Rumor: Oscar Isaac’s Episode 7 Role to be Expanded?
The latest round of Episode VII rumors bring us this tidbit about possible contingency plans to address Harrison Ford’s injury and its effect on the production.
From the New York Post’s Page Six:
With Harrison Ford temporarily out of commission on the set of J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated “Star Wars: Episode VII,” Hollywood sources say that star Oscar Isaac’s role in the movie is being expanded.
Details of Isaac’s role have been kept strictly secret — but there’s speculation he plays a descendant or even the son of Ford’s Han Solo character, who has “an especially large role.” But after Ford was injured on the sci-fi epic’s set, spies say Isaac’s part is now being extended as a Plan B.
“They are now beefing up Oscar’s role to be bigger with Harrison injured,” said a source familiar with the project that’s currently shooting at London’s Pinewood Studios.
Take this with the usual caveats, of course. Some of the initial sources reporting this (for example, the Daily Mail) are tabloids that are also still running with the rumor that Tom Cruise is going to be in Episode VII. Plus, the notion that Isaac’s role is being beefed up in response to Ford’s absence runs directly counter to the “no new pages” line from the alleged internal LFL memo that circulated a few days ago.
Bear in mind, too, that the rumor about Isaac’s expanded role seems to be predicated upon the idea that Ford will be out of commission for something closer to six months rather than the six to eight week estimate that we continue to hear from official sources.
From this same article, we also have this:
Another “Star Wars” source told us: “Shutting down the movie is impossible,” and, “The basic story line will not change that much.” The source said no characters were being dramatically expanded, but “the order of filming scenes could be shifted” to work around Ford’s absence.
All of which brings us back around to very familiar ground where Episode VII is concerned – as always, we just don’t know for sure. The production itself continues to be as tight-lipped about the situation with Harrison Ford and what, if anything, his being out of action means to the film. With any luck, Ford is already on the mend and no major changes will need to be made to the screenplay.
If, however, this latest rumor turns out to be accurate and Oscar Isaac’s role is indeed going to be expanded, let’s hope that the changes to the script can be made in a way that adds to the story and doesn’t just look like an obvious quick fix.
They can shoot close ups and scenes with Harrison sitting. It is the action scenes where they need him in a medium shot will have to be delayed.
Oscar as Han and Leia’s son? .. So did they knock out a kid the moment return of the Jedi ended then? Not very believable. Plus he isn’t even the same race as Leia/Han. He is Guatemalan. And if he is their son then presumably he is in the main trio but that would be completely stupid as it’s a clear rip off of Han’s character, being a Solo, and the clearly older one. Talk about a rehash.. I think he is playing a villain tbh. I’m not sure he even auditioned I think he said JJ just met with him and asked him to play a part. Sounds much more like a Tarkin role than a Han Solo role.
Don’t believe these rumors. These are all false flags just to throw us movie fans off course of what is really going to happen in the movie. It’s even possible that Daisy Ridley really isn’t the daughter of Han. She might really be a Jedi or Sith or something. Hans son/daughter is mostly someone we never even heard of or seen yet. Many do know that there are other actors/actresses in this movie no one has seen yet because of heavy security. A movie of this magnitude is going to have a ton of false flags. The only things we know for sure is Fords injury and a giant pig who is in only 2 scenes. Something really big is coming in surprise for us.
Definitely not true that they would alter the character just because of Harrison’s injury. I’d bet they are just going to rearrange the shoots to suite the indoor productions better in Ford’s absence.
I do a lot of music recording, if a musician can’t make it that’s needed for certain parts of a live recording, it’s always fine to just switch to other songs or do a work around of some sort. I’d imagine film production works the same way… the sets have probably been built or at least enough to supplement for other scenes until Harrison gets back.
I hope he’s doing better… feel bad for him being stuck in that wheelchair while everyone else is having fun in London.
Sigh, he’s no relation to Han. [Spoiler Caution] Han hires him as shipmate in place of Chewie’s absence. Isaac’s character falls for Han and Leia’s daughter (DR).
I hope you are right. Just from looking at their pictures they have a chemistry.
I think the best news about this tragedy is that days before Pinewood signed a huge contract for StarWars upcoming productions. After such a thing, I just hope Pinewood friendly mode is fully on to let them keep some sets at the property.
What worries me is the lack of information about Ford’s injury. No official info available, no actor’s tweet in support to Ford… Nothing. Could it be an strategy to make people talk about it? Like “ok, our actor had an accident, we will do some minor changes, but we keep our audience in doubt because it’s free daily advertising for the movie.”
