    In a new interview with Variety, actress Jennifer Beals gave a few details about the making of The Book of Boba Fett and discussed her experience with Star Wars. Beals' involvement with the show had remained a secret until the debut of the trailer in early November. Not much else is known at the moment, besides the fact that she's playing a Twi'lek (see picture above).



    But before her involvement in The Book of Boba Fett, Beals was not precisely the biggest Star Wars fan. As she told Variety, she was definitely familiar with the franchise, but mostly because of her experience watching it as a kid:



    Despite that, the last movie she saw before the lockdown was The Rise of Skywalker. At the time, though, she wasn't even aware of The Mandalorian, as she said:

    She then described the first moment she walked into the set, and apparently, she had a similar experience to Ming-Na Wen's -- she didn't even know they were filming The Book of Boba Fett, just that she was now a part of the Mandalorian family:



    As mentioned earlier, her character is a Twi'lek, a species she didn't know much about at first:

    The main look of the character (like every Twi'lek) is of course given by the lekku, the two long appendages on her head. They were apparently not that heavy and easy to take off when needed, as she said:



    Beals was also asked if her character had anything to do with Bib Fortuna, the other main Twi'lek in the Star Wars films, who was killed off in the Mandalorian Season 2 finale. However, the actress deflected the question. She did say, though, that it is not unreasonable to think that her character is someone of stature, given the seemingly expensive clothing she is wearing in the trailers:



    Lastly, Variety brought up the fact that she might end up having a toy made after her character. Beals was sort of excited about this, though she didn't want to overthink it, in case she was let down in the end:



    We'll certainly learn more about her character as The Book of Boba Fett starts airing its episodes on Disney Plus, on December 29.

    It's getting closer and closer to game day... just about 10 day and 23 hours, and we'll open the book of Boba Fett.
