Earlier this year, director J.J. Abrams revealed the official cast list for the movie, which will reunite original Star Wars stars Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Kenny Baker (R2-D2). They'll be joined by franchise newcomers Adam Driver (Girls), Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, among others.