Who knows.
I like that idea actually, there would be some good tension there cuz Han would sure as hell be protective of his daughter if a smuggler was involved haha.

“Plus he isn’t even the same race as Leia/Han. He is Guatemalan.”
Guatemalan isn’t a race. Try again.
I’m still waiting for two characters here:
– Han and Leia’s son
– an unrelated Han Solo-esque character who possibly teams up with Serkis’ alien sidekick
I believe Oscar will play the latter, and Driver or an unmentioned actor will play the former. It’s also possible that they won’t have a son.
I’m gonna stand behind calling bullshit on the rumor that Oscar is an offspring of the Solos. He’s a completely different ethnicity, seems a bit too old and I just don’t think I could see him having very good relational chemistry with Carrie and Harrison. I think he’d do much better in a Tarkin-type of militant role.
“Han and Leia had two children, a boy and a girl. Though they weren’t twins. The elder boy was said to have died in childbirth, but [spoiler caution] was secretly raised by Max Von Sydow’s character. A girl, “O…..” was born a few years later. The male offspring won’t show up until the next film [which takes place nearly a decade later]. This is why only a girl has been cast for Episode 7.”
He is white. So he is the same race as they. Guatemalans are not different race.
They’re human colonists then?
Guatamala is a south american country, therefore his race is hispanic, not caucasian like Fisher and Ford. The difference in their ethnicity is noticable.
Hispanic is not a race. There are white Hispanics (those of European descent), black Hispanics of African descent, Asian Hispanics (many Mexicans for instance are of Japanese descent), and native peoples. Hispanic is traditionally meaning from Spain (so, white). So, you’re wrong across the board. Try an education.
Try a Star Trek fan blog, Q
Some people are learning about white Hispanics for the first time. Scary. o_0
You’re absolutely right. Of course we’re just imagining his “hispanic” features such as darker skin, and dark, curled hair. Since white people can have those too it makes total sense for someone who looks ethnically different to be Han and Leia’s son.
Just keep telling yourself that while the upvotes pour in from the more educated and less racist among us. There’s no elephant in the room that needs to be addressed here..move along, people.
Honestly, I don’t buy the thing about Isaac being Han and Leia’s son. IMHO, the rumor about Isaac being a shipmate aboard the Falcon is much more believable.
And I’m also not entirely sure that they’re even going to alter Harrison’s role at all. It would seem to be a pretty big change to make to a story that JJ and Kasdan spent so much time polishing up. I understand that there are money and scheduling concerns that could come into play, but at this point my suspicion is that the tabloids are playing this thing way up.
lol don’t be so pinickity. The point is he is not standard Caucasian (dare I say – race) like Leia and Han are.
He is half CUBAN and Guatemalan. Race is white, ethnicity is Hispanic. Trust me, I’m a white Cuban-American…I have to fill out all these BS forms all the time.
Further more, he has played both white British and Spanish speaking roles, so I don’t think either type of characters would be an issue for him.
Nope. He is white. Hispanic is not a race.
Hispanic can be white, black, indian-origin or mixed.
He is white. Many people from South America are racial white.
Many South American have Europe origin.
You are mixing race with ethnic.
Anonymous June 25, 2014 at 20:55 PM
And what is standard Caucasian?
Not all Caucasian have the same skintone.
Caucasians from Nordic countries have very white skin. They have mostly blue eyes and they are blond or ginger.
Caucasians from eastern Europe have darker skintone. They can have brown, green, and blue eyes. Dark and blond hair.
Caucasians from Southern Europe ( Italy, Greeece, Spain ) have olive skintone, mostly brown eyes and dark hair.
But they are all Caucasians. So what is your point.
The point is that Leia and Han are one type of Caucasian while Mr. Isaacs here is clearly another.
This points to the down side of a tight inflexible deadline. So far it has been the screenplay that has had to change and potentially suffer every time a would-be delay comes up. If Harrison wants the story to change so he’s only in the first film (understandable) they fire the brilliant but slow working writer rather than delaying the release. If Harrison needs a while to heal they change the script instead of the release date. How about prioritizing the story?
Maybe they could have meeting to discuss cosmetic Laparoscopy. Oscar could trial out new experimental plastic surgery. So he can actually become identical to Harrison Ford. Alter his face and bone structure by surgery so that he can fill in ford’s roles just as a precaution. Then the surgery can be reversed afterwards as if nothings happened. The surgery isn`t evasive as its keyhole. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Abrahams is anti cgi if Im not mistaken.
