    As some may remember there was a rumour that went around in March and featured on this very site. The rumour was that the Original Trilogy characters were to be recasted and the female lead was to be Mara Jade. Now there are two different explanations I have been told as to what exactly started this weird rumour. One is the idea that there are definitely flashbacks in the film and it leaked and was exaggerated over and over. Then there is the explanation that it was BS made up by a Latino Review source. I say this because at the time that is where I got all my info from, a source from Latino Review. He even sent me supposed dialogue from the script, and detailed sketches of characters when I began to doubt the recast. It was all fake so why keep them. Anyway I got in touch with this site and spread word of the recast rumour under the name TheWARSGuy back in March, which I regret and since then have learned not to trust any source associated with Latino Review because it is most likely complete BS.

    Well hello there Kris. :)
    Actually you were not the only one who shared with us the recast rumors, that's why I decided to post them. I still believe there was some kind of recasting process going back then, but obviously it was not for Episode VII. And thank the Maker.

    Hey, thank you for being a stand-up guy and explaining this. Ballsy and comendable.

    In your defense though every bit of rumor and speculation will get propogated like the plague because this is Star Wars. And, ultimately, real or no, it's all in good fun!

    Well, there's a lot of middle ground in there. Similar to the old rumor that VII would be called, "A New Dawn," which turned out to be a legit title for a different product, we don't know that the recast rumors were complete BS. With a spinoff every 2 years, I don't think it's unlikely that this was just a case of confused context.
