whisper or rumor that comes in, but I wouldn’t go with that information.”


Nevertheless Variety got the green light to go on with the story.

Now who’s next? What about the guys at JediNews?

Here’s what Mark Newbold from JediNews posted on Twitter last week:

Another great day, something awesome coming to @JediNewsUK the end of next week, more info to follow.

@NigeYC @JediNewsUK All I am allowed to say is be on @JediNewsUK 6am PST (4pm GMT) Friday 28th February.

Later Justin fromJediNews also posted this:

Cannot wait to publish my first “Confirmed” #StarWarsVII human casting post…
— Justin LaSalata (@JustinL81) February 27, 2014


So what if JediNews is the next site who has some intentionally leaked cast announcements about Star Wars: Episode 7?

star wars


Here’s one of their latest posts: (source JediNews)

This Friday on RebelForce Radio, actor Topher Grace (That 70s Show) is our special guest and he makes an exclusive announcement on the show that will be of interest to Star Wars fans.


Topher Grace is a great actor and he is pretty famous with his passion for Star Wars.

The speculations about Topher Grace being cast as Luke in Episode 7 were quickly spread around the web. I’m not sure about this. Remember the rumor we posted 2 days ago about a young actor who was offered the role of one of the Big Four? Well, it was indeed about Luke but the name of the actor we heard was different. So stay tuned to find out if we would be getting our second casting announcement for the week tomorrow.

UPDATE! 

(28.02.2014)
According to Jason Ward from MakingStarWars, they could probably announce Topher Grace as a voice actor for Star Wars: Rebels. So far all of the actors voicing major characters from the show have been revealed except for The Inquisitor. And Grace is no stranger to playing villains.

@antbwan23 @starwars7news I’d bet on him being a voice in Rebels way before that.
— Jason Ward (@MakingStarWars) February 28, 2014

So this also sounds plausible but it doesn’t explain Justin’s tweet about Jedi News publishing their first confirmed human casting for Star Wars: Episode7. But then again he used quotation marks with “Confirmed” so it could go both ways. 

Well at least we won’t wait much for that announcement. We’ll find out today.

star wars

UPDATE 2!

The announcement is happening in 1 hour. Also here’s another interesting tweet from Theory 11.

Posted @Nerdist: @Bad_Robot and @theory11 will reveal contents of #MysteryBox. http://t.co/qOMHkOmgHh http://t.co/CGBgChMSy6
— theory11 (@theory11) February 28, 2014

I wonder if this is Star Wars related too. This will also happen in just one hour. Something is definitely happening. 

They’ve just announced playing cards. 🙂

See it here.

UPDATE 3!

So the announcement is that Topher Grace is releasing a trailer for his 85 minute edit of the Prequel Trilogy. I won’t post a link to it. JediNews really used that well. Another disappointment for the fans. All they had to do was clarifying that this is not Ep.VII related.

    That’s weird. So wtf aged Luke will he be playing? Young (some flashback scene), middle aged (another back-in-time scene)? He can’t be playing the properly aged Luke if Mark Hamill is in it. Yes, it sure does seem like we are all in for some surprises.

    I’d rather they not use flashback scenes, but oh well, wtf can you do about it, right? They are going to film what they want so whatever…

      I personally don’t think they’re going to bring in Mark Hamill. I think it’s a good rumor to spread in order to have time to do the actual casting. Many reasons for it…
      – First, no offense to the actor, but judging on his imdb profile, he doesn’t seem to be a great fit (physically) to be the Grand Jedi Master. Even if they are not following the EU, I would expect Luke to still be in a great shape. (Based on his actions and the slowing down of the aging process by the exposure to the Force, he feels more like an early forty type of guy.)
      – Second, Disney plans to use the SW franchise to do many movies! That means at least 5 or 6 movies I presume. (well unless they choke after the first one which I doubt) Considering one movie every year or two years, the actor will be 75 years old… I don’t think that’s such a good plan.

      And yeah I know, how about Harrison Ford? Gosh that’s such a hard question. Joker on that one!

    Well, I’m just thinking, what if all this younger actors are used to brief us about the trio’s life after ROTJ?
    It’d help the new audience be familiar with the characters, understand their importance, and at the same time maybe foreshadow or set plot-points.
    It wouldn’t be /all/ of the movie, and we wouldn’t need any flashback or time-travel. We’d get backstory and the original trio. I mean, it wouldn’t be too devastating, right?

    I was just thinking today… what if?
    What if the sequel trilogy was made first instead of the prequel trilogy?
    George Lucas should have made the sequel trilogy first back in 1999 when the original cast were all still quite young enough and able (ie. Peter Mayhew).
    Then the story could have easily been set only 20 years after JEDI and even if the main characters did have kids then the siblings would probably be in their late teens.

    Shame, what could have been?
    Instead George fucked it up and chose to make the prequels first.

    • February 28, 2014 at 12:10 am
      Permalink

      I don’t think he fucked up making the prequels first. There was a tremendous amount of potential for those films to be great. He fucked up not letting others direct and help write, especially dialogue. But, initially, if you can remember back then, it seemed like a great idea to have Lucas in full control. No one realized then that he had been away from directing for so long, he lost his ability and touch with making great films.

