Filming on the movie wrapped up last week.

In addition to the original stars like Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, "Episode VII" will feature a slew of newbies, including "Girls" star Adam Driver, Andy Serkis and Oscar nominee Max von Sydow.

Since then, Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie from "Game of Thrones" have also joined the cast.

"I could not be more excited about Lupita and Gwendoline joining the cast of Episode VII," Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy told Starwars.com in June. "It's thrilling to see this extraordinarily talented ensemble taking shape."

Nyong'o also posted her excitement on Instagram.

"I can finally say it out loud and proud: I'm going to a galaxy far far away!" she wrote.
