Gwendoline Christie won't be the only Game of Thrones cast member part of Star Wars: Episode VII. For obvious reasons there's a need for those with plenty of sword training, and J.J. Abrams has enlisted Miltos Yerolemou, who played Arya Stark's graceful sword trainer Syrio Forel, for a role in the latest Star Wars film.
The report comes from the BBC who state Forel's role is "not thought to be a major one.” Makes sense, otherwise he probably would have been cast long before now. But with production just picking back up after a hiatus due to Harrison Ford's injury, now seems like the right time to bring him aboard. And of course, with Forel's experience one can only think he'll be playing a Jedi or Sith, anybody that might have a chance to wield a lightsaber.
Star Wars: Episode VII opens December 18th 2015.
