Star Wars Episode 7 Cast Rumors: Original Casts Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher & Mark Hamill Spotted In UK For Shooting? Peter Mayhew To Follow Soon?

No other rumored cast has been confirmed following the revelation of R2-D2's return for Star Wars episode 7, well that may change sooner rather than later. Jedi News recently reported that Carrie Fisher who played Princess Leia was spotted in UK with her dog. The report claimed that Fisher was in UK as early as Tuesday, a few days prior to shooting.

The second member of the "big three" Harrison Ford, was also spotted in London on April 24, while he was leaving London's Hakkasan restaurant.

The third and certainly not the least is Mark Hamill, the actor who played the icon role of Luke Skywalker was allegedly spotted in UK as well.

However, no confirmation has been made yet by Disney or Lucasfilm as for the Star Wars episode 7 cast rumors.

The Hollywood Reporter on the other hand claims that another original Star Wars trilogy cast is making a comeback - Chewbacca.

The online publication claims that Peter Mayhew will be reprising his role as Chewbacca, Han Solo's trusted number two Wookie.

Speculations to the said news arise following Mayhew's cancellation of his appearance at the Comicpalooza "due to filming."

Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn revealed that Star Wars episode 7 had begun filming at the start of the month, where he added that most of the cast had already been chosen.

However, the studio seems to be determined in keeping things under wrap, neither confirming nor denying any of Star Wars Episode 7 cast rumors.

With Chewbacca's involvement in the film, it is safe to assume that Harrison Ford will most likely going to reprise his role as Han Solo as well. Chewbacca and Han Solo are inseparable, knowing that Chew owes Solo a Wookiee life debt.

In other Star Wars episode 7 news director J.J. Abrams has been very open with his disappointment about the film being shot in UK, saying that Disney's decision to continue the movie's tradition of filming in London studios "really does make me insane."

However, the film had to be shot outside of the London studios as not everything could be filmed inside the studio.

Badass Digest revealed that Star Wars Episode 7 that the production will start in Morocco for two weeks with a possible trip to Tunisia. "The latter was the original setting used to double for Tatooine, home planet of the Skywalkers, and some of the sets that were built still remain as weathered monuments to the making of the films."

With that said, there's a possibility that Star Wars Episode 7 plot could include Tatooine in it, but with Disney getting everything under wraps it's really hard to tell.

Star Wars Episode 7 is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
