The talented actress appeared on Live with Kelly & Michael, and when Strahan asked her if she would be in the next Star Wars, she answered with a resounding “yes.”

When they showed her character on screen, Kelly chimed in with “a real departure from how you typically look, but still stylish. Did you notice she’s wearing a necklace and she’s got a cute hat on.”

She’s right you know. With eyes like that, I imagine your accessory game needs to be on point. The character wasn’t in the film as much as I would’ve liked, so hopefully she will have an increased presence in Episode VIII.
