Based just on how table readings tend to be done - it looks pretty much set that Daisy Ridley is almost certainly Han and Leias dughter - but who knows if itll be Jaina (there doesn't seem to be anyone who fits as Jaycen, either).
I suppose Gleeson could be Ben Skywalker - but I doubt it. It looks like John Boyega will be the male lead of the new cast (being the top billed aside from the returning cast), and I don't see that being the case if Luke's son were a character.
My big question - how many aliens will Sirkis play?
"Goram it kid, let's frak this thing and go home! Engage!"
I could see Adam Driver being Jacen though the age difference between him and Daisy Ridley would make me think they'd no longer be twins. Which is kinda what I'd like to see when it comes to the EU. Basically treat it like the comics when doing a comic book movie. They might grab a character here or there and change bits and pieces to fit what they're trying to do. Maybe the ages will be different. Maybe they won't do something significant that they did in the EU. Still more or less they'll be the big screen interpretation of those characters. That would be fine with me.
I did read that they recently reiterated that Episode VII will not be a story from the EU. Many fans are taking this as meaning they are completely whipping away the EU. That's not how I read that statement. I take it at face value that they aren't adapting any EU story. To me that doesn't mean the movie will be devoid of any EU material. I mean heck Coruscant wasn't a Lucas creation. It came from the EU and he liked it enough to put it in the movies. That's pretty much what I'm looking for.
However, at the same time a major change from the EU would leave me upset. For instance dropping Jacen or Anakin entirely and/or introducing totally different offspring for the Solo/Skywalker clan. Some say this is inevitable. I still hold out hope that they won't stray that far.

I have to admit I don't have a clue as to where this new episode is going. That is good I guess.
Hey SECOND, is that you with Mark Hamil?

Driver was said to be the villain when he was cast a month ago, and I really doubt they're leaping directly to Sith Jacen, so I think thats out.
Im sure they'll probably use some elements, but they'll likely be small, like planet names and such. The prequel trilogy already wiped out a lot of EU stuff written before they came out (including characters and back-stories) - so Id expect it to happen again. There's just not enough people even aware of it to make it worth being faithful to, from the corporate POV.

BTW, I saw that you tried to sneak in a hidden message about voter fraud. Come on, this is a happy thread, NO POLITICS or Darth will give you the invisible choke hold.
It was hidden. So well hidden, in fact, I have no idea of what you mean.
Guess I'm that good.

You have no idea about the blackened text you added to your sig?
Riiiiiiiiight.

I've been looking forward to this about as much as I did Abrams' second Trek film. Meaning, not at all.

OK, my mistake

My only hope is that JJ doesn't homogenize it, much like Episodes 1,2 & 3
