Or, in this case, any nerd with a remote.

I'm stoked though, being an r2builders member, glad to see the group, even in a small part, hit it big an get involved, officially.

these open casting calls dont fill me with much hope theres got to be decent enough actors out there already
i dont want the terrible acting thats in the first harry potter film (granted it got better over time) but thats all i can think of when open casting is mentioned *shudders*

Recent script rumors had already suggested this and there were some accounts that Hamill and Fisher were being assigned nutritionists and personal trainers. So nothing we didn't already suspect but there ya go...

Carrie Fisher confirms that Hamill, Ford and herself are back for more.

What about ol' smoothie, Billy Dee Williams?

EDIT: My mistake. Not official.

aw, man...it's not official unless it's announced by starwars.com/LFL/Disney. That's the 3rd or 4th time Fisher has said she's back.

This may not have anything to do with SW whatsoever, but if I was Disney, I'd announce Ford, Fisher, + Hamill during the Super Bowl.

Really?

Someone shut her up then!

good luck with that! I do appreciate her no-bullshit style, though...it's better than Ford's hemming, hawing, and stammering when asked if he's back.

Yeah, she's definitely a character.

I remember she was one of the judges on the short-lived On the Lot program (American Idol for filmmakers). Couldn't stand her constant abrasive sarcasm. I sincerely hope she dials that side of herself back for Episode 7.

And I think Ford is often so resistant to reveal things like that because he doesn't want the attention. He doesn't have that spotlight-ready celebrity persona like so many celebrities.

Mr. Hamill wasn't nearly as bold during his AMA chat on Reddit this evening.

Not a single, sincere word about Episode 7.
