While we got a first look at Laura Dern’s Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo in Vanity Fair earlier this year, her character was absent from the recent trailer.

To remedy that, Dern shared a new photo of herself as Amilyn Holdo ahead of her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” this week. In this image, violet-haired Holdo is surrounded by Resistance soldiers and a BB-8 unit.

Excited to talk a little Star Wars with my buddy @theellenshow today!!
