Meet Your Newest Star Wars Star
Friday's The Last Jedi panel provided fans a chance to see some returning megastars but also to get to know for the first time one of the new faces arriving on the Episode VIII scene. Director Rian Johnson introduced young actress Kelly Marie Tran and her character, Rose, who serves as a maintenance worker and is part of the Resistance. "I can't wait for you to meet her," said Johnson, who also explained that Tran has the "biggest new part in the movie."
The director explained Rose's character further: "She's not a soldier. She's not looking to be a hero, and she gets pulled a very big way into an adventure in this movie." Despite her diminutive stature, expect Tran to cast a very large shadow in the proceedings of the next movie.
