I’m sure they’re putting a lot of money behind it to make sure they aren’t. I’m glad they’ve given her a new outfit too. I don’t want to get my hopes up about her inclusion in the film, because realistically there’s only so much you can accomplish, but so far JJ and KK have been very enthusiastic about how well it works. It’s easily the aspect of the film I’m most nervous about, and perhaps unfairly.

But I am hopeful that there’s some way to make this film about her in a similar way the prior two were about Han and Luke, even without a lot of footage (characters of course can have a large presence even with little screen time).
