NNNNNnnnooooo....! As if having JJ Abrams in charge wasn't bad enough, now looney Tom Cruise might have a cameo (having Temuera Morrison in the Prequels was awful enough!) This is from today's local newspaper ...

Cruise talks to director about cameo in new Star Wars
Tom Cruise has reportedly met Star Wars director JJ Abrams in London to discuss the possibility of a cameo appearance in Star Wars: Episode VII.

A film insider told the Sun newspaper that: "Tom [Cruise] has been in London for over a week and met up with JJ [Abrams] and some other people from Star Wars over the weekend.

On Saturday evening five of them met up for dinner and drinks at the Belgravia Hotel.

"JJ directed Mission Impossible 3 and loves working with Tom whenever he gets the chance.

"Losing Harrison Ford [to a broken leg] is going to set things back a little scheduling wise and there's some time to play around with."

The film has already been the cause of intense excitement from fans, as Ford is joined by original Star Wars series castmates Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew. The veteran stars will be joined by Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow, who will continue filming scenes without Ford while he recovers. The injury occurred after Ford, 71, was crushed by a door at Pinewood Studios on 12 June.

Star Wars: Episode VII is likely to be the only Star Wars film that JJ Abrams directs after it was reported that Looper director Rian Johnson would direct Star Wars: Episode VIII and Episode IX.

I kinda like the fact that all the new actors are relatively unknown. It would seem silly to throw Tom Cruise inot that mix.

It was rumoured to be a cameo, so perhaps something like the Bail Organa role in the Prequels (although some of that was cut for the cinema release). There are reports that Cruise is not "starring in" Star Wars ... which technically doesn't mean he still won't have a cameo appearance.

More likely a Ugnaught ... he's the right height, wouldn't need a mask, and has no lines to say ... and hopefully only appears on-screen as he gets blown up in a explosion. ;)
