We predict what J.J. may do now that he's cast Gwendoline Christie and we like it a lot!

If You've read the last round of Star Wars spoilers from Badass Digest, you'd know they believe that John Boyega's (Attack the Block) character in Episode VII will in fact be a rogue Storm Trooper who teams up with Daisy Ridley's female lead to go in search of Luke Skywalker. Well, now they have some more info on a different character who they reckon will tie in with Boyega's -- one who'll be played by Brienne of Tarth herself, Gwendoline Christie. According to the site, the 6ft 3 actress will play an Imperial Officer -- specifically Boyega's commanding officer -- who will be chasing the deserter down over the course of the movie. Not only that; they also hear that this character may have been gender swapped from the original script, and speculate that it might have been the role Benedict Cumberbatch was up for. That's all hearsay of course, but they do feel confident in Christie's role at the very least. If true, what do you think? Would she suit the role? Or were you hoping she'd be playing a good guy/Jedi? Sound off below.

She's a good actress on GOT, so I'm sure she'll be good in Star Wars.

I like this whole AWOL Storm Trooper story they plan on doing (if this is true).

I thought all the Storm Troopers are clones, though? I'm not really all that knowledgeable on SW lore.

@ McGee - Lols, only a chump gets beaten by his woman.


Okay, so someone hook a brother up, neither Boyega nor Christie are Jedi? Are we going to see any lightsaber action? Cause I'm seconds away from not being interested in this movie.

It's all hearsay. I read multiple versions of what The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were going to be like before their movies came out and each time they were way off. Sure there is a scene here and there that will be leaked that is accurate, but for the most part this stuff is all bunk. Just wait and see...

OR, maybe there's much more too it all and it just hasn't been revealed yet??

But no, you're right, prob just retarded writers.

@ Ckal - A commanding officer can't dessert silly, especially if they have a justified reason to be away from their post.

@RorMachine

Why you gotta bring logic? Isn't the point to completely overreact to every piece of news that comes out? Is that not the Jedi way?

Still stormtroopers 30 years after the Ewoks saved the universe (and the heroes of the movies did jack shit except spin their wheels)? Sounds stupid. The Empire is dead. Killed by 3 foot tall mini-wookies, slightly smarter than dogs. God Lucas sucked.

Pretty sure I'd take instructions from Gwendoline in the bedroom, too.



Why'd you hit it?

Because it was there, man.

Going by these rumours, I feel fairly confident in saying that we will be seeing a sort of castrated Sith lord who channels his/(her?) force/raw sexual energy through his/(her?) lightsaber/synthetic strap-on/third leg and expels it via forced-induced auto-erotic asphyxiation.

At least, that's what I took from this.
