She was a Y-Wing pilot, and she participated in the battle of Kashyyyk during the aftermath trilogy, proving she was still around then. Verlaine is a character from the Princess Leia comics, and she replaces Leia as princess of Alderaan when Leia hands her the title. And if Leia had a strong 'political bond' with Valara, why didn't she get mentioned in Bloodline?Īnother heavily popular theory is that Laura Dern is playing Evaan Verlaine.
I also think it's unlikely because in Bloodline we saw how inactive the new republic senate was- with most of it destroyed, how could they elect a new chancellor (we know the former chancellor, chancellor Villecham, died on Hosnian Prime) in time? The last Jedi will take place right after the force awakens, so it's unlikely the senate was that well organised, especially with 85% of the senate gone. Maybe the last Jedi could work as a way to introduce her ready for episode 9? It's possible. Also I'm finding it hard to see what the point of this character is, and what role she could play. However, I feel a replication of Mon Mothma could turn back into the argument of how similar the film is to the original trilogy. The rumour never stated what role she would play in the next instalment of the Star Wars saga, but some have speculated that the possible character of Valara would be a sort of Mon Mothma style character, and Valara in episode 9 would play how Mothma played in the aftermath trilogy- too concerned about the government, moving away from war even though she conducted the movements of the rebellion. Valara would have a positive political past with Leia, and the newly appointed chancellor would become a leading role in the resistance. Valara was to be a character who would become chancellor of the new republic after the attack on the hosnian system: this is because only about 85% of the new republic was destroyed, so there was still some to govern. One of the earliest rumours as to who Dern would be playing was that she was cast for a character named chancellor Valara.
