Where you probably know the new cast from (because wow this cast is sensational):

John Boyega, bad ass lead in Attack the Block. He killed all the alien baddies, and acted the hell out of the movie. Really excited to get him.

Daisy Ridley. Fairly new face here. First real gripe of the casting list too. ONLY ONE FEMALE?

Adam Driver, you may know him as Lena Dunham's on screen boyfriend from Girls. Driver has long been rumored to be in this film, as the villain.

Oscar Isaac, Inside Llewyn Davis. Wonderful, maybe he will sing?

Andy Serkis. Playing Andy Serkis or using his skills at performance capture as some sort of Star Wars creature. Win, win either way.

Domhnall Gleeson, lead in About Time. Also seen in True Gritt, Dredd, Harry Potter he's great. This actor has a wide range of acting abilities.

Max von Sydow, you know who Max von Sydow is.

And, of course, the original trio.
