16 Actors Confirmed For Star Wars Episode IX

3. NEW: Naomi Ackie

At time of writing, Naomi Ackie is without a character name, though many will know her from Doctor Who, and a powerful role in Lady Macbeth.

With so many returning cast members, potential plot threads to pick up on and scores of fans to please, it's a wonder anybody new made the cut.

Ackie is a solid fit based on her previous work, but it's over to pure fan speculation as to where she fits in the canon overall.
