Star Wars, new episode, new line up.

This isn't the first we've heard of the new Star Wars Episode VII, and it certainly won't be the last.  Especially with principal photography due to start anytime soon.  So we should be hearing lots more casting news over the coming weeks.

The latest of this is the potential big bad being Adam Driver.

Known most recently for his role in the TV Show Girls, and a big screen outing for Inside Llewyn Davis, Driver may be a relative unknown to many.  With names such as Hugo Weaving and Michael Fassbender also being linked to this project, many may wonder how Driver got a shoe in.

Some think that this is an indication that we may be in for a number of bad guys.  I think it may just be a wise and inspired decision for revitalising the franchise.

What better way than to bring in relatively new blood as opposed to more 'household' names.  It may simply be a move for longevity of character.  If we're to expect more Star Wars episodes in future, and our bad guy is set to star across a few, aging will then start to become a factor.

Most likely he was the best man for the job, and all of these musings will be forgotten once he makes his first appearance.

Never the less, there's likely to be much more news to follow.
