MoviePilot gives a hint about these spoilers following the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" release. One thing is sure that there is a possibility that many of the actors that portrayed roles in this seventh installment will be moving forward to the "Star Wars" Episode VIII. "Star Wars" producer Kathleen Kennedy talks about this succeeding plans for the movie.

"There will be a handful of new cast members in Episode VIII but also all the cast members you see here tonight will be in it as well," Kennedy said based on the article.

Although Kennedy was completely mum about the details, Yahoo Entertainment shares that actors Daisy Ridley who portrayed Rey will return on the next installment. Aside from Ridley, Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), John Boyega (Finn) will be seen again on the next installment.

Adding up to the cast for "Star Wars" Episode VII is Benicio Del Toro whose portrayal is still unknown on the next installment. Although many people suggest that he is a "villain" on upcoming "Star Wars" film, Del Toro tells otherwise.

"People are saying that, but it's like they read a different script than I read," Del Toro hinted on  Entertainment Tonight.

Meanwhile, one of the epic moments in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is when Han Solo was killed by his son Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren. Although, it left many diehard "Star Wars" fans still grieving over the death of Harrison Ford's character, Ford once revealed that he really wants his character Han Solo to die eventually.

"It was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... I thought the best utility of the character would be for him to sacrifice himself to a high ideal and give a little bottom, a little gravitas to the enterprise, not that there wasn't some already but I just wanted in on some part of it," Ford said in the article of BusinessStandard.

"Star Wars: Episode VIII" is slated to release in cinemas on May 26, 2017.
