Rumors are swirling over the character Christie will be playing. Badass Digest is saying Christie will play a commanding officer to John Boyega’s character, who was just rumored to be playing an AWOL storm trooper. 

Since Christie has been seen spotted training with lightsabers people are thinking she’ll actually be a Sith.
