If Shia LaBeouf is cast for any part I'm officially out.

Well, if he is, hopefully they shove a lightsaber up his ass early in the movie and end him.

so whats going with the casting?

Who would you guys cast?

I've heard rumors that that guy from the Tudors might be cast as the lead Jedi.

I hope they cast some guys from Boardwalk Empire (Michael Pitt who is more of an indie guy so I doubt he would even agree to it and Jack Huston)

I hadn't given any thought to the character's skin color.

Considering that Jango Fett was played a Maori man (as was his son, Boba), casting Tom Cruise or any other Caucasian would directly contradict canon.

Well that sucks. Leonardo DiCaprio have any Maori cousins?

"I don’t know. I think it’s nice that in this day and age, a white male can still be cast as an Indian played by a Mexican. White men really have come a long way!"

I'm not stating that J.J. Abrams will be released from his Star Wars duties, but I have heard rumblings that Disney and Lucasfilms are unhappy with his recent public statements.

1. Publicly stating that he's "pissed" that the filming of Episode VII will be in London and not Los Angeles.

2. Stating that he will "honor but not revere" the prior films, especially the original trilogy.

3. The poor box office results of Star Trek are also worrisome to some at the Mouse House.

It will be interesting to see how this develops, especially since they're on a tight schedule and according to J.J., they have not even agreed how to move forward with VII.

Those two statements alone indicate they need to fire him and go with somebody else.

This isn't about YOU JJ. It's about a beloved franchise that you don't **** with.

Abrams can **** right off then.

After the Star Trek debacle and him being an arrogant little shit with this, I don't want him anywhere near my beloved franchises.

By the way, these quotes are searchable,which makes them even more worrisome to those in charge of reviving this franchise.
