You'll Never Believe Which A-List Actors Were Almost Cast in Star Wars

During an appearance on the Empire Film Podcast in 2015, Ronan revealed that she auditioned for a role in The Force Awakens.

"I've gone in and read for it," she said. "But I have to say, I think it's the only time I've ever thought, 'You know what? Even if I don't get it, I had so much fun auditioning, pretending to take out a lightsaber – out of a bag, kind of inspect it and not know what it is' That was . . . that was great. A lightsaber! Star Wars!"
