J.J. Abrams has a tradition of putting his childhood friend and actor Greg Grunberg (Heroes, Alias) in every movie he makes. That, of course, has led to speculation that he would have to appear in Star Wars: Episode VII to keep the streak alive. On Thursday, Grunberg put the speculation to rest when he answered a Twitter question thusly:
Yes @smgulz it IS safe to assume I have a role in #StarWarsEpisodeVII – If I say more than that, JJ will have me killed.

And there you go. Will we see a Greg Grunberg as a Jedi action figure? Keep your fingers crossed!
