Latino Review first reported (and was independently verified by Variety) that British newcomer Christina Chong seems to have been added to the cast of “Star Wars: Episode VII.”
While Latino Review reports that they’re not sure how large her role is, Variety counters that the role is most likely minor.
It’s encouraging that women keep getting added to the cast of “Episode VII” (or allegedly, in this case), but that’s no reason to stop the steady drum beat for better representation in “Star Wars.”
“Star Wars: Episode VII” comes out December 18, 2015.
