Game Of Thrones Star Cast In Star Wars Episode VII

In case there was any doubt that the Star Wars sequels will involve a little energy-based swashbuckling, Lucasfilm have apparently cast Game of Thrones swordsman Miltos Yerolemou in Star Wars Episode VII, the BBC reports.

They note that Yerolemou played swordsman Syrio Forel in the hit HBO fantasy drama and has often played parts involving swordfighting during his career. His part is expected to be minor.

We can consider this reliable but unofficial information, as BBC say that Lucasfilm declined to comment on the casting.
