Kate Mara, known for House of Cards and who also will be playing Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four reboot, is said to be up for the Gareth Edwards Star Wars spinoff movie.

Four names have surfaced for the Star Wars spinoff female lead, which also include Rooney Mara (sister to Kate), Felicity Jones, and Tatiana Maslany.

A reporter for Variety is stating Kate Mara is the fourth.

Nothing is known about the character or even what Edwards’ Star Wars spinoff will be about.

Recently, Gary Whitta left as the screenwriter following having worked on the movie for a year; Simon Kinberg is now finishing the script.

Various rumors have stated the Gareth Edwards Star Wars spinoff may be about the Rebels securing the plans to the Death Star with a bunch of bounty hunters involved, while another rumor has said it could be a Han Solo origin story with Aaron Paul as the younger version of Harrison Ford.

The Gareth Edwards Star Wars spinoff is due out December 2016 so as soon as production is set to start, Disney should be releasing official information and making announcements.

Kate Mara has Fantastic Four coming out this August, Ridley Scott’s The Martian in November, and assuming Fantastic Four does well enough, Fantastic Four 2 in 2017.

Check out new concept art for Star Wars: The Force Awakens which reveals some ship designs, a look at Max von Sydow’s character and what appears to be Darth Vader.

It’s being said Darth Vader is actually used in the image as a placeholder for another character, maybe the bad guy from the trailer?

With the recent debut of the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (watch below) came with it a bit of controversy surrounding the look of the new lightsaber.

Some fans complained online that the crossguards might hurt the wielder as they appear to be energy shooting out from side-to-side.

Another theory is that whomever built the lightsaber didn’t know what he/she was doing, which is why the crossguards were built to possibly funnel away excess energy.

Well, just maybe the person that did build the new lightsaber was smarter than everyone else.

Check out the video above where the Thegn Thrand YouTube channel puts the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens lightsaber to the test.

They test the crossguard out to see if it would indeed hurt the wielder or it it would be an effective weapon against an opponent.

About a week ago, a rumor hit the net stating that Aaron Paul is being eyed for a Star Wars spinoff movie featuring Han Solo.

The rumor didn’t specifically state Aaron Paul was up for Han Solo, but it’s not that hard to connect the dots.

Now Paul has noticed the rumor as well. 

Aaron Paul took to Twitter to mention the Star Wars rumor is “very exciting” and jokes about having a job this year.

“Who’s starting these rumors?” Aaron Paul tweeted “This one is actually making me believe I have a job in 2015. Very exciting. #StarWars“

The rumor also stated that the Han Solo Star Wars spinoff would overlap filming with Star Wars: Episode VIII and had the working title “Luminac Industrial Goods.”

A new piece of concept art for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has landed online giving a look at a new TIE Figher.

Indie Revolver posted the above image of a red-colord TIE Figher.

As noted, it will be interesting to see who is piloting the TIE Fighters as well as how intact the Empire is following the death of the Emperor 35 years or so prior.
