It has just became official last night that the following names were added to the line-up of Star Wars: Episode 7.

Not only that, some 40 pictures were also released by TMZ yesterday showing off the Abu Dhabi set, costumes and new and never before seen creatures. The set was heavily rumoured to be scenes from Tatooine, where both Anakin and Luke Skywalker grew up.

Back to the topic at hand, the two new names added are Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie. Nyong'o's name shouldn't be too unfamiliar as she was the breakout star from 12 Years A Slave and winning Best Supporting Actress. I, and probably am alone when I say, wasn't as impressed as everyone else, but it will be interesting to see her performance in a Star Wars movie.

As for Christie, she currently stars in the hit TV series Game Of Thrones so even if you're unfamiliar with her name, you would have seen her face already. You can also catch her next in Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.

I'll go ahead and make an unsolicited guess and say that Nyong'o is playing a Sith (or I think that would be cool), while Christie I would like to see her away from the tough woman role in Game Of Thrones and play a good guy, or something that's not action oriented like a senator of some planet.
