J.J. Abrams has a tradition of putting his childhood friend Greg Grunberg 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 (who famously played the pilot of Oceanic Flight 815 in a cameo) 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!
