 What do a folk singer, a corrupted hobbit, and a perpetually naked Brooklynite have in common? Ladies and gentlemen, this is your new Star Wars cast. I'm David Pierce, and this is 90 Seconds on the Verge. Speculate no more. The cast of Star Wars Episode VII has officially been announced, and hey hey, the gang's all here. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2-D2, and C-3PO are all returning, all played by the original cast members. Those six will be joined by seven newcomers, so let's break it down. John Boyega, probably best known from Attack the Block. He'll also play a big role in the upcoming 24 revival, Live Another Day. Daisy Ridley, she's the newcomer here. Not a lot of IMDb credits at the moment. Adam Driver, who you can see in his entirety on HBO's Girls. Oscar Isaac, Mr. Lewin Davis himself. Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, King Kong, and Caesar from Planet of the Apes. Donal Gleeson, son of Brendan Gleeson, but more importantly, Bill Weasley in the last two Harry Potters. And rounding out the new cast is Max Von Cedo, a legendary actor who is in both Seventh Seal and The Exorcist, but more importantly was the voice of Viggo in Ghostbusters 2. But here's the big follow-up question. Who's everyone playing? Variety has long been reporting that Adam Driver will be the main villain for the film. The publication also says that Boyega will be a Jedi, and that Isaac will have a, quote, Han Solo look to him. And statistically speaking, there's a really good chance Serkis will be playing some kind of CGI creature with surprising emotional depth. Episode VII is set 30 years after the Return of the Jedi. Shoot it begins in May, but the movie won't hit theaters until December 18, 2015. For more on Star Wars, check out The Verge. Coming up, Zardoz II, the Glass Zardozery.
