Casting for "Star Wars: Episode VII" could start being revealed later this month.

According to Jedi Master, Lucasfilm will try to keep casting details secret until the end of the month. The source stated, "My sources tell me that Lucasfilm is going silent for a period. It could be one of two things: they are clamping down on leaks or, as I was previously told, announcements would start later in October and be drip-fed in a controlled manner for the remainder of the year. All that was said is there's a 'need to draw a line in the sand for a period,' which makes me think the latter."

The source also said that the actors who auditioned have not been rejected or called back about the roles. The source wrote, "My casting source has told me that beyond the planned casting calls and meets there has been little information coming out on casting. No one is getting rejected, they just get silence. There are two possibilities for this: 1) They know who they want and have no fear in getting them. Can you turn down Star Wars? So, they will not announce anything until the last minute as they will make 'take it or leave it' offers. How to avoid leaks? Don't officially cast actors until you absolutely need to, a move that also allow actors to deny that they are involved by truthfully stating that they have 'not signed anything'. 2) If they reject actors there is the fear that they will talk possibly about their auditions, the type of character, age ranges, etc."

Actors who have auditioned for the upcoming film include Saoirse Ronan, Ryan Gosling, Zac Efron and Stuart Stapleton. "Star Wars: Episode VII" is in pre-production and is rumored to star Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill. The film is slated for a release in 2015.

Little is known about the plot for the film, but rumors indicate that the story will follow up years after "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" and will feature older versions of the original trilogy characters Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo. However, these characters are expected to play minor roles in the film with the emphasis likely on younger heroes.
