Let’s Welcome Yet Another New Star Wars Character
Actress Kelly Marie Tran signed on to play the character of Rose, who, as we understand it is a maintenance worker and what’s more she will be joining the Rebellion and the fight against the First Order. “I can’t wait for you to meet her,” said the actor at the panel for The Last Jedi.
Rian Johnson added, “She’s pretty rad. For me growing up, I was watching Luke Skywalker be this unlikely hero – the notion that anyone can step out of where they are and become a hero – Rose isn’t a soldier, she’s not looking to be a hero. She gets pulled into this adventure with Finn and Kelly just embodies that.”
