"Star Wars-Episode 7" Directing & Casting Rumors!

Soooooooooooooooooo the latest rumors on whats happening on over at the Disney camp is that they are on the mad hunt for a new director to helm the 7th film in the long running sci-fi franchise. Word is that the studio are looking at BIG names such as Matthew Vaughn and Robert Rodriguez to helm the new film/trilogy.
Reports are saying that Vaughn left the "X-Men: First Class" sequel to begin talks with Disney to direct the new film, which is set for a 2015 release. With Rodriguez, Disney would be taking a BIG risk seeing as he seems to have lost his touch with the kids seeing as the last "Spy Kids" film was a complete mess. I hardly think Disney would take that risk and left him take on the new "Star Wars". Plus, would Rodriguez go "Spy Kids" style and aim it for the kids or would he play in the best of both worlds like the first three films from the 70's and 80's.
On the news of casting, Mark Hamill has confirmed that he will be returning to the role of Luke Skywalker in some sort of a way. Supposedly he's appearing as a Obi Wan Kenobi type character. This is what Hamill said during an interview,

Hamill revealed, "[George] said, 'Um, how'd you like to be in Episode nine?' This is 1976. 'When is that going to be?' '2011.' I defy anyone to add 36 years to their lives and not be stunned." Hamill then added, "I said, 'Well, what do you want me to do?' George said, 'You'll just be like a cameo. You'll be like Obi-Wan handing the lightsaber down to the next new hope.'"

He said that Carrie Fisher will also be returning and so will Harrison Ford, though it's unsure if he'll appear in any scenes with Fisher or Hamill, seeing as the both hate each other.
An insider has commented on Ford returning by saying,

“Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are,”

THIS FILM COULD BE REALLY GREAT!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CASTING TO SERIOUSLY BEGIN!!!

UPDATE: Carrie Fisher has confirmed that she would love the chance to return as Princess Lea in "Episode 7"...............so that's all three lead cast members confirming that they want to return. Listen to this Disney and don't not include them!!!
