Weeks ago, director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm finally lifted the veil on the cast of "Star Wars: Episode VII." The cast includes Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Max von Sydow, Andy Serkis and more. Of course, original trilogy actors Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker and Peter Mayhew are on board as well.

"Star Wars: Episode VII" lands in theaters on December 18, 2015.
