Although the article’s not online yet, the new Entertainment Weekly evidently has some info about the Star Wars: Episode VII casting. First, as you might have heard, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford were actually planning to do the movie all along, since before Disney purchased Lucasfilm. Secondly (and you may have heard this, too, but it’s a big deal), Han Solo is going to be one of the film’s leads along with three of the younger characters. Go ahead and pore back over the casting announcement if you want to speculate on who those three will be, but be warned: There’s still one major female role to be cast.

Speaking of buddy comedies, here’s what Julie Klausner had to say about her and Billy Eichner’s new pilot, Difficult People: “In terms of what other shows it can be compared to, I looked to Curb Your Enthusiasm as an inspiration for the tone and structure of the script. Our characters are pretty Larry David–esque in that we go through our irritable, neurotic lives getting pissed off at perfectly pleasant people making small social transgressions.”
