Star Wars Episode 7: 10 Actresses To Play First Prominent, Live-Action Female Jedi

10. Angelina Jolie

Who are we kidding? The Star Wars franchise is not above using some well-placed star power (Alec Guinness, Samuel L. Jackson) and Jolie's got the whole package for a female Jedi. She's obviously got the acting chops, the action chops, and throw a little makeup on her and her face works wonderfully for something "alien." She's lovely, has box office draw, and has proved time and time again that she can hold her own against the rest of the boys. She's the biggest name on this list, but she would certainly do well by the Star Wars series. And I never said she had to be a good girl (despite "Jedi" being in the title). I certainly don't see why this new franchise couldn't feature Jolie as a primary antagonist, with a cold, piercing stare and lightning quick lightsaber moves. http://youtu.be/n0ePiJtKEbE

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
