A new Star Wars rumor suggests Damon Lindelof's movie would have recast Rey, in favor of a surprising choice. The last few months have seen a flurry of Star Wars announcements, as Lucasfilm finally cemented their plans for the franchise on the big screen. This didn't just involve new announcements; it also meant acknowledging that certain projects, such as Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron and Kevin Feige's mysterious movie, had been dropped. Most curious of all is Damon Lindelof's departure from what is believed to be a movie set after the sequel trilogy. "I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe," Lindelof recently observed, addressing rumors and reports for the first time. "I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave."