Dismissing the discussions about his race/ethnicity differing from Carrie and Harrison’s, I really couldn’t see him playing Han and Leia’s son simply because he bares no resemblence to either of them and his physique is not exactly one that’d suggest his role being a younger hero.
I don’t think his ethnicity is an issue, if he were to play the role of their son, which I doubt. Both Han and Leia (Harrison and Carrie) have dark hair, and Leia has dark eyes. His skin tone could be explained by recessive genetics, no one knows what Han’s parents look like, and Shmi Skywalker wasn’t exactly fair-skinned, she had dark features. It’s easily plausible.
Are you kidding me? He is not the same race, ethnicity, skin tone, whatever you want to call it, as Han or Leia. So how can you say ‘what is your point?’ when referring the possibility of him playing the son of Leia and Han..? Does he literally have to be black or asian or something before there is a problem? Or is that not a big enough deal either lol
Leia was already pregnant by the EP6.
She wasn’t showing … Honestly, since the “humans” in the Star Wars galaxy aren’t really earthly humans, but (technically!) an alien race that happens to look very much like us, one could always claim that genetics worked differently in that galaxy far, far away. (Decisive proof: Earthly humans don’t have “midichlorians” in their cells!) The movie-makers could get away with a lot if they really wanted to.
Disney have categorically denied this tabloid story. Maybe we should LEAD with that instead of just fueling the tabloid nonsense.
Anonymous June 25, 2014 at 21:40 PM
Yes he is the same race as Han and Leia. He is Caucasian, like they.
Leia has dark hair and brown eyes, and her skintone is darker.
Han has lighter skintone. He can be their son.
This is getting ridiculous. In no way can you convince me that Oscar looks related to Carrie and Harrison. He looks Latin because he is Latin.
You want to say he is white? He is. But he still looks nothing like Han and Leia. So no way I am buying him as their son.
Recessive gene? Is that a joke?
Some of you are acting like you are Carolus Linnaeus with your hair-splitting race and ethnicity classifications.
He could be the `adopted` son. Han could have been infertile or leia infertile so they had to go to an orphanage and adopt a child. It could be IVF treatment also. Just cause your infertile does not mean your options are gone. You can still have a son.
Oscar Isaac as Han and Leia’s son is not remotely believable for several reasons please don’t tell me people seriously are unable to see the obvious logistical errors here ..
But who would his real dad be ?
Lando?
Chewie!
..certainly wasn’t limp wristed 3po
People, people, stop getting so uptight about this. I’m British, and I can tell you I’d believe in the Tooth Fairy before I believed some bit of garbage from our grubby, scumbag gutter press.
The actor to watch will be the one JJ categorically states is not a Solo, or whatever. Think of Star Trek ID. John Harrison is not Khan. Oh, surprise, he is Khan.
… Are you the same person that suggested Chewie should be in a wheelchair because Peter Mayhew also uses a wheelchair so it would be easier?
With Ford and Mayhew both in wheelchairs, it must be like ‘Murderball’ on the set.
Many genes skip generations, it’s a very common occurrence, and can include skin pigmentation. They’re called recessive for that fact. Though, like I said, I doubt he is actually playing their son. Daisy is obviously the more logical choice for a Solo child.
All they have to do is get someone to shoot Han Solo in the ankle and then give him a wheelchair, which they with CGI magic turn into a hoverchair (perhaps the one Yoda used in AotC – that would be an incredible way to link the bookend sagas!!!). Then the only thing left is to give Harrison a better dialogue coach than he had in “Indy IV” and we’re set.
shhhh, don’t say CGI. Remember, it’s a useless piece of technology that has no place in “real” Star Wars. you just offended millions of OT fans.
Anonymous June 25, 2014 at 21:51 PM
I agree, this is ridiculous. You are obviously ignorant.
Facts:
1. Latin is not a race. Being Latin, or from Latin America does not make that person not white.
– Is Christina Aguilera not Caucasian? She is latina.
– Is Adriana lima not Caucasian? She is also latina
– Is Guy Ecker not Caucasian? He is latino ect…
Again latinos can have nordic white skintone, olive skintone, brown skintone. Blond, ginger, black, brown hair. Blue, green or brown eyes.
They can be Caucasian, black, asian.
Latino only means that they are from South America. But South America was a colony of many Europian nations. Many Europian have migrated in South America during last several centuries.
