Today, StarWars.com released the first details of what we can expect from Star Wars: Episode VII, including the time and location of shooting, and some hints as to the setting and cast of the film.
The film will begin filming this May at Pinewood Studios in London. Even more interesting, however, is the following comment:
"It has also been confirmed that Star Wars: Episode VII is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, and will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces."
This will put Episode VII somewhere during the New Jedi Order era - but it's important to note that this means little for what we can expect to see in the film, as there's nothing tying producers to the existing EU canon. One thing's for sure though, it looks like we'll definitely be seeing some of our favourite characters returning from the original films!
