TWO more actors have been added to the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

In a statement posted to the film’s official website, filmmakers announced that newcomers Crystal Clarke and Pip Andersen have signed on to star in the hotly anticipated flick.

“Having hunted high and low for young and undiscovered talent, the filmmakers are delighted to announce that two actors from the open call have been cast,” the statement read.

Despite the setback, filming remains “on track” to finish in the coming months, with the film scheduled for release in December 2015.
