If you've watched that darkly hued first teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (and if you haven't, find a link at the bottom of the page), you'll know that the likes of Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) are back for the new film. But we also meet some new people, including Rose, played by Kelly Marie Tran.
She's described as something of an everywoman, one who works in maintenance for the Resistance, but who will come to play a much bigger role than she suspects.
"This possibility that any of us could step up and become a hero, that’s where Rose comes from," Last Jedi director Rian Johnson told the crowd at Star Wars Celebration. "She’s not a soldier, she’s not looking to be a hero. But she gets pulled into a very big adventure with Finn." Given their shared background in less-than-thrilling heroics earlier in their lives (Finn, don't forget, was a low-ranking Storm Trooper in the First Order), you can see why they might get on.
This looks set to launch Tran into the sort of sudden fame experienced by Ridley and Boyega, and before them, the likes of Mark Hamill. She's taken her first step into a larger world...
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out on 15 December.
