heavenlyreylo:

– Mark Hamill officially is confirmed as part of the cast. 

Force ghost Luke, I presume?

–
“The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

Can’t say I’m surprised. It would have been very jarring to see another actress play Leia or to see a video-game looking Carrie on screen. I’m eager to see how well it will fit the narrative of the story, and more importantly, if it respectfully and satisfyingly concludes the story of Leia Organa.

–

Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

YEEHAW

– No Keri Russell. 

WELL…. an interesting turn in events..

– “Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant.” 

FIRST OFF, PREPARE TO SHIELD MS. ACKIE FROM RACIST FANBOYS. Also, old British dude? Definitely a villain. Not much else to report except that I am interested to see their parts in the film. 

– Conclusion to the Skywalker saga

OH WORD???

MUCH TO THINK ABOUT
