In February, Variety reported that Adam Driver ("Inside Llewyn Davis") would play the main villain Star Wars: Episode VII. They described the role: "in the vein of iconic 'Star Wars' villain Darth Vader." Now a source for Jedi News has chimed in with some additional info, claiming Driver will play the son of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher).
"Sounds like Adam Driver is NOT going to play a villain...sort of. He will be playing the son of Han and Leia, and it seems he will be seduced to the Dark Side, and a main plot point for the movie will be their attempt to rescue him." - Jedi News

Star Wars: Episode VII - Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film. It's being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.

Will he be called "Darth Daddy-Issues"? Those types of Sith tend to be the best.

I thought his character was Gheorghe Mureșan's son.

I am really hoping they don't take he son approach. Think it is a bit cliche whenever they revive a franchise. New characters can interact with old, but never been a fan of the son or daughter plot.

if he is Han/Leia's son, I hope they call him Jacen, even if he is not exactly Jacen. And I expect that Daisy Ridley girl will be Jaina, even though she's almost a decade younger than Driver.

Yea..hate to be so dismissive but this Driver guy is one goofy looking dude.
I can't take him seriously. Total mis-cast,this film is already looking weak.

Driver is a funny looking sob.

Sounds plausible. This fits with the earlier report about him playing a villain.

On an extremely unrelated note, this pineapple and coconut Greek yogurt is no bueno. I should've eaten the peach or blueberry one instead.

I did not realise that, I just thought they had a similar look.

I'd actually like him playing Jacen. It explains why Ford will have a 'big role' in the movie. The plot is unfolding nicely.

Oh! I'm not angry or anything, it's just that Pox's comment means that's what they are.

Wow. A lot of comments disappointed that he's not a traditionally handsome guy. That's sad.

Han and Leia make so muppet looking children. Guess it fits in star wars.

I think Han needs to go on Jeremy Kyle and get a DNA test as it looks like Leia got jiggy with a ferengi.
