The Hollywood Reporter released an article giving three more names to the rumor of potential actors for Episode VII. Micheal Fassbender from X-Men: First Class, Adam Driver from Girls, and Hugo Weaving from Captain America: The First Avenger. 


There were also some new rumors for changes in the script. "Arndt is said to have focused on the offspring of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), with the original trilogy heroes taking on supporting roles. Abrams, however, wanted Episode VII to focus on the classic trio of characters, so audiences could have one more chance to enjoy them before a fitting send-off. The new characters, the offspring, will now be in supporting roles, according to these sources, and take center stage in Episode VIII and IX. Some characters have disappeared from the Arndt script and new ones are being drafted."

And a role originally meant for a 20 year old male is being rewritten for a 40 year old. The artical also states "The latest bit to surface this week is that Abrams and Lucasfilm are now searching for a 20-something female actress who is either of mixed race or black. The rumor is that Obi-Wan Kenobi had a daughter or granddaughter."

I think using this movie to introduce the offspring is a better idea than just throwing them in as the main characters. Character development is a very important thing in the SWU, and Abrams needs to establish them before giving them their run, as they may be different from what we know of them from the EU, which is now being treated as an "alternate reality' from movie canon.

The only person who obi wan could Of had a daughter wit is Duchess Satine Kryze from mandalore as he dose state in the clone wars series he would have left the order for her but if they had Of had a child together she would be far too old for the character they are wanting. A grandchild would fit in the time line the question I would raise is where did the first child fit in as its not in obi wans nature to break the code as you even hear him in ep1 telling qui gon to follow the code and he would be on the council. So why would obi wan disobey something he has followed for his lifetime?

Fassbender I could see as a awesome bad guy. The Obi-wan having kids rumor is crazy though I don't believe it for 1 second. Let's keep in mind it's just a rumor until it's official from Disney / LFL.
