Awesome Star Wars Casting News Involving The Raid (!?!?)

So, I get home from taking in an afternoon movie (surprise, surprise) and what news do I see to welcome me home? This little nugget courtesy of Twitch. Now, you don't want to click the link, it tells us that Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, and Cecep Arif Rahman have all been cast in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. I am sure there are a lot of you who have no idea who they are. Believe me when I tell you, this is a big deal and is beyond awesome.

Movie Review: The Raid 2

Two years ago The Raid: Redemption popped onto my radar seemingly out of nowhere. The movie was light on plot and heavy on the action. It was a combination that worked extraordinarily well. Sometimes. A tag line that sums up the movie is a good thing. In this case it told is: "1 Ruthless Crime Lord, 20 Elite Cops, 30 Floors of Chaos." That is all you need. It was essentially one big action scene, and it did not disappoint. Now, we are faced with The Raid 2. Is it possible for this to live up to the original? Can we be fortunate enough to not see a rehash of what we have already seen? The answer is an emphatic yes!
