    I expecting her now to say "I dont serve the Republic. I serve Master Skywalker". ;)
    and another scene where one of the leads asks Brienne (as I will forever call her) "I always wondered why some Jed felt the need to carry two lightsabers"

    My guess is that she is playing a bit part. Like wedge or someone of that nature.

    I sure hope that's not the case. I want to see her as a bodyguard, protecting Luke or Leia or something.

    She's so good in GoT so it's understandable! But I kind of want her to be a totally different character from Brienne and be evil.

    She could pull off an imperial officer. I don't see her as a Jedi/Sith character. She could also be playing an alien.

    My first thought, like others here, was Nightsister. In fact I am guessing that both Gwendoline, and Lupita are Sith. I think this Trilogy will have more Sith Characters than just the customary 2 Rule.


    Now all we need is Judi Dench to play Mother Talzin. :p

    The whole SW canon could benefit from a generation of Jedi that comes between the Big 3 and their descendents. They could serve as master figures to the new leads coming up as welling as being compelling characters on their own in the period between the ST and the OT.

    I've never seen Gwendoline act, but it seems she could fill this sort of role really well.

    This is a hard one to call - I don't see her as Luke's wife or a descendent of the big3 .... maybe a villain - tall sith woman could be good.......

    I absolutely LOVE this casting! Love her to death in GoT! I'm very curious and excited to see what sort of role she'll play here!

    Gwendoline Christie just looks like an antagonistic character to me in this movie. I can see her playing a character on the dark side of the force. Maybe the "other half" of Adam Driver. Or maybe the daughter of Max Von Sydow's character (Darth Plagueis).

    I'm just speculating. She knows how to wield a sword pretty well in GOT. A Light Saber is a no brainer in this case. Whether its Sith or Jedi remains to be seen.

    Here's a few clips from GoT that might give you a good idea for Gwen (Slighty NSFW due to violence and language) All three feature her fighting:

    Even as a huge Mara Jade fan and Gwendoline Christie fan, I'd be very unhappy if she was cast as her. She'd literally be a in name only character if they did that casting choice.

    She is tall enough to be Lumiya though, who's also got red hair. Though about 20/30 years too young.

    Very true... i wouldnt mind them changing her back story too much, after all its not like we'll be getting any Jacen going darkside just like he did over 20 books like he did in the EU or Young Luke stories any time soon where the bulk of her characters stories lie. But her design works pretty well and translates to just about any time period.

    Fighting with a lightwhip is neat too. It worked well enough on the clone wars show. Be the firat time any movie only fans see it, they might react to it like movie only fans did to Maul and his double sided saber (which Exar Kun did long before him in the EU).

    I doubt she'll be Lumiya, but I do think a character with a similar conception and design could certainly work (cyborg darksider). I could easily see her ending up behind a full face helmet or rebreather, and her voice is rather hoarse and gravely which would work well with that sort of design I think.
