    Funny thing is, I think John Boyega could have used his real name in the movie. Finn Boyega definitely sounds like a SW character.

    And there's probably a few million Africans that think Western names are pretty weird as well :p

    Has she been announced as a villain? Haven't heard...

    No doubt ep 8 will have bounty hunters!

    Since Finn is a deserter, if Gugu plays a bounty hunter that would suit him well! Bounty hunters are bad guys... ;)

    Very happy with this casting, not only because she's a very good actress but because it's someone else on the 'has been in both Doctor Who and Star Wars' axis, which makes my nerd-brain happy.:)

    According to her in the interview posted above, it's a shortening of her full first name- Gugulethu, which means "Our Pride" in Zulu.

    I don't believe I seen her acting a villain yet. I could be wrong.

    All of her roles that I've seen she play good guy.

    Yes, you mentioned that already. Anything more intelligent to offer or will you keep spamming this thread by laughing at a name because it sounds different?

    True. But usually there's a rumor bracket next to the project in question if its just a rumor still...

    I've never seen her in anything before, but hopefully she's talented. Looks don't matter.

    I would love to see her in the film. Just would not want any paint or mask to cgi her beauty.
