From the photo and Daisy Ridley's proximity to actors Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, it has been suggested Ridley is playing the daughter of Han and Leia. That would suggest the female role yet to be cast is the one rumored to be a mixed-race descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi - a role 12 Years a Slave Best Supporting Actress Lupita Nyong'o was linked to.
Disney/Lucasfilm haven't revealed any character details at all however, so which of the newcomers is playing which roles is all speculation at this point.
There was also one key name missing Lando Calrissian himself Billy Dee Williams whose involvement has been hinted at for more than a year but he was absent yesterday
Classic trilogy stars Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker are returning as well.
Abrams wrote the script with Lawrence Kasdan for the film. Oscar winner Michael Arndt ("Toy Story 3," "Little Miss Sunshine") vacated his job scripting the next film--after disagreements over which characters the film will focus on.
Kasdan ("The Empire Strikes Back," "Raiders of the Lost Ark") and Simon Kinberg ("Sherlock Holmes," "X-Men: Days of Future Past") have reportedly closed deals to pen the final two installments of the new "Star Wars" trilogy. Kasdan and Kinberg are also indeed developing stand alone/origin Star Wars features. Current franchise chief, Kathleen Kennedy spoke to Yahoo about the stand-alone films saying that they will NOT affect the main narrative of the Episodes.
The series MVP composer John Williams is set to score Episode VII, Episode VIII and Episode IX.
Kasdan and Kinberg would also join the projects as producers with Kennedy.
Production is scheduled to run from now until September.
The film now has a confirmed release date of December 18, 2015
