People behind the Star Wars Episode 7 might only be revealing some vague hints about the plot and cast of the upcoming film but online leaks never start to intrigue us. Last week, we told you about the possible role of Lupita Nyong'o' and Luke Skywalker's character twist: him transforming into a villain.
Now we are hearing about the cameo roles of Robert Downey Jr., Samuel Jackson, and Daniel Craig. Mr. James Bond allegedly shot a two day cameo in Star Wars Episode 7.
Aside from this rumored cast, a source of Making Star Wars also talked about the rumored name of the Sith home planet: "Moraband - The Sith homeworld is in the movie. It's been there throughout production with various names attached to it. I had it confirmed to me by someone working in England that there are sets for the 'Sith world'." (via HNGN)
For those for missed the leaked plot and cast of Star Wars Episode 7 from a 4Chan member named Mizzlewump, here's an excerpt to ponder on:
"I've read the second draft of the Abrams/Kasdan script," he claimed.
"I've chosen a trip so that people can't BS in my name when trailers, other media, and the film itself confirm what I say. I won't post again until then so as not to be accused of attention whoring. Please don't read unless you want to have the film spoiled."
