5 Game Of Thrones Actors You Might Have Missed In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Game Of Thrones Role - Nymeria Sand

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Role - Jessika Pava

The Dorne storyline, featured in Game of Thrones' fifth season, was a rare misstep for the series, given that it was a complete mess from start to finish. 

In a storyline mostly invented for television, Jaime Lannister and Bronn are sent to the Desert Kingdom to covertly rescue Princess Myrcella, who doesn't want to be rescued at all. Their arrival coincides with an assassination plot by Ellaria Sand and three of her bastard daughters (collectively known as the Sand Snakes).

The less said about their debut, the better, but all three Sand Snakes, played by Jessica Henwick, Keisha Castle-Hughes and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, are set to return in season six, where the aftermath of Myrcella's death will presumably be explored. Henwick will return with Star Wars on her CV, however, having played the role of X-Wing pilot Jessika Pava, otherwise known as Jess Testor.

Though only appearing in a few scenes throughout the film, Jess features more extensively in tie-in novel The Weapon Of The Jedi, where she solicits a story from C3PO about Luke Skywalker. Internet fandom seems to have increased her popularity, so seeing her again in the future could be a solid bet.
