According to Empire Online, here´s what´s going on:
"If you're waiting desperately for the casting announcements to begin for Star Wars: Episode VII,
you may soon be in luck. A casting call for the film has gone out to
agencies, and it lists seven character types that J.J. Abrams and his
team are trying to fill for what are, reportedly, leading roles. Here
are the sort of people they're after for these seven parts.
Late-teen female, independent, good sense of humour, fit.
Young twenty-something male, witty and smart, fit but not traditionally good looking.
A late twentysomething male, fit, handsome and confident.
Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’ t need to be particularly fit.
A second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and fit.
Forty something male, fit, military type.
Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.
What
can we conclude from this? Well, very little, but it does lend itself
to wild speculation. There have been rumours that Michael Arndt's script
has a female protagonist, which this does not contradict - although
Bleeding Cool, who originally picked up the call, notes that this is not
necessarily credit order, so that first role doesn't necessarily
correspond to Luke Skywalker.
The calls for a cast that is largely "fit" makes it a safe call that there will be action, in case that were ever
in doubt, and while we're wildly speculating it looks like any romance
will be between very young women and slightly older men. There's no
mention of prosthetics or performance capture here, so for the moment
let's assume that these people are all playing human-looking beings
rather than more alien / droid types."
