From her photos,damaged goods poems of queer eroticism we already knew Laura Dern's new character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Resistance Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo, was unusual for the franchise. In her well-coiffed violet hair and elegant matching gown, she's unlike anyone the galaxy far, far away has shown us before.
But now we know her story arc will, like a lot of Star Wars stories, subtly reflect the politics and culture of our age back to us. She's there, in part, to show us what happens when a new and strange-looking female boss meets a hostile (and still mostly male) workplace.
SEE ALSO: Star Wars is political, and it always has beenVice-Admiral Holdo, who replaces Leia at the head of the Resistance, is the victim of certain "stereotypes about women bosses," Dern told EW. “Like if she looks a certain way, she can’t achieve the job or she must be brazen. You know, all the different versions of what we label someone."
But one of the central themes of Star Wars has long been this: Even heroes sometimes need to learn not to go on appearances. "Judge me by my size, do you?" tiny green Yoda asked Luke, who was looking for a giant Jedi warrior on Dagobah.
And in The Last Jedi, it appears that Resistance pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) needs to learn the same lesson Luke did. “She doesn’t particularly look like your typical military leader, and so I think there’s a bit of distrust for Poe,” Isaac told EW.
Judge Holdo by her purple hair, do you?
"It's beautifully subversive," Dern said about the costume design for her character, a military leader who also happens to be catwalk-ready.
SEE ALSO: Princess Leia was a rebel at 16: What we learned from her new YA novelEarlier this year we had a glimpse of Holdo in her late teenage years, thanks to the YA novel Leia, Princess of Alderaan. At that age she was a far more Luna Lovegood-like character who spoke in New Age mysticisms and wore a rainbow of clashing colors.
By the end of the book, however, her strange utterances have helped Leia get out of one vital, risky military situation. Under the hippy exterior, she was a savvy tactician.
It sounds like we're going to get a similar plot device in The Last Jedi,if Isaac's words are anything to go by. Poe is "not sure what to make of her, and ... the way she speaks, the things she says."
Judge Holdo by her hippy-ish way of talking, do you?
The big question remains, however: How will Leia react to being supplanted by her old friend? We know she acts as a kind of mentor to Poe Dameron in the film -- and apparently she's not immediately disabusing Dameron of his mistrust.
Could The Last Jedi, then, also be a parable about how women treat each other in the workplace? We'll find out when the movie arrives on screens December 15.
