Lupita Nyong'o Up For Star Wars Episode VII Role
How do you top winning an Oscar? Getting a role in the new Star Wars is one way to go.
Latino Review reports, and THR confirms (though in less certain terms) that 12 Years a Slave star Lupita Nyong'o may be "very close" to one of the lead roles in JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII.
Which role is it though? It's not one of the two leads rumored to be Skywalker offspring. It could be, as THR says, a daughter or granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had long been envisioned as a part for a non-Caucasian actress. Meanwhile, Latino Review believes it could be in a villainous capacity, maybe a Sith.
Really hope this one happens.