      I agree- it would have been great to have had Luke, Han and Leia in their 40’s and still looking much the same for 1990’s era sequels. Anyway, it won’t happen now. I would still much prefer an old wise original cast than recasting with different actors yuck no thanks.

      Wrong. The prequels were a learning curve, to give us a chance to see how bad things could turn out if a director decides to rely too heavily on cgi and what not. I am glad Lucas got his itch out of the way with the prequels and now we can get back to business with good story telling and more realistic visuals. I don’t want Luke walking through the middle of a cartoon, which is what would have happened if it was filmed back in 98′.

      Interesting line of conversation! Hindsight is 20-20, either way. Would there be anticipation for prequels after sequels were made, really, instead? The concept of a “foregone conclusion”, knowing who will and won’t die from the start, was unavoidable.

    We should have gotten Luke Skywalker in his 40’s. Mark Hamill was fit & young looking for years & years, right into his late 40’s he could have picked it right back up.

    Are we REALLY going to buy the notion that they’re recasting the original trio with younger actors? I could see Topher Grace as Luke’s son, but as Luke? He doesn’t look much older than Luke did in ROTJ, and he sure doesn’t look enough like Mark Hamill for it to not be profoundly distracting to the audience to cast him as Luke.

    If there’s anything to this, it’s got to be some sort of flashback or holocron sort of thing, and not a full-on recasting.

    All this is just speculation at the moment but a possible scenario might be that the first part of Episode 7 might show us a “catch-up” of events following JEDI, maybe with a young Luke involved in a plot point that has repurcusions 30 or so years later. Then we move foward and pick up the story with Hamill, Ford and Fisher. Similar to the first 15 minutes of Last Crusade. It would feel strange for Star Wars true, but still better than a total recast. This may explain the rumours of Leia also been recast as well. I think if Hamill, Fisher and Ford were out then certainly Hamill and Fisher would have gone public by now talking about their disappointment (they would have no need for secrecy if they had been dropped) Their silence to me is encouraging in that case.

      hmm, I cannot see the point of flashbacks. If the empire is still the main threat then the story can just pick up and it won’t have to explain anything. If the threat is all new then I presume it will start out all fine and dandy, and then the threat is introduced, rather than something having gone wrong 30 years ago and the story is starting 30 years later.. It would just seem so weird. I hope this makes sense haha

      Of course, in Star Trek 2009, there were no flashbacks, it was a progression of time. Though that is an interesting point about a new threat, a plot hole (fixed in a deleted scene, but still) in that film was that the bad guys just twiddled their thumbs for decades.

    I think this is especially likely because of Ben. We don’t have to explain Han and Leia having kids, its presumed possible, but luke having a kid is like “whoa” where did that come from. It might require either what you describe above or flashbacks. This has too much emotional content for scrolling text at the opening of the film.

    I just have read all title books in Topher’s web to find something from EVII. I found nothing. Only a Hoverboard and a Predator Skull are interesting. LOOOOOL

      I just noticed from your post episode 7 almost spells EVIL when written out that way…instant commercial hook to have it fade from EVII to EVIL and forshadow the sith or some jazz. I’m a marketing genius!

    Maybe Topher shouldn’t have a counter counting down to the next big thing if there won’t be anything happening when it reaches ZERO. Makes me feel like John Locke.

      Pretty sure they made a mistake with the PST time conversion. GMT at 4pm is 8am in PST. Which is in half an hour.

      Well he is the director of episode 7 and jedi news was also announcing something at the same time. So there was definitely some substance that it could be something.

    Why do all these sites jump when JJ does something. He has way more than Star Wars going on. The Star Wars stuff will be announced.

      Well exactly, you said it yourself, star wars stuff will be announced soon. Any day now. So therefore people are going to look into announcements from JJ.. This is pretty simple logic.

  • February 28, 2014 at 4:12 pm

    Thinking that they are going to abandon their very long running tradition of announcing everyone at once, is just wishful thinking. Anyone remember that C-3PO thing people thought was an announcement? Media are just capitalizing on the absence of official news. This would make more sense if the announcement was about Rebels.

    If anything JJ is capitalizing on the lack of official announcements knowing very well that anything with his name on it gets the attention of Star Wars fans.

    Reading the comments, I can’t believe you guys were psyched like that.

    They announce everyone at once. That is tradition. It provides security for inexperienced actors, via the presence of established ones, as it always has. The real surprises will probably be IN THE MOVIE, or more accurately, hidden foreshadowing for twists in later films.

    Actually this is even worse really. He’s not even releasing it. It’s just the trailer for his movie. He has no plans that I can see from the article to release the 85 minute movie. Which is a shame as it’s likely way better than the prequels.

      Why do all these cynical angry fanboys think that speculation is being classed as ‘ANOTHER HUGE ANNOUNCMENT’? All this site did was notice that something was going to be announced and let us know about it and that it could potentially be about episode 7.. Which is very helpful indeed, I mean what if it was about episode 7? I’d like to know about it wouldn’t you? Calm the fuck down. But yes that’s right. puke on your own ignorance.

    “So the announcement is that Topher Grace is releasing his 85 minute edit of the Prequel Trilogy. “

    No he isn’t. He has no intention of releasing the edit.

    If you are accusing Jedinews of falsely getting people’s hopes up, you shouldn’t falsely be getting people’s hopes up.
