The latest internet casting buzz is "Kick-Ass" star Chloë Grace Moretz appearing in director Jj Abrams' upcoming Lucasfilm feature "Star Wars: Episode VII", with Moretz herself as the source of the rumors.
The actress has tweeted that watching "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" has being 'productive'.
"Yeah, I mean I can’t really speak about it," said Moretz in a recent interview about her possible involvement in the new film.
"It’s exciting and it would be a very cool thing to be a part of and I think Jj’s brilliant...but we'll see."

Looks like "Star Wars VII" is finally starting to pick up some steam. Last week, two more actors were revealed to be in the running for key roles in the upcoming "Star Wars" trilogy: Ksenia Solo and Liam McIntyre. Allegedly, Solo is up for the role of Han and Leia's daughter while McIntyre is in talks to play an as-of-yet unnamed Jedi.
This, of course, means that Ksenia Solo and Rachel Hurd-Wood may or may not be directly competing for the role of Leia's daughter, who has been said to potentially be the main protagonist of the film. While this is all well and good, we can't help but wonder what mysterious Jedi McIntyre will be portraying. After all, there are several key Jedi in the Star Wars Expanded Universe ripe for the picking. Take Kyp Durron for example, a Jedi who was at one point possessed...
