Jonathan Kasdan took to Twitter to drop lots of information about the film including the fact that, in his opinion, Thandie Newton was too good in her role as Val. This is what he said….
“In retrospect, Thandie Newton may have actually been too good and too interesting as Val. It was always in the design of the story that Beckett would lose his trusted crew members during the Conveyex Job-gone-wrong and be forced to rely on newbies, Han and Chewie, and this would also open the door for Lando, Qi’ra and L3 to join the crew, but Thandie is so compelling to watch that the death of her character feels a little like a cheat. It’s an odd and unexpected problem that comes with working with such amazing, compelling actors in the Star Wars universe. You just want more of them.”
Do you think Thandie was wasted in the role? Should she have been killed off, or lived to fight another day? Let us know wat you think.
