    So the term "trio of young leads" has been thrown around for a while.
    Who will be a part of this trio?

    I'm thinking it will be Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Domnhall Gleeson as "the children of the Force." ;)

    What do you think?

    From what we're seeing so far, I'm thinking you're right. I'm wondering if the caveat might be that one of the trio won't be human; Daisy and John's little blue friend might hold a bigger role than some of us probably originally thought. It sounds like from reports of other concept art that he sticks with the two of them on their travels away from the desert planet. Is he more of a sidekick, Chewie style, or is he front and center?

    More than likely though, I think that it will be either Daisy, John, and Domnhall, or Daisy, John and Oscar Isaac.

    I don't think the Blue Fella is a part of the trio but rather a sidekick like Chewbacca was to the OT trio of Luke, Han, and Leia.

    I think you're probably right. Do you think that the lack of Domhnall details so far makes it more likely that it will be Daisy, John, and Oscar at the center?

    I actually think we're going to see a quad of new leads (heroes) -- Daisy, John, Oscar and Domhnall, plus sidekick or two.

    I also think the "Children of the Force" was a definite hint or clue to the ST if not the title of Episode VII. It sounds so titular IMO.

    It's a possibility. Domnhall is deffinatly the Wild Card of the cast. I'm still thinking Isaac will be a bad guy, a Mandalorian hunting Luke Skywalker.

    I keep hearing OI mentioned with Mandalorian. Is there any actual basis for this?

    I don't think so. He just looks the part to me. His complection reminds me of Jango & Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, Sabine in Rebels, and Pre Visla in The Clone Wars.

    Good question! The concept art makes it look like just Daisy and John. Ages and filming schedules make it look like just Daisy and John. None of the other young actors seem to be on their level in terms of "new young lead" buzz. It's quite perplexing, since Disney made a point of stating that there would be a "trio".

    If a third young actor doesn't at least approach their level of screentime, I don't see how they can be counted as one of the "New Big 3". Seems more like "Big 2 and Company".

    This is a great point. We have heard nothing of Gleeson and Isaac only as flying the Falcon at some point.

    I'm speculating that Oscar Isaac is the son of Ezra and Sabine, therefore having a Force and Mandalorian tie-in.

    I actually really like that.

    Maybe we will see a Human/Twi'lek hybrid, the child of Kanan and Hera.

    When I first heard Vader say 'Children of the Force', I searched it up thinking there was an old EU childrens novel named that, but nothing came up so I thought that was odd, never hearing that before.

    I know that the new big names are Ridley, Boyega, Gleeson, Driver, and Isaac, but I can't help not thinking of Andersen and Chong as well.

    The first film of the trilogy always introduces us to the characters, maybe they are setting up VIII, and IX having a group of unique Force adepts with different armors and helmets, that would be similiar to The Avengers, X-men, or Justice League, with Luke being a Mastermind and Leia the behind the scene leader in politics.

    I had that same thought, but I just realized we must have been thinking of the book "Children of the Jedi".

    Children of the Force? How about Children of the Atom for you X-Men fans?

    IMHO, "Children of the Force" sounds a lot more like an EU novel than a movie title. But maybe that's just me.

    Oh, we already know about Greg Grunberg -- he will be playing a Gonk droid.
