Okay, so we all know that Jennifer Lawrence is awesome , but is she Han Solo material?

By now most of us have probably heard about Disney/Lucasfilm's plans for standalone Star Wars origin story films , which would potentially feature young versions of classic characters like Han Solo, Boba Fett and Yoda. When the idea was first announced back in February, it wasn't long before speculation swirled about recasting the iconic roles. One of the more out-there suggestions for a young Han Solo? Yep, Jennifer Lawrence.

While promoting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire , Lawrence was asked by /Film if she'd heard the rumor about fans wanting her to play the lovable -- male -- spacer. "I can't play a young Han Solo," she said with a laugh. "That's awful."

When the outlet noted that she had the "swagger and charisma" to pull off the role, Lawrence replied, "Oh my God, that's awesome. Can I do that?" When pressed further, she added, "Yeah, it'll probably be male, but I have always wanted to play a man."Lawrence's name was first floated for Star Wars in a write-up from Screen Crush 's Britt Hayes, who thought Lawrence had the chops to play the role made famous by Harrison Ford. "Not only is [Lawrence] athletic enough to run from bad guys, but she can convincingly wield weapons in a way that feels like someone might actually get hurt," Hayed wrote. "Her roles are often women who are confident (bordering on cocky), determined, quick-witted, and smart, and she can lob one-liners like no one's business. She has that mischievous twinkle in her eye, just like Harrison Ford's Han Solo."
