Why wouldn't they just get the original actress? I thought she already played her in the Squadrons video game. Hera is one of my favorite Star Wars characters so I am excited to see her in live action. I don't have any problem with her playing the character as long as it's done well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Im excited to see her too, but yeah I agree its kinda weird. Its almost like shes there just because of Ewen (no disrespect to her)

I love MEW... but isn't she too tall to be Hera? I thought she'd be cast as someone else/someone new... let's see where this goes.
