[SPOILERS] 'Star Wars: Episode VII' Rumor Update: Sibling Rivalry To Be Center Of Movie Plot?

With J.J. Abrams set to direct the reboot "Star Wars: Episode VII," a major rumor has surfaced that reveals the major plot of the movie.

According to Schmoes Know, a casting breakdown was intercepted by an anonymous source that was sent from Abrams himself. Such rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, especially since Abrams knows how to handle leaks thanks to his hand in "Lost," "Cloverfield," and "Star Trek."

Still, the here is the supposed storyline of the film.

"Storyline: Two 17 year old twins, a girl and a boy, are trained by their uncle Luke to be the greatest Jedis in the galaxy. Problems arise when the male twin turns to the dark side."

According to the leak, Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo are the twins mentioned above, and Jacen is tempted by the dark side enough to eventually become Darth Caedus.

Star Wars fans will notice that the breakdown borrows heavily from the expanded universe and is supposed to focus on Han and Leia's children.

However, internet bloggers have picked up that certain things seem suspiciously absent, like Jacen and Jaina's younger brother, Anakin, who plays a big role in the expanded universe.

In addition, according to Slash Film, producer Lawrence Kasdan specifically stated he would not borrow from previously written canon. And given the available source material in the form of novels by Timothy Zhahn, Kevin J. Anderson, and Troy Denning, a fake leak like this is a perfectly plausible thing to manufacture.

Stay tuned for more confirmation in the coming time.
