The Star Wars: Episode VII cast is still expanding, it seems, with a Game Of Thrones face becoming the next one to join the bill.
Miltos Yerolemou is the next actor to be hired for the sci-fi blockbuster, which began filming earlier this year following the initial recruitment of Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, Adam Driver, John Boyega and Max von Sydow among others.
Yerolemou will reportedly play a minor character, according to BBC News, with plot details staying under wraps. A recent rumour suggested that the movie will revolve around the discovery of an old Jedi artefact - the lightsabre Luke Skywalker lost during THAT fight with Darth Vader, with his hand still attached.

Returning to previous roles will be Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, Mark Hamill as Skywalker, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Kenny Baker as R2-D2. Since filming kicked off, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, Crystal Clarke, Pip Anderson and Christina Chong have also been tapped.
JJ Abrams directs, with the movie - the first in a new trilogy - out in December 2015. Its official title is yet to be announced.
