Lando's child could well be played by Lupita Nyong'o, since we've previously heard that Daisy Ridley would be playing the daughter of Han and Leia, and John Boyega is rumored to be playing the Stormtrooper, Also, is that a tease of a Luke Skywalker heel turn in the next movie? Again, we have no way of knowing if any of this will even carry over to the final film -- even if it is on the level -- but what do you guys think?
