'Star Wars 7' Casting News, Rumors: Is Adam Driver playing Han Solo and Leia's son in J.J. Abrams' 'Episode VII'?

A new rumor concerning Girls star Adam Driver's Star Wars: Episode VII character has emerged and it's different than earlier reports. Before, we thought that Driver was taking on the role of the villain in J.J. Abrams' new project, but it's a little more complicated than that.

According to this new rumor, Driver is actually set to play the son of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). This doesn't mean the antagonist rumor is false though because reports claim the Dark Side will sway his character!

Jedi News reports:

He will be playing the son of Han and Leia, and it seems he will be seduced to the Dark Side, and a main plot point of the movie will be their attempt to rescue him.

What do you think of this new rumor? Should we consider this to be part of the plot or not? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Meanwhile, principle filming on J.J. Abrams' new movie started today!

The National reports:

Our sources also report that the sets are getting closer to completion, with a "whole world" having been built on an otherworldly salt lake at one location, a "shuttle-like" spacecraft, a large tower, a "big, centuries-old-looking market", something the crew are reportedly referring to as the "alien house" and 10 to 15 "really fast buggies" powered by jet engines (landspeeders of Tatooine fame from the previous films, perhaps?) We have also been told that two lorries of explosives have been brought to one of the sites under high security and that a blast crater has been created. So, it looks like the action in Abu Dhabi could be set to feature a major battle or spacecraft crash of some description.
