The cast ofStar Wars: Episode VII well, most of it has been announced.

Oh, and John Williams is doing the music again, becauseStar Warswouldnt beStar Warswithout John Williams.

Theyre experienced pros and bring with them reputations for, shall we say, a certain style of performance.

Von Sydows casting and whos not thrilled that hes in the film?

Maybe hell be something to do with trade agreements!

History has proven that everyone loves trade agreements.

Based on past Abrams films, expect a gold bikini to be involved.

So Whos Not There?

There are some names who are notable by their absence.

The latter four were linked to a role of a Jedi apprentice alongside Boyega.

That man can lift his legs).

Place your bets now on McDiarmid being announced as playing someone called Bob Notname in early 2015.

Abrams also, as demonstrated by his work in general, is capable of helping assemble a great cast.

Dont expect that to change too much until the preview screenings.
