Is Adam Driver Playing Han Solo's Son in STAR WARS: EPISODE VII?
When it was first announced that Girls actor Adam Driver had been cast in Star Wars: Episode VII, word on the street was he would be playing the main villainous Sith in the J.J. Abrams-directed film. It looks like there's a little bit more to it than that, though. According to a source for Jedi News, Driver will also be playing the son of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Here are the details they offer in their report.
Possible SPOILERS ahead:
"Sounds like Adam Driver is NOT going to play a villain...sort of. He will be playing the son of Han and Leia, and it seems he will be seduced to the Dark Side, and a main plot point for the movie will be their attempt to rescue him."
This is just a rumor at the moment, but a rumor that could turn out to be true. I think that Driver has the perfect look for a dark, Sith villain, but now that this rumor has been thrown out there, I can kind of see him playing the son of Han and Leia as well.
It would only make sense for at least one of the kids of the main characters to be seduced by the Dark Side. It was recently reported that Han Solo would have a large co-starring role in the film, and this bit of information would make sense if he was to go on a journey to help prevent his son from the joining the Dark Side.
