'Star Wars 7' Title News, Casting SPOILERS & Plot Rumors [VIDEO]: Warwick Davis Joins J.J. Abrams' 'Episode VII' - What Character Will He Play?

A great new video update from Disney and Lucasfilm debuted this week, announcing the not so surprising casting of Warwick Davis in Star Wars: Episode VII. The actor appeared as an Ewok in Return of the Jedi, and has appeared in the prequel movies as well, so it's great to see him joining the cast of the J.J. Abrams film! With a release date set for December 2015, we still don't have an official title but we have a cast rounding out quite well.

In this great announcement video, Davis talks to the camera in a fun little skit about getting the role. Apparently he had to wait quite a while before Abrams called him to offer him a part, but he was definitely excited to join the cast.

Check out this video announcement right here:
