Badass Digest reports Boyega and costar Daisy Ridley will be taking over the franchise. Boyega will allegedly play a storm trooper deserter who teams up with Ridley’s character after finding a severed hand holding a lightsaber.
“Their quest takes them off world, and they meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, who aren't flying around in the Millenium Falcon anymore but are piloting... well, that could be a spoiler,” Badass Digest reports. “Anyway, Han and Chewie recognize the light saber as Luke's, and they say they haven't seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi.
“So begins a quest to find the missing Jedi Master. Meanwhile, on an ice planet, nefarious forces are building a super weapon, one capable of destroying not planets but entire solar systems.”
The plot details also revealed “Game of Thrones” actress Gwendoline Christie will possibly play a Sith Lord on the hunt for Boyega’s character. However, the “Star Wars” production has yet to comment on the alleged spoilers.
“Star Wars Episode 7” will be released to theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
