Star Wars Episode VII Casting Rumors: Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron may have auditioned for a part in the heavily anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII. 
The Star Wars casting rumors also come soon after Ryan Gosling said he was going to take a time out from acting. The gossips started after Latin Times reported that Gosling made a trip to the studio to have a conversation about playing Luke Skywalker's son in the newest episode of the Star Wars franchise.

LucasFilm immediately derided the dark forces. Quickly putting out a statement to IGN saying the rumors were false and probably some kind of Jedi mind trick. J.J. Abrams is still on board for Episode 7
.
A LucasFilm rep said"There is no truth to the rumor. JJ is having a great time working on the script and is looking forward to going into production next year."

Other casting rumors listed Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill coming back to space.

Devin Faraci, a reporter covering Comic-Con reported that "tons of rumors that JJ Abrams is on the verge of dropping out of Star Wars" were falling on the heads of geeks all over San Diego.

He reported, "This has been something I've heard for a while now, and from multiple insiders. I know that he didn't want to shoot the movie in England and was overruled, but that happened a while ago. This weekend at Comic Con I continued to hear these whispers. No director for [Star] Trek 3 has been found yet - might Abrams end up coming back after all, leaving Star Wars to someone else? I'm expecting Star Wars news out of the German Star Wars Celebration at the end of the month - if there is some sort of announcement of a title or casting and Abrams isn't there, start wondering."

"Star Wars Episode VII" will be released in 2015. Shooting starts next year.
