This was the news that was bound to break the internet, and I’m pretty sure, it came pretty darned close. I’ve never seen StarWars.com ever respond so slowly as I did when I tried to go to the site to see if this, this one thing could be the truth, or if I was just being teased.

But no. It’s real.

As officially announced above on StarWars.com, with an accompanying little blurb from Director JJ Abrams, the official cast is John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow who will be joining the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.

So thats Luke, Han, Leia, C3PO, Chewie and R2 all coming back. Maybe we’ll get a Lando cameo, but who knows.

Rumours had abounded today that there would be a first reading of the script... and now... well now we know it's happening.

Did this just get a bit more real for everyone else? I'm all tingly.
