   That would be the 6'3" tall Gwendoline Christie.  She'd have to look up   
   slightly at me since I'm am inch taller.  Anyway, I didn't see her face in the   
   movie because it was covered by her officer's mask and if I remember   
   correctly, she didn't tke it off.  Maybe in Star Wars VIII she will.

   I too, was impressed, but the thing that got me wondering is where did she get   
   the Force?  Could she be Luke's child?  A romantic interlude or otherwise was   
   never mentioned about Luke because he was too busy defeating the Empire.

   That is reminiscent of what Paramount did with Star Trek.  It was a "cash cow".
