Rumors regarding Max von Sydow and Daisy Ridley’s “Star Wars: Episode VII” characters have surfaced.

Badass Digest reports von Sydow and Ridley are allegedly key players in the upcoming film. Ridley’s character is supposedly hanging out with von Sydow as she discovers Luke Skywalker’s Jedi relic.
“Remember that I told you the movie begins with the discovery of the lightsaber? Well, it isn't Daisy Ridley who discovers it but rather a blue alien guy,” according to Badass Digest.
“He brings it to a salvage yard where Kira - that seems to be what Ridley's character's name is, or at least what they're calling her on set - sees it. She's hanging out there with von Sydow, who is an old cyborg dude, a guy who maybe has dementia. He talks a lot of nonsense."
“But as soon as that lightsbaber shows up, he gets lucid. He recognizes it. He begins to talk about the old days, name drops a couple of Prequel Trilogy characters, even. And then, after Kira and the alien leave he makes a call to a mysterious figure. ‘It's here,’ he says.”
According to Badass Digest, Kira lives in an AT-AT allegedly on the desert planet of Tatooine. The film’s opening scene will reportedly take place on Kira’s home planet.
“Kira's got a pretty cool place to call home,” Badass Digest reports. “She lives inside an abandoned AT-AT, knocked over on its side. Remember, AT-ATs are 'all-terrain,' so while we saw them only on a snow world, they would work just as easily on the desert planet where Episode VII opens.”
Speaking of past “Star Wars” locations, the Massassi Temple is also rumored to be making an appearance in “Star Wars: Episode VII.” The Lucasfilm production has yet to confirm any details relating to the next “Star Wars” installment.
“Star Wars: Episode VII” will be released to theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
