The 21-year-old model and budding actress is said to be a fan of the popular sci-fi saga and has pressed Gleeson, who is to star in the new installments of the franchise, to put in a good word for her, reported Daily Star.
"Cara is a huge fan of 'Star Wars'. She became very envious when she heard the unknown actress Daisy Ridley had managed to land a role," a source said.
"But there are still plenty of parts yet to be cast, as Domhnall has assured her, and she's desperate for one - no matter how small."
