Kelly Marie Tran wanted her 'Star Wars' character's backstory to be "as personal as possible". The 28-year-old actress joined the popular sci-fi franchise as Resistance fighter Rose Tico in the eighth installment 'The Last Jedi', but although scenes with her on-screen sister were cut, Tran knew her character's backstory and she even created an "audiobook". And Tran, who was born in San Diego after her parents emigrated to the US from Vietnam, said it was an "honour" and "responsibility" to represent Asian people in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'.
