Substantial GA on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. I suggest you group the refs providing extensive quotations in a notelist. I am not happy with the hooks which seem to focus more on the actress than the character, supported by the image. Too bad that the great image of her in the role is not free. My take on the original would be this;
ALT2: ... that the rolecharacter of Rose Tico in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was played by Kelly Marie Tran (pictured) who had never seen a Star Wars film before auditioning?
If you agree I can approve it, because it has nothing new. I am open to other suggestions but ALT1 is too complex for my taste. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Gerda Arendt I like your suggested alternative hook and have no objection to it. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 12:22, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
