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

6. Gemma Arterton

Arterton has a face that works in her favor, seeing as how she's convincingly portrayed numerous characters of different ethnicities quite believably. Like Howard, she could easily be transformed into a member of an alien race if the producers so desired and she certainly has the frame and body for a Jedi-esque presence. She's shown some action chops in ThePrince ofPersia, as seen in the clip below, and like Harris, she had the honor of being a Bond girl. We'll see her duke it out with some witches next year along-side Jeremy Renner, so her manipulating the Force just seems like the next natural step. http://youtu.be/zHPti64Zljw

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).
