JJ Abrams is apparently thinking about casting unknowns faces in the upcoming 'Star Wars Episode 7' in order to ensure fans aren't 'taken out' of the Star Wars universe whilst watching the film.

While talking to Dweebcast, 'Lost' star Dominic Monaghan said that the director had told him he was putting together a cast of unknowns like 1977's 'Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope', where stars like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher weren't well known at that point, Metro.co.uk reported.

Abrams had also told Monaghan that he doesn't want people to watch the movie and think that the actors were from a different movie because then they would be completely out of the Star Wars universe.
