ST Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma) in Episode VII

I hope they cast Jane Lynch as her stunt double.

 

I was thinking this as well. If they're tackling the whole Nightsisters thing, you gotta have Talzin in there. Christie would certainly be tall enough. Of course, I understand it's probably more likely that they're playing new characters we know absolutely nothing about, but still, I could see it. (BTW, that "darkside" pic really does remind me of Mother Talzin/the Nightsisters, so I wonder...)

 

Luke's daughter ?

 

Yep that's the first thing that came to mind! She's definitely wielding a light saber!

 

Mandalorian, maybe?

 

That could work. I think with her height and her experience with fighting, it's going to be some physical role. I can't see her as a senator just sitting around!

 

Maybe Von Sydow's Characters Daughter.

 

Gwendoline's Announcements is the most interesting. She going to rock the light saber!

 

I've seen some speculation that since she looks a little like Palpatine (before the wrinkles) she could be his daughter - or grandniece:

 

Never seen her act (Which is the case of all the actors/actresses here besides the Big Three and Co), but she seems like a very cold-hearted militaristic type, just off appearance. I read she's also very tall for a female, which makes me wonder if that will come into play at all.

 

A red wig (or hair dye) - and she could be Daala?

 

I'm not familiar with this actress at all (I absolutely loathed the first Game of Thrones book so I have actively avoided the show), but judging by look alone, I think she definitely has some star wars qualities. Will be glad to see what role she's given.

 

Wouldn't it be the other way around?

 

Yes. A Chiss villain.

It's too bad that her name is already Gwendoline, because that is such a good "character" name. Credits are going to look funny if it's like "Jane Smith - Gwedonline..."

 

I hope she's a badass jedi or sith that dual weilds different colored lightsabers.

 

I think she'll be a villain. She's great on Game of Thrones as a good guy but I'd love to see her play evil. She's got the right stature for it too. We need some more Mandos, so I hope she's Mandalorian. It would also be great if her first scene was like her first scene on GoT where she's decked out in full armour kicking ass, lol

 

Has everybody also forgotten that she's in the next Hunger Games

 

I really love her in GOT, but I'm hoping that her character in this is distinctly different. I can definitely see her owning a villain role.

 

???

You referring to a quote? If so, where?

 

I can't believe how many people on here haven't watched Game of Thrones!

 

Love her on GoT, happy with her joining a galaxy far far away.

 

Okay, who wants to bet we will hear: "Aren't you too tall for a stormtrooper?"

 

Here's a handy article over at the Hollywood Reporter for anyone who may not be familiar with Gwen yet:
