With edging towards a production start date, a possible casting breakdown has emerged online, giving some potential clues to the direction the new film will head in.

The team at have g🌟ot their hands on a casting synopsis which outlines thꦰe key characters of the new film, with a young female protagonist top of the list.

The breakdown reads as follows:

- Late-teen female, indep༒endent, good sense of humour, fit.

- Young twenty-something male, witty and sma꧒rt, fit but not traditionall🃏y good looking.

- A late twenty-something maleಞ, fit, handsome and confident.

- Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’t need to be⛦ particularly🎃 fit.

- A second y꧑oung female, also late teens, tough,ꦐ smart and fit.

- Forty something male, fit, military type.

- Thirtysomethin🎐g male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to 🃏be fit.

We like the inclusion of “good sense of humour”꧟ as a requirement for the leading role. No sour-pusses please…

Whether or not the breakdown is leg🦂it remains to be seen, but the site claims to be 100% convinced of its veracity. If nothing else, it should provide plenty of grist for the rumour mill.

Directed by J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: Episode VII will open in the UK in May 2015.

Oh, and for an idea of who could nab the roles, we've been asking a few of Hollywood's biggest stars if they'd 🌌like to get involved.꧂..
