A fresh paradigm fromStar Wars : The Last Jedihighlights a necklace new character Rose Tico wears , and it is an important part of her backstory .

An article inEWfeatured a new photo of Finn and Rose en route to the extravagant Canto Bight ( see it below ) . One detail on Rose ’s costume that specifically gets the spotlight is a necklace , which plainly has a personal connexion to her . Actress Kelly Marie Tran excuse its importance :

“ That is definitely something that is important to Rose ’s backstory . It is an objective that she kind of has throughout the film and it is representative of more than the physical object itself to her . So , yeah , that ’s all I can say . It has significance that is , to me , something that think more than just what the object itself is . ”

It ’s been confirmed Rose has a sister named Paige Tico , who works as a gunner in the Resistance . A popular theory is thatThe Last Jedibegins with an explosive space conflict as our heroes get away their central office on D’Qar , so it ’s possible Paige will pass during the conflict . With this in mind , it ’s sensible to assume the necklace either belong to to Paige or was a gift from her to Rose , and the automobile mechanic keep it as a souvenir to remember her fallen sibling . Rey is still in possession of the blaster she received from Han Solo ( even though she ’s skilled with the Force and a lightsaber ) , so it is n’t out of the question for some object to have sentimental value in theStar Warsuniverse . If the necklace is all Rose has impart of her babe , she would definitely want to support on to it as she tries to bring down the First Order .

Those who delight this detail have the one and only Carrie Fisher to thank . OnTwitter , Last Jedidirector Rian Johnson revealed that during rehearsals , Fisher grab his arm and emphasize the grandness to have"space jewelry"in the pic . He thought it was a majuscule concept , so he designed unlike pieces for the various character . It ’s just a nice , little touch modality that helps make the beetleweed far , far aside feel more tangible . multitude in our world wear ring and necklaces all the sentence , so why would n’t those in theStar Warsuniverse ?
