Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown isn’t going anywhere. First of all, she will definitely be in the second season, a twist that seemed inevitable. (Did you really think Hopper was leaving Eggos in the woods just for fun?) Meanwhile, Brown also isn’t going anywhere in the broader sense: During a panel at Rhode Island Comic-Con, Brown put out into the universe that she would love to be in a Star Wars movie. “If they made—I think they are making another Star Wars—I would love a role like that,” Brown said. “Because I want to do something far from Eleven or Madison.” (Madison was her character on the BBC America paranormal series Intruders.)
Brown added that she wants to play a younger version of Princess/General Leia, founder and general of the Resistance—and now that she has planted it in our minds, Brown does look like a young Carrie Fisher. A standalone movie built around young Han Solo is already in the works, with Alden Ehrenreich set to play the iconic smuggler. It goes without saying that Disney should deliver the same attention to backstory for Leia, who is every bit as iconic and essential to the Star Wars canon as Han Solo.
