ST What type of role do you think Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie will have?

I'm really happy to see them as apart of the cast. First of all, as a guy, I could tell that there were way too little actresses in the cast before they were added. It's nice to see some more diversity.

I hope they have fairly prominent roles. It would suck to see them only once or twice in the movie. I heard there was still a major female role to be filled when the original cast was announced, so maybe Lupita or Gwendoline will have that. What do you think their roles will be?

 

The general consensus is that GC is playing the part of a lightsabre wielding Chrometrooper who's after the deserter Boyega. Who knows? As for Lupita? The latest as far as I'm aware, is she plays the role of the blue alien who's friends with Rey. Prior to that is was that of a pirate..

 

This can and should be discussed in their respective threads, it doesn't need a new thread.
