“Girls” actor Adam Driver is long rumored to take on the role as a Sith Lord in the vein of Darth Vader or Darth Maul in the hotly anticipated “Star Wars Episode 7”. The latest rumors to hit the web indicates that Driver might be in line to play the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia. His character is still expected to be villainous by nature while being “seduced” to join the Dark Side.
According to the official scoop from Jedi News:
“[ their son ]will be seduced to the Dark Side, and a main plot point for the movie will be their attempt to rescue him.”
A very interesting plot tidbit may have been revealed here, that means we can expect Han and Leia’s to collaborate efforts to bring back their son from the Dark Side…or will he suffer the same fate as Anakin Skywalker?
