    “Star Wars VII”: Rumor Roundup, Female Stormtroopers!

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    In a galaxy far far away, it would appear the Empire has broken some stereotypical employment factors, and gotten themselves at least one female stormtrooper.  We already know about John Boyega’s character, so chances are we’ll be seeing a less than traditional batch of maybe-not-entirely-clone army.

    Mostly we say this because of this tweet:

    And then this followup tweet:

    We have it on good authority that Leanne Best (Ripper Street)  is noted as being credited as an actress on Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  Hopefully, we’ll get more news after the big Star Wars: Celebration convention in April.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 15th, 2015.
