Scots supermodel, Eunice Olumide reveals she has a small role in
Star Wars: Rogue One, which will be released in theaters on Dec. 16th.
"...
That was a really awesome experience. I don’t have lines but it was an incredible experience to be part of such an iconic film. ...I was originally supposed to play a nomad, but since I’m athletic I ended up playing a rebellion leader...There’s a small scene where I run and there’s a tank that comes after me with 20 stormtroopers. There’s loads of explosions."
She says she also had her likeness scanned into the George Lucas Archives to be reproduced as toys and videogames.

Rogue One will be directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) and written by Oscar nominee Chris Weitz (Cinderella, About a Boy, Antz). The first actress cast is Felicity Jones, who garnered an Academy Award nomination and critical acclaim for her performance in The Theory of Everything. The idea for the story of Rogue One came from John Knoll, an Academy Award-winning visual effects supervisor and chief creative officer at Industrial Light & Magic. He will executive produce along with Simon Emanuel (The Dark Knight Rises, Fast & Furious 6) and Jason McGatlin (Tintin, War of the Worlds). Kathleen Kennedy and Tony To (Band of Brothers, The Pacific) are on board to produce and John Swartz (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) will co-produce. The film starts shooting this summer in London and is due for release on December 16, 2016.
