The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.

Director J.J. Abrams says, "We are so excited to finally share the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again. We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."

Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

This was announced nearly a year ago, but it's still great news! I wonder to what extent he'll tie his original trilogy themes into it and how the new themes will play!

Poor Jim. There's no sarcasm like Nordic sarcasm!

Jim Bailey I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we already have a thread to discuss this score:

http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=96000&forumID=1&archive=0

Williams was announced and confirmed a long time ago now.

Perhaps this thread should be merged into the existing thread, or just closed?

Odd to read an article about a new Star Wars movie without the name George Lucas being mentioned.

And was anyone expecting a composer other than John Williams? lol

Yes. Many were expecting Giacchino to get it since Abrams was directing. Also, even if it was an inevitability that they would try to get Williams, there was no guarantee that he'd be interesting in returning to the property under new leadership.

One article I read today said Harrison Ford's role is expected to be quite significant. If true, we could finally get a theme for Han^^

And here's the correct link to the announcement on starwars.com:

Han had a theme. How many times does the “love theme” get played for Han and how many times for Han and Leia? Heck, it introduces him in ESB.

I meant a theme specifically for his character as opposed to a theme for a relationship.
That love theme, while one of my favorites, doesn't try to define the awesomeness that is Han Solo.

Since it’s the internet, I’ll argue with you. smile I think as used when Luke talks to Han on his comlink (at the beginning of ESB), when the Falcon detaches from the Star Destroyer, and of course The Asteroid Field totally sum up the awesomeness that is Han Solo.

But sure, a new theme for a man thirty some years older would be appropriate.

I'm sure we'll get a whole lot of new themes.

I wish they'd have gotten the guy who did the original Star Wars, Captain What's-his-name

That's why "The Asteroid Field" was written.

I can't ever imagine arguing the lack of or presence of a theme for Han with anyone in person^^.
I just long for a specific theme for Han as iconic and memorable as Williams' themes for Darth, Luke, Indiana, and Superman, etc. I know there's a parallel universe out there where such a theme exists. If I ever invent a parallel universe machine, that's the first universe I'll visit, and I'll probably never leave. And I'll take you with me.
