Rumors: Major Character Death, Major Villain Actor Pursued

Posted by Dustin on July 22, 2015 at 11:34 AM CST


First off we've got rumors swirling everywhere that Oscar award winning Benicio del Toro (Traffic) is being pursued to play a villain in Star Wars: Episode VIII. Below is an excerpt from TheWrap.com.

Benicio del Toro has the offer to play the villain in “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” multiple individuals familiar with casting process have told TheWrap. Discussions are still in the very early stages, but Disney and Lucasfilm are high on the Oscar-winning “Traffic” star.

Next Epicstream.com is reporting that either Chewbacca, or Han Solo die in Star Wars: The Force Awakens according to their sources.
A source from the set for a popular TV series reached out to us, and said that he spoke to a fellow supporting actor who claimed that he was involved in Star Wars: The Force Awakens for a week or two. He shared some bad news about one of the major characters of the movie. Here's the info the actor shared to Epicstream.com:

"He watched a scene being shot at Greenham common airbase in which Leia is sad and says 'I don't know how he will cope without him', my source told me Han Solo dies, I quizzed him and he said he just presumed, I then asked who was she talking to, he said a couple of Wookiees but now Chewy, I asked him could you have meant that Chewy dies, he said that might of been the case, he didn't know just that one of them does.'


I'm banking it is Han Solo as he's the only one who wanted his character to die in Return of the Jedi over thirty years ago. Time will tell folks, only 5 months to go!