He has very simillar skintone like Carrie Fisher. And he can be her son.
He is not dark at all. If you look at photos above. He has same skintone like JJ Abrams.
You are really ignorant.
Unfortunately ours is a generation that goes on what you look like, not what specifications say.
Calling me ignorant is not the same this as making a point. Maybe you should take a college level rhetoric class.
You are a race baiter. My entire argument is that he looks nothing like Carrie or Harrison. He looks nothing like a combination of those 2 people. You are blinded by your wishful thinking, hoping we can ignore Oscar’s obvious lack of resemblance to Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. Javier Bardem is a great European actor who also does not look like them.
In time, you will see that the casting director agrees with me and not you.
Your obsession with race categorization is just bizarre and irrelevant.
Anonymous June 26, 2014 at 11:13 AM
That is only your opinion.
He looks like Leia. And he can pass as son of Solo and Leia, because he look like them.
He has brown hair and eyes like Leia.
And you are obsessed with race. You do not care how he looks, you only care that he is from Guatamala. So in your loogic he can not be their son, because of Country of his origin.
And that is why you are ignorant. You do not even know than hispanic, latino is not race.
Spanish people are hispanics, but they are Caucasians.
He is Caucasians. And he is simmilar enough to them.
“And you are obsessed with race. You do not care how he looks, you only care that he is from Guatamala. So in your loogic he can not be their son, because of Country of his origin.”
lol
Is this where we’re at? Accusing people of racism because they think someone with a certain ethnic “look” to them (no matter how you define that race or ethnicity or whatever you want to call it) who looks NOTHING LIKE Carrie Fisher or Harrison Ford should not play their biological child?
There’s no use arguing with you if you’re actually going to take that road. You seem to be the only person who thinks he resembles Carrie and Harrison, and you’re only forgoing that conclusion because after all that race-baiting its your only recourse in this argument.
I knew that Adriana Lima and Christina Aguilera were both Latina because of their looks. Try again.
Dirty old Leia knocked up in Cloud City whilst Chewie went looking for Threepio hey?
Or did she use frozen sperm (Carbonite)
Maybe…just maybe…that Oscar Isaac is playing Han Solo’s son yet Leia ISN’T his mother…
You guys seem to forget that Han Solo is a scoundrel, a rogue space pirate… Oscar is in his mid 30s. I’m sure Han Solo had plenty of time to fool around before he met Leia (New Hope) Wouldn’t it be interesting if Oscar appeared a few years after Han and Leia had their daughter, it would explain why Leia and Han are no longer together or there is tension (that was also a rumor).
Han did shoot first in the end… 😉
He could be Han’s son and not Leia’s. How about that?
That he doesn’t look like them. Seems obvious.
Anonymous June 25, 2014 at 22:24 PM
Point. Leia and Han do not look the same.
Luke and Leia do not look the same.
People defending the notion that Oscar Isaac could play a child of Leia and Han.
http://media.tumblr.com/6f19e6bc4f08e40f19f5812454e858cc/tumblr_inline_mob4bxBbMb1qz4rgp.gif
Tell us more, mysterious stranger.
I find it astonishing how people assume that Han and chewie still talk to each other or associate with each other. Thirty years has passed and the two could have drifted apart. Any number of things could have happened. Chewie could have been cheating with leia behind hans back or back stabbed him in some way breaking their friendship. Oscar could be his new companion. Think outside the box.
Yknow, it’s kind of ironic that the word Caucasian derives from the Caucasus mountains, home of people with closer to olive colored skin.
(btw… 1 Human race, which includes many ethnicities.)
And maybe they cast the children of Han and Leia to not look obviously like Ford or Fisher *so that it’s still a surprise?
I see Oscar as a mercenary. Thats it.
SO basically what you’re saying is, Lea had an affair with Han. Interesting.
The adoptive dad is the “real dad”. His biological descent would never have to be addressed. My wife and I are in the process of adopting so the idea is interesting to me, however, I see that as adding to much convolution to the plot. When you have to explain a characters ethnic differences instead of focusing on important plot points it wastes valuable screen time. I love what Zahn did introducing the twins (as twins obviously run in the family) and I like the idea of adoption, but let’s just go with Daisy and make the other characters non-related. Something fresh. Something simple.
This idea randomly popped in my head just now: Oscar as a biological son of Boba Fett brought up to hate Han Solo having an encounter with a young lady and falling for her over the course of the film only to find out she’s Han’s daughter later on.
