It was just confirmed that R2-D2 will be in Ep. VII, which should come as no surprise as the story of Star Wars is largely told from the point of view of the two droids.
However, there are plenty of other rumours flying about, not least the title...
Star Wars VII: A New Dawn
Personally, I think it is just that. A rumour. Too much like A New Hope and really too simplistic for a series that has gone more descriptive with its titles since the first instalment.
The casting calls for 16-18 year old men and women, together with the age of Ford, Hamill and Fisher, could suggest that Jacen and Jaina Solo, the twin offspring of Han Solo and Princess Leia.
The rumour I have heard that I like the most though is the potential presence of Benedict Cumberbatch as a villain. Now, the rumours suggest that he will play a Sith trained by Palpatine during the previous triliogy and guided by the dead emperor's Force spirit.
However, I would just love to see Cumberbatch as the blue skinned, red-eyed, art-collecting, well-read Chiss, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Throw in someone to play the increasingly unstable Dark Jedi, Joruus C'boath (an aged Tom Hiddlestone would be great, especially as Loki is quite a similar character to C'boath - cool calm exterior masking an increasing derangment inside) and you have a trilogy for Expanded Universe, film and casual fans alone.
