Entertainment Weekly has shared a new image of Kelly Marie Tran’s character Rose Tico from The Last Jedi earlier today. The image (click for a closer look) features Rose piloting some sort of craft/vehicle alongside John Boyega’s Finn on what is surely a quite dangerous mission. Of importance in the photo is the crescent moon-shaped necklace Rose is seen wearing. Does the necklace have any substantial meaning behind it? Or is it merely a piece of jewelry that Rose wears as sort of a good luck charm? EW gives us the scoop below.
The new image also hints at an object that Tran says will have more meaning when the story unfolds. Note the crescent-shaped necklace she’s wearing. It’s not exactly something you’d put on while working around heavy machinery — too easy to get caught in the gears.
So what is it?
“That is definitely something that is significant to Rose’s backstory,” Tran reveals. “It is an object that she kind of has throughout the film and it is representative of more than the object itself to her. So, yeah, that’s all I can say. It has significance that is, to me, something that means more than just what the object itself is.”
