Thandie Newton paid tribute to the black characters from the ‘Star Wars’ universe on the red carpet at the ‘Solo’ premiere in Cannes on Tuesday (15 May) night.
In the upcoming origin story about ‘Star Wars’ staple Han Solo, Thandie plays a new character, named Val.
As she made her way to the film’s premiere last night, she sported a Vivienne Westwood dress emblazoned with images of other black characters from previous ‘Star Wars’ films including Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu and, more recently, John Boyega as Finn.
