First Official Look At Keri Russell’s ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ Character

A brand new image offers fans their first official look at Keri Russell’s mysterious Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker character.

The Rise of Skywalker continues to build anticipation, with a recent set visit having revealed new information about many characters. Thanks to Vanity Fair, Star Wars fans now know that Keri Russell is playing a character known as Zorri Bliss.

Previously, it was rumored that Keri Russell would be playing a bounty hunter in The Rise of Skywalker. Vanity Fair’s headline specifically calls Zorri Bliss “roguish.” While we have no idea what that means, it seems Zorri Bliss will have a bit of complexity to her.

Keri Russell  has previously said that her Star Wars character has “the coolest costume,” and thanks to a new image from The Rise of Skywalker, we can confirm that she’s not wrong. Check it out below.

The outfit for the character doesn’t disappoint with the character having a very bounty hunter-inspired look, calling back to previous Star Wars characters like Zam Wessell from Star Wars: Attack of The Clones as well as Enfys Nest from Solo: A Star Wars Story. While not much is known about the character, it seems we can expect an interesting and exciting turn for Keri Russell in the film. Are you excited for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker?
