 Well, I was trying to be optimistic up till now, but if you wanna here some thoughts from an industry insider (I work in LA)...

Some of these actors are not proven commodities and may suck and/or not be able to carry a movie.  Harrison Ford hasn't done any good acting work in years --his Ender's Game performance was so bad it hurt.  Hopefully JJ can pull what is needed out of these thespians, but it is by no means a sure thing and/or even that likely.  

I don't know any of these young actors other than John Boyega and Oscar Isaac.  Oscar did well with what he was given in Inside Llewyn Davis (a bore of a movie).  But Boyega was a total badass in Attack the Block.  If you haven't seen it you should.  It's awesome -- and available via Netflix mail.
