‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’: Lea's Daughter, Aliens And Lupita Nyong'O Character Description Revealed
Previous spoilers for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" claim the Greenham Common location was used to set up the Pirates Cove. A certain Rose's Room set was even created, which, according to a recent report, hint of Lupita Nyong'O's role in the movie.
The International Business Times claimed the Pirates Cove set at Greenham Common included a Rose's Room, which was set up for puppetry requirements. However, no other details were provided regarding the set aside from the name Rose being associated as a code used for Kira, "Snow Girl" and "Fawn."
However, a source for Starwarsunderworld confirmed the Rose's Room at the Pirates Cove set of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was created for Lupita Nyong'O's role. The code name Rose was reportedly even assigned to the actress. "The character codenamed 'Rose' is in fact a puppet that also will be brought to life with motion capture from actress Lupita Nyong'o," writer Chris Seekell said.
Jason Ward over at Makingstarwars saw concept photos for the female puppet and claimed she is actually an alien sidekick. Since the motion capture will supposedly come from Lupita Nyong'O, it would seem she is playing as an alien in the film.
There were reportedly two concept photos for the aliens; one old and one young. The actress could have been given the role of the young inquisitive alien, which, according to Ward, has a small turtle-like face. Andy Serkis, on the other hand, is supposedly playing as the older alien. According to Ward, these two characters were even referenced in previous movie iterations involving Daisy Ridley and John Boyega's scene in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
According to Ward, "Boyega and Ridley's characters enter into a cavern or catacomb where they meet a little alien creature, standing about waist high." This alien creature reportedly journeyed with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega until the end of the movie.
Additionally, Jason Ward claimed Pirates Cove has a reference to the classic Disney animation "Peter Pan." The Cove is supposedly where the pirates live. "Fawn" pertains to another Disney classic, "Bambi." Rose, on the other hand, alludes to Briar Rose from "Sleeping Beauty," who is the daughter of Leah. This association had Ward assume that instead of being an alien, Lupita Nyong'O could have been given the role of Leia's daughter in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
