Could it be coincidence that original Star Wars cast members Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have been spotted in London just as shooting on Star Wars: Episode VII is set to begin there?
Hmmmmm?? Interesting.
There have also been some clues that the threesome may be in London for reasons other than just a nice little trip to London-town.
Entertainment Weekly, in particular, presented some pretty strong clues that the trio are in town to work on director J.J. Abrams highly anticipated sequel to the iconic movie franchise.
The magazine noted that Ford was seen on April 24 at London’s Hakkasan restaurant, and on Saturday, he was snapped chatting with the pilots of London’s air ambulance in Grosvernor Square.
Then, Fisher tweeted:
So my do dog Gary has been spotted in London, but apparently without me. Who has he been seeing? Let me know if you have any clues.

So it looks like Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher & Harrison Ford really are in the new Star Wars:

And actor Peter Serafinowicz, who lent his voice to Darth Maul in Episode I, posted a picture of himself with Hamill:
Met up with @HamillHimself in London today. I wonder why he's here. pic.twitter.com/zXpnxWaHyN

And then,
Still can't quite believe I met Mark Hamill yesterday.

According to Mike Fleming Jr., writing for Deadline, Harrison Ford will have a sizable role in the film.
“The new cast members will join returning Star Wars alums Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. The big surprise, I’m told, is that Ford has a gigantic role in the first of the next three films,” said Fleming. “Disney hasn’t been commenting on any of this, and today’s no different. Stay tuned.”