Dude YES hahaha
In what way would it not be believable that Han and Leia “knocked out a kid the moment Return of the Jedi” ended? Hey, it was a big celebration, everybody had a little too much Ewok wine… Unless, of course, you mean that Leia gave birth the next day or something.
Oscar Isaaq will play Han’s rival Boba Fett. Ultimately Boba Fett will fatally injure Han in episode 7 in the epic climax of this Solo centric script.
Actually John Boyega has been cast to play the offspring of Leah. While Han was in carbon freeze Lando finally had an opportunity to work his magic.
You do realize that he’d have to be in his thirties if such an affair took place, right?
Han solo could be cloned after he dies. Rebel scientists, through hard work, could use his blood samples from Fiorina ‘Fury’ 161, on ice where he died. He could be re made. Like a resurrection solo.
Cloning has already been done and overkilled. It’d be a foolish direction for this next movie to follow.
Expanding the role of Oscar is a sexist move. They should only expand the role of women in this movie.
Only siths deal in absolutes…
anon@23:51
Just so the whole world is aware, this ‘sexist’ argument was started today by an OT fanatic.
The “sexist” argument should have been dead long ago… and yet, here it comes up AGAIN.
LEIA: Shut up!
Yeah he played the King of England in Robin Hood. He is Hispanic or but he can pass as Caucasion like he did in Robin Hood. I do feel like he could have a cool relationship/ chemistry with Han.
Yeah, apparently Ridley saw enough in this guy for him to play an English king by just popping in blue contacts.
He do not need to pass as Caucasion, because he is Caucasion.
His nationality is Guatamalan, but his race is Caucasion.
Jesus……….
But was Jesus latin, or middle eastern?
Give Luke Skywalker a bigger role! No way Han should have a bigger role than Luke in SW7..
Give Han the bigger role in VII, but give Luke the bigger role overall in the ST.
Don’t kill him off until AT LEAST IX. Forget Disney; I want Mark to milk this sweet cow, babby! o<|xD
I’d imagine that they’d keep using Mark for future Episodes even if his character were to die. That’s the perk of being a Force Ghost. Of course, this is assuming that there isn’t a huge gap between the release of the Sequel Trilogy and any hypothetical Episodes to come.
C3-po “Here we go again”
DEKKA129 … who he (or she)?
“He’s me!” ;^)
Just another long-time Star Wars nut, is all. I’ve been posting my cockamamie ideas in the comments section hereabouts for quite awhile, and Viral Hide was kind enough to ask me if I’d like to try my hand at writing up a few actual articles for the blog.
We’ll see how it goes, whether y’all like my posts, etc. I’ve got a few ideas for speculation articles and that sort of thing, but I figured I’d best get my feet wet first with some rumor/news posts.
So, for now, that’s me in a nutshell.
I actually have an two articles that I’d like to write, one regarding the roles of the cast, and the other for what Star Wars-related media we are likely to see at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Is it easy to get into contact with the powers that be and get something published for this site?
Well, I have no idea how Viral Hide prefers to handle solicited article ideas like that, but I reckon it couldn’t hurt to drop him a note. His email address should be at the “Contact” link at the top of the page.
Maybe Oscar Isaac IS Chewy. He could have been put in some kind of device (similar to carbonite chamber) and transfigured. Or, better yet, he was human all along…Shrek style. Bring it.
So you think they should add layers the plot, huh?
Boy, I sure could use a parfait right now!
I’ve got just the thing…

NEW RUMOR: Star Wars VII’s plot revolves around the search for a missing Luke Skywalker. Also, a bit of speculation regarding the cast members that were present on the Tatooine set.
http://makingstarwars.net/2014/06/star-wars-episode-vii-search/
This rumor has multiple sources. In any case, it doesn’t seem likely that they’d kill off Luke in VII, at the least.
I read this one too, and have been trying to follow up on this and see if there actually are multiple sources. So far, everything seems to track back to a single post at AICN. Have you found some additional sources?
There’s a link to a Badass Digest article that supports the claim, and it doesn’t reference the Ain’t It Cool News post.
That was posted and discussed last week on this site that Luke had become a recluse and had gone ‘walkabout’ and the Solo/Skywalker children and their friends/allies had gone in search of him because of an impending ‘ancient evil’ reappearing and threatening the galaxy.
Some of these rumours on other sites are probably picked up from the speculation and discussions that happen on this site.
