Star Wars has always introduced new characters throughout the ten films and counting that make up the franchise. In The Force Awakens, fans met Rey, Finn, and Poe. In The Last Jedi, Kelly Marie Tran arrived as Rose Tico, as did Laura Dern as Admiral Holdo. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be no different. Though this is the final installment of the Skywalker saga, fans will still meet new faces, including Jannah, played by Naomi Ackie. Who is Jannah? Fans have a lot of theories but little information.
Up until the Star Wars Celebration, fans didn’t even know the character’s name, let alone how she was related to the story. To be fair, the actress didn’t even know if she was allowed to reveal her name when asked by moderator Stephen Colbert. But after director J. Abrams gave the go-ahead, it was revealed Ackie’s character’s name is Jannah, and the first image of her, dressed in a rebel outfit, or perhaps smuggler-type clothing.
