MOVIES: Star Wars Spinoff - Rumor - Tatiana Maslany Lands Lead Role

Jan 30, 2015

Thanks to darthlocke4 for the heads up.
The first ‘Star Wars’ spin-off film may have landed its leading star… as I hear that ‘Orphan Black’ actress Tatiana Maslany has landed the role.

The 29-year-old Canadian actress was recently rumoured to be up for a part in the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ spinoff film, directed by Gareth Edwards. And while she was one of several new actresses linked to the role, it looks as though Maslany may have landed the part.

According to a source close to production, the still unknown ‘Star Wars’ spin-off has landed Tatiana Maslany as its leading lady.

Of course, she was recently linked to the galaxy far, far away when her name emerged amongst the likes of Rooney Mara and Felicity Jones who had apparently auditioned for the part. But I was soon contacted by a trusted source, who revealed that Maslany was apparently the front-runner for the role.

  1. I honestly hope this is true. She is incredible and amazing and would do an amazing job. I think this might be the first time in a long time she's only had one role ;)

  2. This is one of the only ways that I will be excited about these new films. Good for her!

  3. It's probably the role of a younger Princess Lea, but I'm hoping that it's actually this new character named Aphra, a weapons dealer, being introduced in Marvel's new line of Star Wars Comics: Darth Vader #3 (from the art, it almost looks like it might take place shortly after episode III)

  4. The number of Star Wars episodes and spin-offs we're getting starting this December is ridiculously exciting.

  5. Terrific news if it proves to be true! This will be the well-earned career boost that Maslany oh so deserves.

    God dammit, now I have to get into Star Wars.

  6. Well, I'd pretty much cast for anything she showed up and wanted to be in.

  8. She is one of the more gifted actors in quite a few years, she can play any emotion and do it quite well, I now have a reason to see the spin offs!

  11. better than nothing, let's be frank here: Lucas didn't intend to do another episode unless "younger directors" would take over (his words, not mine) and they did.


    Maybe devoted fans can pull what the creator himself couldn't: a worthy successor.




    I trust Abrams, he's got a pretty flawless resume about taking over franchises and salvaging them (Mission Impossible and Star Trek)

  12. HOLY SHIT, here's hoping it becomes official! This is gonna change her life forever if it's true. Love Tatiana :)
