‘Star Wars Episode 7’ RUMORS: ‘The Force Awakens’ to Introduce New Hot Shot Female Pilot?

Warning: The following contains spoilers for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Whether you're a Jedi or a Sith, a Gungan or a Wookie, we can all agree that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" cannot get here soon enough. Unfortunately, we still have 161 days to go, so in the meantime, we will have to settle for little tidbits of inside information.

Jason Ward, Editor-in-Chief of Making Star Wars, reports that "The Force Awakens" will introduce fans to an interesting new character.

"We're going to meet a hot shot pilot named Jessika Pava," Ward wrote. "Her call sign is 'Blue Three.' She pilots an X-Wing fighter, which is to be expected. She is a young, female, human with darker hair. She wears her hair in a ponytail reaching down to her shoulder blades. We believe she serves under Gorwyn's squad and Major Ematt in the movie."

Ward doesn't list his sources for this reveal, but Making Star Wars is a well-respected outlet for "Star Wars" news and rumors and has confirmed several juicy scoops in the past. Chances are they are right on the money with this one.

But who is Jessika and what will her role in the film be beyond flying an X-Wing? We have no idea. We know she won't be played by Gwendoline Christie or Lupita Nyong'o. That still leaves a handful of actresses who be seen in "The Force Awakens" later this year.

We'll update you if any new information about this character becomes available.
