Another star seemingly joining up with the various eclectic faces occupying this corner of the galaxy at the peak of her powers, Game of Thrones standout Emilia Clarke also learned the hard way that simply signing up to appear opposite Han Solo isn't enough to guarantee a meaty Star Wars meal to get her teeth sunk into.

Taking up the spot of Solo's first real love interest by the name of Qi'ra, Clarke's Crimson Dawn lieutenant definitely housed the potential to be another significant strong and layered female presence within a live-action galaxy often lacking in that department.

Yet, despite undoubtedly acting as one of Solo: A Star Wars Story's few glimmers of hope and setting the stage for further interactions with fan-favourite presence Maul late on, the film's poor box office performance eventually left Qi'ra in limbo shortly after.

And though Clarke has gone on record to state how the character has "unfinished business" and that she's even written out a ton of her backstory and future plans already, there's still no signs of life when it pertains to giving Qi'ra the returning arc an actor of this dedication and ability evidently merits.
