The BlackBear Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It better mean nothing. I have almost no idea who she is, and I'm already obsessed with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 umm... what does this mean for Daisy Ridley? It is possible to feature more than one woman in a motion picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It is possible to feature more than one woman in a motion picture. Read the article. It says female lead and the casting involves reading alongside Boyega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Read the article. It says female lead and the casting involves reading alongside Boyega. I did read the article... It is still possible to feature more than one woman in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab aeterno Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It is possible to feature more than one woman in a motion picture. Inconceivable! :lol: Honestly though, it seems unlikely that Disney would drop Ridley after one movie, unless the character dies, which looks doubtful. I think it's more likely an indication that Finn and Rey part ways at some point, so whoever is case in the new role spends more time with Finn while Rey is off doing other things. - Think Han/Leia while Luke is off training on Dagobah in Empire. ETA: http://makingstarwars.net/2015/09/three-women-up-for-roles-in-star-wars-episode-viii/Could be related to this (see below). Possible/minor Episode VIII spoiler/speculation.

Rhom Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yes, Han/Leia and Luke split... But no one would call Lando or Yoda another male "lead." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm thrilled she's on the short list an that we're getting a new Star Wars movie a year now. But it's hard to avoid spoilers/speculation* for the movie coming out in two months when they're already casting the next one. It's a bit like reading a teaser for book two when you haven't bought book one yet. "Teaser" is a bit strong. Maybe a better analogy for this board would be Martin talking about how he's thinking of adding a twist to Spring that involves Jon Snow. Wait, what? Can I read Winter first? :) *No, this isn't a call for spoiler tags. This news is everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way lies the Dark Side. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It'd be great to see Maslany in Star Wars. I too wonder what this means for Rey though.Off topic is Orphan Black worth a look?Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 She could be a love interest for Boyega, and Rey isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 She could be a love interest for Boyega, and Rey isn't.If that's the case I hope they haven't created that character solely for the sake of having a love interest. Probably not but Padmé felt that way sometimes to me (she felt much less vital to the story than Leia did, especially in episode 3, which contained like 70% of the story of the prequel trilogy, and all she does is have Luke and Leia. IMO at least).Interesting that they state she's a lead though. SW has always sticked with the same three leads for each trilogy (unless you count Qui-Gon as a lead).
