Van de keyroles in de Classic Trilogy is Williams de oudste?
Ford is ook niet de jongste meer..
Mayhew ook niet dacht ik? Ik denk dat er een andere acteur Chewbacca zal spelen in VII, vanwege gezondheidsproblemen van Mayhew?
Mayhew is druk bezig met geld inzamelen voor operaties geloof ik, zodat hij Chewie kan spelen

Moet je nagaan. Speel je in drie toppers van kaskrakers en toch weinig geld overhouden.
Of zijn geld ging op aan weet ik veel.. wel sneu voor die kerel.
Al ging ie best veel overal heen naar conventies etc..
Hopelijk lukt het hem om aan voldoende geld te komen voor operaties.
Nice !!
'Star Wars: Episode VII' Adds Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca (Exclusive)
Disney Chief Reveals 'Star Wars: VII' Casting Almost Complete, Says Film Is Already Shooting (Video)
'Star Wars: Episode VII' to Begin Filming in May
Adam Driver to Play Villain in 'Star Wars: Episode VII'
Peter Mayhew will play Chewbacca for Disney and Lucasfilm's upcoming sequel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Mayhew played the legendary Wookiee and Han Solo's co-pilot in the original trilogy, beginning with Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope in 1977. Rumors recently surfaced that he was reprising his role after he canceled an upcoming appearance at Texas convention Comicpalooza "due to filming." Since the convention takes place May 23-26, many fans wondered if that meant the actor would be busy with Episode VII.
Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn revealed on April 2 that the new Star Wars had already begun filming and most of the cast was set. "We have a lot of them [in place]," he said about the main actors, whose names have not been disclosed. "We're just not completely done yet."

Star Wars: Episode VII, to be directed by J.J. Abrams and slated to hit theaters Dec. 18, 2015, has been shrouded in a thick veil of secrecy, with dozens of names flying through the rumor mill for months now. THR reported that Adam Driver will be playing an undisclosed villain. Original stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher also are said to be reprising their roles.
In March, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger said the new project would begin filming in May and will be set 30 years after the events in 1983's Return of the Jedi. "There will be some very familiar faces along with a trio of new young leads," he said during Disney's annual shareholder's meeting in Portland, Ore.
Mayhew, who also played Chewbacca in prequel film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, has mainly spent his career playing the iconic character, but also appeared in the horror film Terror and did voice work in the British version of Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy. He's repped by Entertainment Legends Management and Cohen & Gardner.
Disney and Lucasfilm had no comment.

Verrassend vind ik Kenny Baker - dit mannetje is zeer op leeftijd namelijk en kampt ook met gezondheidsproblemen maar toppie CAST
Misschien mis ik nog wel Billy Dee Williams (Lando)
Toch wel gaaf dat Harrison Ford meedoet.
idd tof!

Zelfde voor Peter toch?
En ja idd Billy wilt niet meer? Over hem horen we niets in Star Wars berichten.
Wellicht is ie overstag te halen nu dat de rest van de cast wel meedoet.
Wel een rasse knar van 77.
Lees net dat ie wel meedoet aan Star Wars Rebels.
Ben ik nu benieuwd of de oude cast nu meer gaat fitnessen etc om aan een 'gezonde' conditie te komen?
Wel spannend hehe.. er zijn al torenhoge verwachtingen omtrent deze film.
En wat ook toch elke keer weer leuk is om te zien dat Star Wars heel vaak en veelvoudig terugkomt in andere series, die niets met Star Wars te maken hebben. En uiteraard in andere films.
Ondanks dat Star Trek franchise groter (en succesvoller?? ivm series?) blijft Star Wars toch meer tot de verbeelding spreken.
Misschien komt Lando in Episode VIII 🙂
Wedge Antilles actor rejected 'Star Wars: Episode VII' role because it would 'bore' him
One of Star Wars' best pilots won't be returning in Episode VII. Denis Lawson, who played Rebel ace Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy, has confirmed that he turned down the chance to return in the upcoming Star Wars sequel. Speaking at a screening of his new movie, The Machine, Lawson said "they asked me but it just would have bored me."
Wedge — not to be confused with the Captain Antilles strangled by Darth Vader minutes into Episode IV — appeared as a hotshot pilot in all three original movies. While his part was minor, Wedge notably helped save Luke Skywalker during his attack on the first Death Star, survived the battle of Hoth, and contributed to the destruction of the second by flying into its core alongside Lando Calrissian. According to Badass Digest, Lawson suggested he might have returned if the role was increased in scope, but ultimately rejected the offer.
WEDGE ANTILLES SURVIVED ALL THREE ORIGINAL MOVIES
While his screentime in the original trilogy was limited, the Corellian ace found a greater role in Star Wars' Expanded Universe. Wedge, lest we forget as 30 years of Star Wars lore is whitewashed, was front and center in almost all of that far-off galaxy's major post-Return of the Jedi tribulations. He commanded elite Rogue and Wraith Squadrons, helped Death Star engineer Qwi Xux regain her memory, solved the bacta crisis, played an important role in beating back the Yuuzhan Vong menace, and fought for Corellia for a time against the increasingly authoritarian Galactic Alliance.
While we likely won't see an on-screen Wedge worthy of his Expanded Universe exploits, it's not yet clear whether in Lawson's absence, the role will be recast. For the sake of Episode VII's new republic, or if only to see a fan favorite back on the big screen, we can hope it is.
Wat vinden jullie van het model?
Model vind ik wel wat hebben. Het lijkt echt op een nieuwe type X-wing.
Meteen ook maar even een donatie gedaan met kans om in de film te komen.
