RUMOR: Have These Two Actors Read For Roles In STAR WARS: EPISODE VII?

This one comes from Jedi News, who originally posted that Emperor rumor. According to them Ksenia Solo (yes, really) and Spartacus actor Liam McIntyre have read for roles in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Wars flick..

Jedi News first ran the rumor that Emperor Palpatine would be returning for Star Wars: Episode VII, which was then picked up by Latino Review who managed to uncover some more details on it..so it's worth paying attention to another couple of casting rumors they've just posted. According to them brilliantly named Latvian actress Ksenia Solo (Black Swan, tv's The Lost Girl)is being considered for -- wait for it -- the role of the daughter of Princess Leia and Han Solo. They don't mention if she's actually read for it, or is just someone Abrams and the studio are looking at. This next one is a bit more solid -- apparently a correspondent of theirs from starwarsreport.com reports that he had a conversation with Spartacus actor Liam McIntyre who revealed that he read for a Jedi role in the movie. Of course even if these guys have read for roles, there's no guarantee they'll get them or even wind up front-runners but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Realistically, a ton of actors will audition for many of these roles. It's pretty pointless at this stage to care who is reading for a role.

Instead, let me know when Carrie Fisher is a size 2 again.

I have been reading the Legacy of the force series and was never much a fan of Boba Fett until I read him putting his quarrels aside, reconnecting with his Granddaughter Mirta Gev and building Mandalore into the bad as planetary force it needs to be It is safe to say that I am a total Boba Fett fan now. If I had to pick where they go with this story I would say that parts of the Thrawn series, parts of Jacen Solo becoming Darth Caedus with help from lumiya and Jaina Solo coming into her own as the sword of the Jedi and of course Mark Hamil as the Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker [frick]in shit Up. Can't [frick]ing wait.

I think it's better if the movie uses unknowns for many of the characters. It's not like they need big names to sell Star Wars

Her last name is Solo, and he looks a lot like Mark Hamill. This shit writes itself!

So, is CBM going to report on everyone who reads for parts? At this stage, 4 months before shooting, that could be a few dozen actors per lead role.

Tracy Spiridakos should be Jaina Solo, she is very beautiful and worked with Abrams on Revolution so you know she can handle the action and acting.
