I think this serves as our confirmation that there will be female stormtroopers in the sequel trilogy era. It's nice to see the empire seems to be getting more diverse. We've already seen John Boyega, a black man, in stormtrooper armor in the trailer and now we have a woman donning the infamous white armor.As always this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.
