Qi'ra

"I might be the only person who knows what you really are."

- Qi'ra, to Han Solo

Qi'ra was a human female from the planet Corellia who came to know Han Solo during the reign of the Galactic Empire. The two grew up on the streets together.

By the time she was eighteen years old, Qi'ra was already enmeshed in a criminal life working for a gang on Corellia.

Behind the scenes
"She has a couple of guises, but essentially she is just fighting to stay alive. If you've got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment, you kind of know the glamor is hiding a few rough roads."

- Emilia Clarke, on Qi'ra

Qi'ra is portrayed by Emilia Clarke in Solo: A Star Wars Story which is set to be released on May 25, 2018. Clarke's casting in the film was first announced in 2016. Her character's name is phonetically similar to "Kira," a name which stems from George Lucas's early outline for the sequel trilogy, and was the original name for the character Rey during the development of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.
