Adam Driver is ready to travel to a galaxy far, far, away.

Sources tell Variety that while no deal is done yet, the “Girls” actor is close to signing on to play the villain in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars: Episode VII.” Exact details are unknown, but the character is said to be in the vein of iconic “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader.

I'm excited to see where they go with this. I know zero about this actor.

I've only seen him in Girls...so that's not saying much about his acting ability. I'm shocked more people aren't freaking out on here.

Aside from the fact Ledger made me decide not to ever listen to internet fanboys freaking out about stuff like this, I feel like since the prequels, they really can't do any worse.

So I guess they are going to make him a Sith Lord or something.

I'll be impressed/exceed my expectations if he's good in the role. Not that he's "bad" on Girls but...it's Girls.

I'd only be freaking out if he is suppose to be some badass supervillian in one of the most iconic spacesuits ever designed; but only shows up in the last 5 minutes of third and final episode.

It'll be a bunch of CGI crap (battle scenes, scenery, ect.), with a Jedi vs Sith fight, and some stupid love story thrown in the middle of it. I think that will basically sum it up.

He's one of the only, well i dont want to say redeeming qualities, but he is one of the only watchable people on the show.

it would be pretty hard to do considering how weak the prequels were.

Seriously. This movie will probably be at least coherent.
