STAR WARS EPISODE VII Cast Isn't Complete Yet; Another Major Female Role Left
When the cast for Star Wars Episode VII was announced earlier today, some fans were disappointed to not see a larger female presence. Well, they'll be glad to hear that J.J. Abrams hasn't finished casting for the movie and an actress is being sought to fill a major role...
According to The Hollywood Reporter, J.J. Abrams has another "substantial" role to fill in Star Wars Episode VII, despite the main cast being announced by Disney and Lucasfilm earlier today. No further details are known at this point, but it's possible that they're still looking for the young mixed-race female who some sites originally claimed was a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi. 12 Years a Slave star Lupita Nyong'o and relative unknown Maisie Richardson-Sellers were mentioned not too long ago, so don't expect those casting rumours to come to an end just yet!
