Laura Dern would like everyone to remember that she is in the new 'Star Wars', thank you very much
The Last Jedi brings Laura Dern into the Star Wars universe – but you wouldn't know it from the trailers, which have largely overlooked her character.
So Dern is taking matters into her own hands. (With the studio's approval, of course.)
The actress stopped by Ellen this week to remind viewers that she'll be playing Vice Admiral Holdo in the new movie. She's got a photo to prove it and everything!
Hmm, is that BB-9E – a.k.a. evil BB-8 – we spy in the corner there?
Holdo is a high-ranking Resistance officer who seems to have a history with General Leia Organa. What exactly that means, you'll have to wait and see. But Dern remembers Carrie Fisher fondly, describing her as "the most wildly forthright and incredible authentic being."
Watch Dern's Ellen appearance below:
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters December 15.
