In what way is he connected to Star Wars EP 7?


I don't understand how he is connected to the Star Wars Ep7 movie.

In the most articles with J.J. there is always the mention of Simon Pegg..

explain pls ;)

He's a big Star Wars fan, he's starring in Star Trek directed by JJA, who is now lined up to direct SW Ep7

I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.

He's not.


God, Santa, unicorns, Bigfoot.

He might get to be an alien or some background character because of his relationship to J.J.

He's friends with JJ Abrams and is a huge Star Wars fan. He was in Star Trek, directed by Abrams and was in MI Ghost Protocol, produced by Abrams.

I think Simon Pegg will never talk to JJ Abrams again if he doesn't cast him in Star Wars Ep7...

^^ that's i want to know... i always believed Simon Pegg will be in SW7.

But i don't think it's a good idea.. Because he's already in Star Trek.

And Star Trek and Star Wars are not the same.


It's like James Cameron didn't want Biehn in Avatar because of Aliens.. (with Weaver)

Well, R2D2 was in Star Trek

He isn't connected to it (yet). He is a huge Star Wars fan and has worked with JJ Abrams in the past, so its a natural assumption to think that he might be asked to be in the new film.

Actually, he talked about this in his recent interview in Geek magazine. He noted that he isn't going to be begging Abrams to be in the film and has not been asked as of yet. The way he put it was that he is going to enjoy the film no matter what, and if Abrams wants him in it he is sure Abrams will let him know.

It would be neat if they offered him a role, but as with the original Star Wars I think they need to go with no name actors so we aren't focused on watching the actor, and not the story.
