Star Wars: Solo - 10 New Details Lucasfilm Just Revealed
10. The Femme Fatale
Benioff and Weiss aren't the only ones going from Westeros to a galaxy far, far away, with the Mother of Dragons herself Emilia Clarke taking on the female lead role in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Clarke's Qi'ra has largely been kept mysterious, although the trailer does highlight that she and Han go way back, and there's an obvious romance angle too, but otherwise it's difficult to get a read on here - which is, of course, intentional. Clarke told EW: "...The thing that you see with Qi’ra is that she an enigma."
The actress elaborates on that: "There is a thing throughout the relationship you just can’t put your finger on. And that’s Qi’ra. Every time you think you have got her number you realise you haven’t at all... The goal is that the shadow of Qi’ra is there in Han as a character that we know. This girl is another texture that makes up who he is when we first meet him."
Discussing how the glamorous Qi'ra survives in this murky underworld of the Star Wars universe, Clarke said: "...If you have got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment you kind of know that maybe the glamour is hiding a few rough roads."
