    American Crystal Clarke cast in Episode VII.

    [​IMG]

    Is she the only American that's been cast so far? Most of the new folks are British. And is she Rachel? If so, can we assume we'll see her on Tatooine?

    Here are some other pictures of her:

    She's beautiful and as a female fan, it's always great to have another woman on-board. Can't wait to learn more about her role!

    Hmm. It'll be interesting to see what role she plays. Her and Lupita, and possibly Maisie, being cast make me more hopeful that Daisy is a Solo child, BTW.

    Her name sounds like something you'd see in a comic book.
    Anywho, cue the "Oh she's playing Lando' daughter" rumors. ;)

    Definitely think this is "Rachel" and that she is the other late teen female on the casting list. Meaning that Daisy Ridley isn't "Rachel" after all, as I always suspected. So maybe we can finally put that one to bed now, with a bit of luck.

    And of course, great to have another lady. They are certainly making up for the lack of SW women in this one!

    It's pretty cool to know that they in fact did find actors in those open calls. I wish her good luck!

    Betting money that she's related to Maisie Richardson-Sellers' character.

    When you make an open call for Star Wars there is a pretty good chance that people will show up. :)

    It's odd to me that they haven't confirmed Maisie. Does she just have a minor role and Crystal and Pip's are larger? I can't imagine either of these two new people are going to have a ton of screen time.

    Regardless, it is really cool that they've cast three women of color in this movie. That's pretty awesome for a Hollywood blockbuster.

    I'd assume Maisie's role is smaller, yeah. I wouldn't expect them to announce these two unknowns separately from anyone else unless they are playing some sort of major role.

    it's great that there are so many new characters we don't know.

    Since they haven't announced Maisie, I agree that her role is probably small. But Pip and Crystal may also have small roles, and the reason they may have been announced could be because they are the two characters from the open call, so they know many people will be very curious about who eventually won those roles.

    Crystal's character:


    ETA: Both roles are listed as "Lead" on Backstage.com.

    I can't imagine she has a huge role since it's being announced well into filming and there are already so many others actors who have been cast. I'm thinking making something along the lines of like a Panaka or Valorum - a named character with a number of lines, but not hugely important overall.

    Also this made me laugh:

    She isn't the only American among the new cast members; Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac are also American. Also, Gleeson is Irish, Sydow is a Swede, and Lupita is Mexican and Kenyan. I think Serkis, Ridley, Boyega, and Gwendoline Christie are the only confirmed members of the new cast who are from Britain.

    Edited to mention Gwendoline Christie :)

    Ah, yes, I completely forgot about Christie :) That is what happens with all of the new casting info coming out in quick succession. I guess the new cast does skew a little bit British.

    How late am I? Have we begun speculation on if she is the spawn of Lando?

    She is definitely Lupita`s sister/cousin/clone/decoy.

    There's been absolutely no confirmation for Maise. I'd say that this Crystal girl go the role Maisie was going to have which is likely small.

    We're looking at what I had presumed-an open casting call that was announced to be a lead role but ended up being a small role which was always the intended plan.
