Reports claim that Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o has met with J.J. Abrams for an undisclosed role in Star Wars Episode VII. Nyong'o just won an Oscar for her role in 12 Years a Slave at the beginning of the month and recently starred in Non-Stop. Rumor has it the role is a "non-Caucasian descendent of Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Previously we learned of a short-list of male actors up for the coveted lead role, so it is possible that there is a female lead we don't know much about yet.
