       Casting News: Adam Driver and Lupita Nyong'o

       So apparently Adam Driver (mainly known for playing Adam in
       "Girls") is being considered for one of the new leading roles.
       I've heard mixed reports on whether or not he'd be a protagonist
       or antagonist.
       Also, more recently, it's been confirmed that new Academy Award
       winner Lupita Nyong'o ("12 Years a Slave) has been meeting with
       JJ Abrams, also about a leading role.  Her potential character
       is also a secret, but it seems like most are speculating her as
       a protagonist (or possibly the first female Sith in the film
       saga).
       Both of these are, obviously, unconfirmed.  We know they've
       auditioned and are heavy contenders, but everybody's staying
       very quiet about details of casting.
       Personally, I'm not a fan of Adam Driver.  I like him well
       enough in "Girls", but it's hard to picture him in Star Wars.
       However, I definitely hope the reports of Lupita Nyong'o are
       true.  I think she'd be awesome as either a hero or villain.
       Thoughts?
