The upcoming Star Wars Outlaws will see a popular character from the movie “Solo: A Star Wars Story” make her return. However, the actress who portrayed the character on screen will not be involved this time.
Which character is it? Qi’ra is a character from the 2018 film about young Han Solo. This friend of the beloved smuggler was portrayed by Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke.
Qi’ra has known Han Solo since their childhood on the planet Corellia. Later, she became the leader of Crimson Dawn, a criminal syndicate.
The film received only mediocre reviews from the audience. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an audience rating of 63%. The character Qi’ra was among the more popular aspects of the film and was also a new character in the Star Wars universe.
After a leak about Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws yesterday, Game Informer revealed that Qi’ra will be part of the new game. Fans of the character will be pleased, but there is also a downside.
Emilia Clarke is not returning this time
What do the revelations say? Brian Shea from Game Informer reports in a tweet that Emilia Clarke is not part of Star Wars Outlaws. This means someone else will portray the character Qi’ra.
Here you can see the tweet:
According to Brian Shea, this information was confirmed by Ubisoft itself. At the same time, it is not yet clear who will replace Clarke.
How are fans reacting to this? Fans of the character are disappointed that Emilia Clarke will not reprise her role. Under the tweet from Brian Shea, various comments and reactions are gathering:
- User Elliot writes: “Too bad, but not surprising. It’s still great to see direct connections between Solo and the comics.”
- “I suspected as much, but it’s still cool that the character is included at all,” says RumblePack92.
- “How disappointing,” finds Mr Jango with a GIF.
- Andy writes: “But she looks like Emilia Clarke.”
Indeed, the character model in the images (via reddit) strongly resembles the original actress. At least the appearance will be maintained.
And the simple fact that Qi’ra appears in Outlaws at all generates euphoric reactions from fans of the character. As soon as Ubisoft reveals more about the game and announces the cast, we will know more. You can find more information about Star Wars Outlaws on MeinMMO.
