Yup saw that in the casting, though I wonder if it will be a big break out role for her, or just a small one.
I'm kinda more interested to see Oscar Isaac, between Poe Dameron in the new Star Wars, his roles in Inside Llewellyn Davis, Ex Machina and the upcoming X-Men Apocalypse he seems to be a pretty versatile actor.

Disney sure knows how to milk a license. Not my photo.
It's the reason we never got Spaceballs merchandise.

A lot of the George Lucas haters are surfacing atm. Okay, the Prequels were flawed, I get it. But here are some reasons why I think that Lucas doesn't deserve to be hated or to be as widely criticised as some other dubious directors:
1/ Lucas does try to make good films. Article: George Lucas Nearly Wrote a Perfect Prequel Trilogy. Many of the concepts of the Prequels were quite sound, the problem is that they weren't always well executed (as the article points out).
2/ Lucas does listen to feedback and tries to act on them. One of the biggest complaints about Episode 1 was Jar Jar Binks and the Gungans. With the sole exception of Jar Jar, the Gungans make no further appearances in Episodes 2 and 3. Jar Jar's appearance in Episode 2 was significantly reduced; he appeared sparingly and played a far more critical role to the story (re: activating the Clone Army). In Episode 3, Jar Jar only appears at Padmé's funeral and has no dialogue. This is just one example, there are others too -- but Lucas did try and learn from his mistakes and improve. Despite their flaws, Episode 2 is better than Episode 1 and Episode 3 is the best of the lot. Compare this with Transformers where the first movie is the best, and the sequels just got worse. Lucas cares. He's not perfect, but he cares.
And even if you completely disagree with my first two points, consider this...
3/ Lucas gave away almost all of the money that he made from selling Star Wars to Disney to children's education!
