In the Han Solo origin story, Clarke, 31, plays Qi’ra, a childhood friend to the space cowboy who reconnects with Han under bad circumstances.
Describing her character as “badass,” the London native says Qi’ra “kind of follows a femme fatale arc.” “She’ll keep you on your toes,” she adds.
“Also, Qi’ra exists nowhere else in theStar Warsuniverse,” she says. “I got to make her up from scratch, which was exciting.”
