Laura Dern recently sat down on ‘The Ellen Show’ to briefly discuss her role in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘. While much is still under wraps about her character in the film, Laura Dern did reveal that in one scene she will be wielding some ‘weaponry’. She continued on by explaining how the experience has been the best shes had as an actress and how being a part of the film brought her back to her childhood. Dern even went on to describe that the film’s director, Rian Johnson, had to inform her that she was caught on camera making ‘pew pew’ sounds to correspond with the firing of the weapons. It’s these little behind the scenes notes that truly highlight how important ‘Star Wars’ truly is to some of Hollywood’s biggest and most acclaimed performers.
We’ve attached the clip from Ellen and some more backstory on Laura Derns ‘Admiral Holdo’
‘Amilyn Holdo was a human female from Gatalenta. In her youth, Holdo served in the Apprentice Legislature of the Imperial Senate, where she became acquainted with Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. During her time in the Apprentice Legislature, Holdo became friends with Organa, who confided with her about involvement with the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Later, by the year 34 ABY, Holdo became a Vice Admiral in Organa’s Resistance during its war with the First Order.’ Via Wookieepedia
