Star Wars Episode 7 plot is still vague but its cast is now starting to make the rounds! A few weeks ago, we told you about the possible role of Lupita Nyong'o' and Luke Skywalker's character twist: him transforming into a villain.
We also heard 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.
But one character has been discussed in detail just this week, and that is no other than Max Von Sydow's role. Warning: Possible spoilers ahead!
According to MakingStarWars, "Max von Sydow character in Star Wars: Episode VII is not an ancient Sith Lord or a supernatural being with an awesome voice. He's a beaten man. He's old enough to have lived through the Clone Wars, seen the Intergalactic Civil War unfold and then the aftermath of the fall of Emperor Palptaine. He's no longer a man, he's a cyborg. His eye is obscured by an ocular viewing device, most likely from a past injury which mean the could no longer use the eye with any ease. One leg is entirely cybernetic now, almost like a Super Battledroid but with metallic claws where his toes would be. He sits at a bar drinking, wary, and old. If you have an oddity, a rare weapon, you might want to bring it to him for evaluation."
Aside from this rumored cast/characters, 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."
AGAIN, SPOILERS AHEAD! (via Latino Review)
