Harrison Ford

Has Harrison Ford not played an iconic action hero? From Han to Indy to Jack Ryan, Ford has had the action genre on lock for decades. Despite his generally grumpy demeanor (especially about those previous Star Wars rumors), he's back to play Han Solo again and is rumored to be the star. Maybe just don't ask him about it...

Gwendoline Christie

Who is that bombshell next to Anna Friel? It's none other than Brienne of Tarth! Gwendoline Christie, who plays our favorite bad-ass on Game of Thrones, has previously dabbled in theater, modeling and had small roles in two of Terry Gilliam's films. We're guessing she'll continue to bring her statuesque ass-kicking to Star Wars.

George Lucas

What's there to say about George Lucas that hasn't already been said? The insanely accomplished director (who has the most adorable ears) is responsible for some of the most iconic action franchises in history: Indiana Jones and Star Wars. While he won't be directing the new film, we're sure his influence will be all over it.

Billy Dee Williams

Billy Dee Williams has had a long career on both the stage and the screen. He played the role of Lando Calrissian in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Quickly becoming a fan-favorite, the omission of Williams from the new casting was a disappointment. Hopefully we don't have to count him out just yet.
