LOVE STAR WARS! BUT, if the script doesn't have some serious substance, she should run in the opposite direction. Remember Cherlize Theron and Halle Barry? They did superhero roles after they won their Oscars and no one took them seriously for a while afterwards. CatWoman was SO the wrong move for Halle after Monster's Ball. Aeon Flux was better, but still, she could have waited a while before I saw her as an action star.

Would love to see Lupita in the movie, she's a breath of fresh air.

With so much speculation and so many rumours of numerous actors/actresses auditioning for roles in SW7, no one can be definitely ruled out, not least Saoirse Ronan. I think what she was
quoted as saying was, "I didn't get the part". But JJ Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan allegedly rewrote the script around new or different characters around that time, so who knows?
