Could next Star Wars feature a female protagonist? Jan 29th 2013, 09:21 As the dust continues to settle upon the sudden announcement that J.J. Abrams will be taking the helm for the new Star Wars film, an intriguing story has come out suggesting that the main character in the new film might be female. SlashFilm have reported that when Matthew Vaughn was being considered for the position, he had pitched Chloe Moretz to the studio as the leading lady he had in mind for the project. Whether or not that was a piece of potential casting specific to Vaughn’s vision for the film remains to be scene, but it would be an intriguing change of pace for a traditionally male-dominated franchise. Meanwhile, Abrams has offered the first few tidbits of reaction to his sudden appointment, and as you’d expect, they’re not giving very much away. “It really is an incredible thing,” said the director. “Even more so, it’s wildly surreal. It’s obviously way too early to talk specifics, but I’m excited to actually start it.” Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to open in the UK in 2015.
