A little rumor roundup:

John Boyega will play a character much like Luke in the OT. He will not be a Jedi, but will be introduced to the greater Star Wars universe. The main plot of the ST will revolve around his character much the same as Luke in the OT.

We have the persistent rumors of Jedi Hunters. The most likely scenario is that Luke Skywalker has at least started to rebuild the Jedi Order. The Jedi Hunters have started hunting down and killing those new Jedi.

Another persistent roumor is the Jedi Hunters are most likely Dark Jedi being led by a single individual bent on destroying the Jedi and building a new Sith Empire.

Most recently the Mandalorians will factor heavily into the ST.

Oh yeah and Tom Cruise will play an Ewok!

I have never seen John Boyega in any movies, so I will have to check out some of his previous work.  I really like the early plot rumors, as I am looking forward to the 'multiple' Jedi Hunters compared to always 1 or 2 bad guys from the PT/OT. 

NO TOM CRUISE!  I hope this rumor is as false at the N'Sync being in Episode II rumor!!!

If they're just going to stick to the boring KISS-reject-with-a-red-lightsaber look for these hypothetical Jedi hunters, then I'd rather see a bunch of rapping Gungan strippers as the villains.

I believe they did film several members of N'sync for episode II, just didn't use the footage.

^^I hope those rumours have more than a grain of truth in them. The ST needs to have complex villains/anti-heroes or else we're just going back into PT mode all over again. 

IGN just posted that the film release may be delayed due to the injury.  To be honest I never liked the December release date, Star Wars films should always be out in May.

 Is it wrong that I can hear Servo singing this in my head?

Which brings me to something that I love about TCW: that it reveals that Maul's KISS-reject look comes from him being a Nightbrother, not from him being a Sith.

Andy Serkis to play a Mo-Cap character:

http://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/star-wars-7-exclusive-andy-serkis-talks-script-jj-abrams-more/

“It’s extraordinary. I grew up with Star Wars and was a massive fan of the original films. I never imagined in a million years that I’d be engaging with this. It’s just come about so organically.

“JJ Abrams and I met, and we just had this incredible kind of vibe between us. He said, ‘You’d fit really well in this universe,’ and I said, ‘I think I probably could.’ We’re working very closely, as I say, in two ways: the Imaginarium is providing all of the performance characters, and I myself am playing a character in it.

“I’m thrilled, deeply excited,” he continued. “Sitting at that read-through the other day was just extraordinary. It was an amazing event; being with the original cast was just incredible. I just think the script is so wonderful, and both the old and the newbies in the cast are just so thrilled and excited to get together.”

Son of Jar-Jar?

Hopefully he plays some sort of artificial intelligence-thingy that exists only as a digital projection and not something that's supposed to be flesh and blood.

 The Imaginarium?  As in Disney Imaginarium?  So his character may be a practical puppet? 

Is Episode 7 supposed to be just a big ad for that Jim Henson Creature shop show on syfy channel?

Thank you for the correction!  I've offically marked the animatronic hall of presidents as not appearing in Ep. 7.
