We have not heard a peep from Disney or J.J. Abrams regarding any possible storylines. Rumors suggest that we should prepare for a younger generation of Jedi taking the fight forward against the Dark Side. Additional rumors also suggest that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher are expected to reprise their roles in the upcoming flick. Adding fuel to the fire, there is a saucy rumor suggesting that Carrie Fisher is set to join the ‘Star Wars Episode 7′ production in London for Six Months.
Filming is set to start later this year in anticipation of completing the flick for a December 18, 2015 release date.
