Star Wars Episode 7 To Continue Unknown Actor Tradition With Maisie Richardson-Sellers?
Maisie Richardson-Sellers’ name has become major news in the movie industry just by being linked to the Star Wars Episode 7 cast. And if LucasFilm – now owned by Disney – decide to keep their ‘unknown actor’ tradition alive, Richardson-Sellers will go from relative unknown to household name within seconds.
All but confirmed to return are Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and droids C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), with Adam Driver – of Girls fame – set to fulfil a villainous role. Again, that’s not been confirmed, but multiple sources suggest any confirmation is just a formality.
Penned by director Jj Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt, the story for Star Wars Episode VII will take place 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi. It is scheduled for release on December 18, 2015.
