The Official Episode VIII Laura Dern Discussion Thread

Ah sorry didn't see that. You shall get the cookie if she is MM's daughter.

 

Naw I don't need em cookie...I'll gladly give it you if I am right...but if not...I guess that sends me to the spice mines of Kessel.

 

Her Majesty Queen Kylantha was installed as the puppet ruler of Naboo after the Emperor ordered the assassination of her predecessor, Her Majesty Queen Apailana. However, despite being outwardly sympathetic to the Empire, Kylantha harbored Jedi survivors of Order 66, assisted the Wookiees in attempting to destabilize Trandoshan slaving operations on Kashyyyk, appointed Pooja Naberrie (niece of Her Majesty Queen Amidala) to the Imperial Senate, and forged a friendship with Chief Chirpa of the Endor Ewoks.

 

Snoke could turn out to be a woman.

 

Hmm, hadn't thought about it, but I could definitely by her as some kind of regal politician. Great casting anyway you look at it, its never a mistake to add talent.

 

she could only have a minor roll the doctor that helps fin is a women or maybe the lost kenobi daughter

 

"It's a trap!"

 

Good actress. Great to see her in SW. Think her role could be wide open to many possibilities. She very well could have a brief but important role like MVS (as someone referenced above). Whatever her role this is a good addition to the SW universe.

 

Snoke Jenner?

 

Some powerful Queen or person of authority in politics/the First Order. She's definitely not on the good side.

 

We already have Captain Phasma as a female villain, but I also wanna see a Star Destroyer's female captain. It's something we'd never seen in Main Star Wars episodes before. what about older Alecia Beck?

Anyway, she could be a good side character, probably Rey's adoptive mother or a Republic senator.

 

Remember, we've only seen Snoke as a hologram. It may all be an illusion, he or she may look completely different... I doubt that this will be the case but it's a possibility.

On another note, could anybody tell me any TV shows or films with Laura, beside the first Jurassic Park?

 

Look her up, here's a link.

When I hear all the theories about the origin of Rey:

--- Double Post Merged, Feb 16, 2016, Original Post Date: Feb 16, 2016 ---

I'm calling it. She might be Evaan Verlaine!

 

Confirmed: Laura Dern will play a 'space velociraptor'.

 

She's a great actress, so she could play pretty much any kind of role:

-A Jedi (who may or may not be Luke's wife/lover and/or Rey's mom).
-A female Dark Sider.
-A military commander (be it on the Resistance, the NR, or the FO, doesn't matter. Any would work).
-A politician of some kind.
-Etc.

ANY of these could work for her, she's that good. Her being a female Dark Sider also intrigues me. It took us SEVEN movies to FINALLY get and awesome potential Jedi main female hero. So now perhaps it's the villain's turn (the expanded materials have certainly had their fair share of cool/interesting female Sith/DS users, but not the films as of yet).

 

Calling Phasma a villain is a stretch, she was more helpful than detrimental.

 

True on Phasma.. I'm thinking she is a Resistance spy.

 

The truth of Captain Phasma is that she is just merchandise dressed with the thinnest veil of a character.

 

Like OT Boba Fett? Lol.

Actually that would be cool. (Gwendoline Christie has some experience with strong female warriors shifting loyalties lol).
