Star Wars The Last Jedi: Rose Is ‘Confident’ and ‘Loyal’

Via Screenrant.com:

Kelly Marie Tran describes her new Star Wars: The Last Jedi character, Rose Tico. Following J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens – which rejuvenated everybody’s love and interest for all things that have come from the galaxy far far away – the upcoming Rian Johnson-written and directed flick is obviously being eyed on by a lot of fans. Not only are we going to reunite with our legacy characters such as Luke and Leia and recently introduced ones like Rey, Poe Dameron, Finn, and Kylo Ren, we are also going to meet a slew of new players that could either be working for or against the Resistance like Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo (Laura Dern), codebreaker DJ (Benicio del Toro) and Rose.

Among the trio of newcomers, Rose is arguably perceived as the most loyal to the Resistance. Initially a maintenance worker at the Freedom Fighter’s base, she is plucked from her routine lifestyle and plugged into a more exciting albeit dangerous adventure with Finn, which will take her to new places prompting her to meet new people, including the mysterious rogue individual DJ. While it is unknown just how much she will play in the bigger narrative arc of The Last Jedi, some reports claim that it is actually her who helps the former Stormtrooper get back on his feet and fulfill his new role as an official member of the Resistance. That said, the two’s relationship won’t always be harmonious.

Catching up with EW during PEOPLE’S Ones to Watch event, where she is one of the honorees, the budding actress talked about her character and how she fits in the overall Star Wars franchise:

“Rose is smart and she’s confident and she’s loyal. She’s going to be such a cool character because she’s someone who isn’t a model. She’s not a superhero. She’s just kind of an everyday person, and that’s something special about her. She’s someone who is able to face her fears in the face of adversity even though she kind of is a background player in the Resistance.”

The Last Jedi Will Be The Longest Movie In The Series

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is probably the biggest movie of 2017, it may even be bigger than The Force Awakens simply because we have so many questions going into the new film and it has to accomplish quite a lot. The movie can’t tread too much on old ground, it has to answer where the hell Luke has been for 30 years, who Rey’s parents are, what’s the deal with that Snoke fella, and probably even introduce new plot points amongst many other things.

Luckily for us, The Last Jedi will probably deliver on a lot of those fronts because it’s currently set to be the longest film in the series. The Rian Johnson-helmed sci-fi epic will clock in at about 150 minutes (2 and a half hours) which is pretty great because we’re all going to want to soak up as much Star Wars as we can until J.J. Abrams concludes this trilogy in 2019.

To compare, The Force Awakens was 2 hours and 15 minute and the second longest runtime for a Star Wars movie is held by Attack of the Clones with 2 hours and 22 minutes. Obviously, The Last Jedi isn’t drastically longer than either of those but it’s nice to know just how much Star Wars we’re going to be consuming come December.

In related news, The Last Jedi has completely finished production. The movie wrapped filming many months ago and has completed all special effects work, editing, and everything in between. The movie is 100% finished which is extraordinary since J.J. Abrams was working on The Force Awakens up until the last minute in 2015. Now, all we have to do is wait.

To tide us over, a brand new trailer is scheduled to be shown during Monday Night Football next week. Stay tuned to GameZone next Monday for the full trailer when it drops.

THE LAST JEDI TRAILER COMING SOON?

“The question of when audiences are going to get the first full trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi might have been answered, but only for those paying close enough attention to Mark Hamill’s Twitter feed. On September 19, he tweeted: “Watch Monday Night Football on Monday October 9th – for no reason in particular.” He then very quickly deleted the tweet, although certain websites had the wherewithal to take screenshots before it disappeared. An October trailer would follow the pattern set by The Force Awakens, which released its first full trailer October 15, 2015 after an April teaser, but could Hamill have been referring to something else entirely, or even just trolling his followers? After all, it’s not as if he’s never done that before.”
