Orphan Black star gets lead in Star Wars spin-off!?

Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) is rumoured to have won the highly-coveted female lead spot in 2016’s “Star Wars” spin-off, according to Total Geeks (a couple of other sites are reporting it as fact too, so it’s likely there’s something to it). If so, Maslany bet a slew of capable thesps, including Felicity Jones and Rooney Mara, to play the unnamed female hero of Gareth Edward’s standalone adventure.

EW are reporting that Amanda Seyfried has replaced Maslany in a play; could it be that the actress had been forced to pull out due to her commitment to travel to a Galaxy Far, Far Away?
