As Star Wars fever continues to spread across the globe, Entertainment Weekly has shared a new look at Keri Russell's enigmatic character from STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.

In the photo, we find Russell's rogue operative, Zorri Bliss, examining some manner of interstellar currency or data storage device. Draped in dark materials, Zorri sports a Rocketeer-like helmet that hides her true face. Previously, Russell revelaed that her character is a friend of Poe Dameron's (Oscar Isaac), though the details of their union have yet to be uncovered.

“She has a little bit of a checkered past and maybe some questionable morals, but she’s really an old friend of Poe’s. I think the entrance of Zorri is there to describe more of who he was, y’know, in a very intimate way and a familiar way, and the friends are sort of like, ‘What do you mean, you know him?'”

Isaac then added that Poe's relationship with Zorri is "complicated," and that she's neither First Order nor Resistance. Could it be that Poe and Zorri were once romantically involved? What caused them to lose touch? Has Zorri returned to make trouble for Poe and his friends, or will she aid them in defeating the First Order? I have so many questions!

Directed by J.J. Abrams, STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER stars Billie Lourd, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, Lupita Nyong'o, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Keri Russell, Carrie Fisher, Kelly Marie Tran, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Dee Williams, Greg Grunberg and Ian McDiarmid, among many others.

The final chapter of the Skywalker Saga will arrive in theaters on December 20, 2019.
