Aaron Paul Responds to 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Casting

There are also rumors going around that "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul will have a major role in "The Force Awakens." According to Entertainment Wise, the rumors started when Jason Ward, editor-in-chief of the Making Star Wars website, said that Paul will portray Harrison Ford's Han Solo role in the "Star Wars" spin-off film.

Paul addressed the rumor on Twitter with an article link attached to it. The tweet reads: "Who's starting these rumors? This one is actually making me believe I have a job in 2015. Very exciting. #StarWars."

Entertainment Wise added that the actor was also previously reported to portray Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker. Fans went berserk when Paul tweeted, "It's official! I will be playing Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Give me my light saber!! Dreams are real my friends."

But it turned out that the role was only for a staged reading of "The Empire Strikes Back," which Paul confirmed on a follow-up tweet, saying, "To everyone that thinks I'm playing Luke Skywalker in the new movie...bless you. The link I posted talks about a staged reading I'm doing."
