Now, if you are as big of a Star Wars fan as I am, then I am sure you have heard the latests news on Star Wars Episode VII. No, not Harrison Ford's injury, which may delay the film, but the newest casting. Yes, I said it, the newest casting. Two new and considerably unknown actors have been casted for Star Wars Episode VII. One, being Pip Andersen and two, being Crystal Clarke.
Pip is a British actor, as well as a, "skilled practitioner of parkour," as stated on the official Star Wars website. For those unaware of what parkour is, parkour is
the activity and/or sport of moving rapidly through an area, typically in an urban environment, negotiating obstacles by running, jumping, and climbing. Pip recently starred in a Spider-Man ad for Sony, link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNBRxgr9zZc , after watching the ad, I think we can all agree that Pip is pretty remarkable at parkour.
Crystal Clarke is an American actress studying in Glasgow, United Kingdom. Crystal is more so a theater actress, but does have some screen acting experience. Crystal is making her first appearance in the film, The Moon and the Sun, which is to be released in 2015.
Thoughts: Despite never actually seeing Crystal act, I'm sure she will be good, or so I hope, but for Pip on the other hand, I must say that after extensively watching Youtube videos of him, which can be found on his Youtube channel, "Piptrix," link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAJNUKnrFMy1An1-SNDZPTQ , I have found that Pip is amazing at Parkour. If I had to take a guess as to what kind of role Pip will play in Star Wars Episode VII, I would say Pip will most likely be playing some type of lightsaber wielding character, possibley, Jedi, Sith, or the so called, "Sith Hunters." Either way, I am very hopeful, as well as optimistic that Pip and Crystal will make a fine addition to the Star Wars universe no matter the role they play.
