We’ve got our hands on the first real casting breakdowns of characters from the next Star Wars movie. What’s more, we’ve verified that these are lead characters – though not necessarily to be billed in the order below.

I want to stress Bleeding Cool have 100% confirmed that the following is accurate and that the open casting started today in the UK.

Late-teen female, independent, good sense of humour, fit.

Young twenty-something male, witty and smart, fit but not traditionally good looking.

A late twentysomething male, fit, handsome and confident.

Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’t need to be particularly fit.

A second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and fit.

Forty something male, fit, military type.

Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.

Are these character details, or dating profiles? GSOH, physically fit…

But seeing as they’re looking for two teenage girls, chances are that rumour about a teenage female lead has something to it…

Open casting call in the UK. Gonna sign up, Seafort?

Interesting list, there. 70-something male, Han Solo?

I think he may already be cast.

[Lt. Staplic]

too bad I don't live in the UK. witty and smart, and not traditionally good looking. that part's been written for me.

Oh, right, Harrison Ford himself. I still have a bad feeling about that.

[Tsukiyumi]

I don't. Ford is still a great actor, IMO.

[Tyyr]

Probably someone to take Luke's spot.

I just find it interesting they want late teen girls but early twenties or later guys.

I just find it interesting they want late teen girls but early twenties or later guys.

I'd be surprised if they actually bucked that trend.

[Tyyr]

Yeah but still, it seems incredibly sexist.

[Mikey]

Yeah but still, it seems incredibly sexist.

It most definitely is incredibly sexist. It is also most definitely par for the course.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I don't. Ford is still a great actor, IMO.

Yeah, he's great and he defined Han... but I'm just not sure he'd be right to reprise Han's role.

[Griffin]

So long as he's not han in any big role then I think he can do it.

[McAvoy]

Is this a reboot or a sequel? Overall I really have no interest in making this into a teenager movie.

[Tyyr]

Pretty sure this is a sequel. Disney isn't stupid.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Well, most of the time they're not.
