The story takes place approximately 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, but will feature the stars of the 'middle' trilogy, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa). Also on board from the original trilogy are Kenny Baker, Anthony Daniels and Peter Mayhew - reprising the roles of R2D2, C3PO and Chewbacca respectively.
Our old school heroes are all there, but the two main protagonists of The Force Awakens are set to be Daisy Ridley's scrap-collector, Rey, and John Boyega's reformed Stormtrooper (and probable latent Jedi), Finn.
On the Dark Side of the Force is Girls' Adam Driver's Kylo Ren - the wannabe Vader with the divisive lightsaber - and Game of Thrones legend, Gwendoline Christie, as the super shiney Stormtrooper, Captain Phasma.
Also joining the cast are Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina, Inside Llewyn Davies), Domhall Gleeson (Ex Machina, About Time), Max von Sydow (Flash Gordon, Escape to Victory - obviously the Swedish thesp's finest works) - along with Andy Serkis (virtually every blockbuster with a CGI character).
