Lupita Nyong'o Has Scenes 'cut' From Star Wars After 'struggling With Role' by DetectiveDeb(op): 10:12pm On Dec 01, 2015
Despite wowing with her breakthrough role in 12 Years A Slave in 2013, landing an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her efforts, it seems not everything she touches turns to gold.

Lupita Nyong'o has apparently had several of her scenes cut down in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The director JJ Abrams reportedly wasn't impressed by her performance and has been forced to cut several of her scenes down in the final edit.
The director was left unconvinced by what he saw and ordered for Lupita's dialogue to be re-recorded.

A source whispered to the Sun Newspaper:

"The CGI seemed to be what Lupita struggled with, perhaps because it meant she felt less of a connection to the character.
"There was a general sense that something wasn’t working so a lot of her scenes ended up being either re-worked or cut. Unfortunately she just didn’t end up delivering.
“There was a general sense that something wasn’t working so a lot of her scenes ended up being either re-worked or cut. Unfortunately she just didn’t end up delivering.
“It does happen in Hollywood, but not usually with Academy Award winners.
“Her part in the final film will now be a lot smaller than was initially expected.
“It’s ultimately quite embarrassing for Lupita but she’s still thrilled to even be in such an iconic movie.”

That will be quite embarrassing for her.
A versatile actor/actress should be able to subsume into any role given to him or her.

She can be excused. Maybe she is just not connecting with the character given to her or she is not in good state of mind.

No matter how unconnected you and the character u are portraying are, a good actress should be able to deliver
I am thinking she just got lucky with the Oscar tongue
