From her photos, we already knew Laura Dern's new character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Resistance Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo, was unusual for the franchise. In her well-coiffed violet hair and elegant matching gown, she's unlike anyone the galaxy far, far away has shown us before.
But now we know her story arc will, like a lot of Star Wars stories, subtly reflect the politics and culture of our age back to us. She's there, in part, to show us what happens when a new and strange-looking female boss meets a hostile (and still mostly male) workplace.*
