It's been little over a week since Star Wars: The Force Awakens released in theaters, but fans of the punk rock band Against Me! are already gearing up for Episode VIII with a groundbreaking casting suggestion.

The band's lead singer and guitarist, Laura Jane Grace, famously came out as a transgender woman back in 2012, but she has been open about being a Star Wars fan her entire life."

I wish them luck. Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
