With Kelly Marie Tran Star Wars has continued in their tradition of casting lesser known actresses, although she has a rich history of on screen roles this will be a big jump up for her, giving her huge exposure and catapulting her into the a-list stars just as it has for Daisy Ridley and other past stars of the Star Wars franchise. Little is known about her upcoming role but she does have a history of comedic and light comedy parts, so she could be called upon to take sting out of some of the more tense situations as Harrison Ford as Han Solo.What do you think of these actors being cast, what parts do you reckon they will play, what would you like them to play.
