Clicking through to the original source article at TheWrap.com led me to this quote:
Oscar winner Benicio del Toro is nearing a deal to play the villain in “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” for which plot details remain unknown. However, the Internet has taken it upon itself to speculate that Han Solo’s daughter could be introduced in the film.
Han Solo's daughter? But I thought that was supposed to be Daisy Ridley's character.... where's she going to be in Ep8 anyways?
