Simon Pegg To Appear In Episode VII?

According to IGN Middle East, Simon Pegg, known by some for his work with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost and by most for his role as Scotty in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot, was spotted on-set in Abu Dhabi shooting scenes for Episode VII.  There is no indication as to the size of the role which could be something as small as a wink to the audience for Pegg’s established geek cred and prior collaborations with JJ Abrams.

Thank you to Darth Mire for bringing this to our attention.
