Last week it was announced that Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong'o had been cast in JJ Abrams up coming Star Wars: Episode VII. Now the guys over at Latino-Review have some minor details on the villains of the film as well as John Boyega's role in the film:
There will be a female villain. Over 50% sure she's a Sith. I'll follow up on this in later weeks.Some are hoping that Nyong'o may be playing The Clone Wars villainous Asajj Ventress but that's pure speculation. Here is also an interview (via Entertainment Tonight) with Nyong'o were shes plays coy on her role in the upcoming space epic
Despite having 30 Years after Jedi to set one up, there is NO New Republic at the start of Episode VII.
Boba-Fett-similar armor is around. Probably not for the man himself. Mandalorians? Clone drama? Still unclear on a plot/character connection.
John Boyega isn’t a Jedi or a Padawan at the beginning of the movie, he’s the one that has the story arc that brings him into Star Wars’ greater universe. It has echoes of Luke’s arc in A New Hope".
