Ever get the feeling that most Star Wars: Episode VII rumors are nothing more than a pile of bantha poodoo? The fact of the matter is that very little has actually been confirmed, despite the near-daily glut of casting stories, supposed concept art, and other stuff that J.J. Abrams will never ever cop to. Like the seemingly random stories that crop up about superhero films, Star Wars rumors tend to be pretty lame and follow a predictable template. This actor will play a character who sounds an awful lot like a character you've seen before (Oscar Isaac is a Han Solo-type, Adam Driver is a Darth Vader-type) in a story involving Jedi and Sith. Well, duh.
