If Marmite happened to become a person it would probably morph itself into Emilia Clarke.
Now that may sound like a weird set up to yet another one of my lame jokes,
but do hear me out!
You see, when it comes to split opinion on someone's acting ability,
Sarah Connor herself really tops the list.
In saying that, however, I'm sure fans of both Star Wars and Game of Thrones...
...wouldn't mind seeing Daenerys of the House Targaryen,
the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen,
Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains...
...and Mother of Dragons (that was quite a mouthful!)...
...in a certain galaxy far, far away.
Anyway, if that is the case,
then you'll all be glad to hear of Emilia Clarke's involvement with the upcoming anthology movie...
...Solo: A Star wars Story.
But what exactly does her role entail?
And what might her character do to affect the plot?
Well, let's find out!
Qi'ra – the character portrayed by Emilia Clarke in Solo: A Star Wars Story –
is said to hail from the Core World of Corellia.
And as a result, she has grown up alongside Han Solo himself.
So much so that by the age of eighteen, she had become involved in organised crime as part of a gang.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much all we know so far,
at least according to the official teasers and trailers released thus far.
But if we take a closer look at interviews regarding Emilia and her character,
then we can begin to paint a more detailed picture:
Aside from discussing aspects of her very own character, however,
Clarke has revealed more about the relationship between Qi'ra and Han Solo:
Whether or not Qi'ra survives the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story –
well, it seems as if we will just have to wait until Memorial Day to find out:
Interestingly, the name Qi'ra – at least spelled K-I-R-A –
dates back to an early outline for George Lucas' sequel trilogy.
It was also attributed to the character that eventually became 'Rey'...
...throughout the development of Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.
So there's a little fun fact that I'm sure no one will really care for!
In short, Qi'ra is one of Han Solo's closest allies and friends growing up –
making her equally as morally bankrupt and prone to criminal activity.
But that's not to rule out the fact she's a highly mysterious character...
...whose loyalties are somewhat hard to define.
So I guess we'll just have to wait to find out how exactly she and Han depart one another's company.
Personally, I'm going more for tragedy over betrayal.
I can imagine a couple of characters kicking the bucket just as Rogue One did back in 2016.
But what do you think?
Are you excited to see Qi'ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story?
