A few weeks ago, Lucasfilm announced the official cast for Star Wars Episode IX: The Last Episode. (still no official title, though)
It was pretty exciting news, but no one's been talking about it here yet, so time to change that!
Returning sequel actors:
-Daisy Ridley as Rey -John Boyega as Finn -Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron -Adam Driver as Kylo Ren -Lupita Nyong'o as Maz Kanata -Billie Lourd as Lieutenant Connix -Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico -Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux -Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca
New people:
-Keri Russell -Richard E. Grant -Naomi Ackie
OT veterans:
-Anthony Daniels as C-3PO (obviously) -Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker -Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa (via unused footage from VII and VIII) -Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian (YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!)
So, what do you think? I personally can't wait till Episode IX wraps up the saga next December, and it's nice to see that they're not trying to hide Luke's return, as I'm pretty sure we all knew he'd be back in some capacity. Leia and Lando are certainly the most interesting bits of news in here, so I'm curious to know what you all think about those two.

I am excited Lando is back. Also I wonder how they will end Kylo Ren’s story now that Snoke is gone. Kylo Ren will either live his final moments like his grandfather (be good ) , turn back to the light and live, or get defeated by Rey. Also picturing Luke as a force ghost is kind of weird. What I am excited about the most for this movie is Lando returning. We get to see why he left the Resistance/Rebellion/New Republic. Also we might get to see the purpose of that force sensitive broom kid it might be a foreshadowing of the new Jedi Order at the end of Episode IX. I have enjoyed the Disney canon (probably because I didn’t read the EU/Legends comics and books that took place post episode VI) Lando isn’t one of my favorite characters but he is still cool and I am so happy he’s back.

I agree with a lot of that, definitely glad Lando is back, and I do enjoy the Disney canon for the most part.