I still think it would make more sense if it was a story about Luke setting up the New Jedi Order, with him and his students going into hiding after being targeted by the Empire several times. Luke doesn’t seem like the type to just go up and take a hike and leave his friends behind.
Anon 3:35 AM – I doubt it; the people that run sites like AICN are hooked up with more reliable sources than simple conversations on the internet. It’s a rumor mill, not a forum. As for tabloid sites, that could be more likely – but, being a tabloid, the stuff they write tends to be fabricated in some way or another.
pomojema – I’m getting a sense of déjà vu here. Last time I said I thought it would work better with Luke gone AWOL and the younger generation going in search of him.
And that it would probably be Ep 8 or 9 before we got to Luke founding the New Jedi Order.
***deletet****
Guatemalan is definitely a race bro. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130924035154/disney/images/0/0d/Monterey_Jack_(Chip_and_Dale_Rescue_Rangers).jpg
Ha Guatemalan is a nationality not a race. Biologically there is only one race.
One race? Are you joking or trolling? Because you are succeeding at the latter.
Anonymous, I am your brother. You’ll have to trust me on this, since we probably look nothing alike, aside from human. 😉
I believe he means the human race. However, I’d disagree somewhat – there are plenty of subhuman animals walking amongst us that quack.
Guatemalan is a nationality, same as German, English, Irish, Italian…
Guatemalans can be any race.
I wish I could delete that… but no
Im not gonna lie, the AWOL Luke story is the most intriguing idea for a plot I have heard by far. It’s the mother of all macguffins.
With that on the back burner, you could start to weave new characters in pretty easily.
I hope that this is true.
Meh. Loosely reminds me of Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock.
So J. J. IS directing Star Trek 3 after all. :p
(This is a joke, just in case my sarcasm isn’t easily understood by the barrier of the internet.)
ABRAMS: At last we will reveal ourselves to the public. At last we will join trekkies and Star Wars fans. >:D
Why wouldn’t Luke be missing? At the time of roj he was the only Jedi left. He would have to go out in search of new recruits. I doubt he would just put an ad in the paper.
Luke would scour the galaxy for the best of the best recruits, but he wouldn’t just go off the grid like that.
Luke’s all about the fam. qB-D
No Luke will be the new Phantom Menace stealing children in the night like a good Jedi.
At least he’s not sabering them like his father did.
Ok
Love child of Vader and Asajj Ventress
Wrong, he’s the lovechild of Jek Tono Porkins and Sly Moore.
Guess what time it is? RUMOR TIME!
http://makingstarwars.net/2014/06/rumors-john-boyegas-character-star-wars-episode-vii/
This rumor states that the first act of Episode VII takes place on Tatooine. It should be noted that on Tatooine, only two cast members were identified – John Boyega (playing a character codenamed “Thomas”) and Daisy Ridley (playing a character codenamed “Rachel”). Anyway, Thomas is said to be a part of the Empire, though his ship is shot down and he crash-lands on Tatooine. He is rescued by Rachel, who tends to his injuries and convinces him to defect from the Empire (a first for the movies, given that characters have consistently been on one side of a conflict or another instead of switching sides). Thomas and Rachel befriend one another and sow the seeds for a potential romance. Thomas apparently does not become a Jedi-in-training until after he leaves Tatooine (as Boyega has been seen using a Lightsaber at Pinewood, but not in Abu Dhabi).
There is also a rumor that Domhnall Gleeson’s character is on a quest of some kind (probably relating to the Force). It is likely that these storylines will be told concurrently with the storyline that involves the Original Trilogy leads until the storylines converge.
Donal’s quest could tie in, (if he is Luke’s son) with the search for Luke who has disappeared and gone a wandering for whatever reason.
LMAO Daisy and John aint gonna have romance. Where did u get this idea from ? quit watching the Kardashians.
I know I shouldn’t bother with your insipid troll post, but whatever.
I was relaying a rumor from a site that actually has evidence that pieces of the rumor may be substantiated by the script – again, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega were the only two lead cast members to be seen at the Abu Dhabi set.
Also, the Kardashians are @#$~%^* terrible (as is the case with most reality television), and I would not insult my own intelligence by watching them.
Just for the sake of looking at things from all angles, I believe it was said that Pinewood has a “Tatooine” set. So technically they could have other cast members film their parts there and edit everything together later.
Unknown cast members filming there maybe?
I wish they would issue an official statement so that all these rumours would stop and to reassure fans on what’s happening
