Clarke's Qi'ra was introduced in Solo: A Star Wars Story as the love interest for Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo. Despite the film receiving a lot of criticism from both critics and fans, many agreed that Clarke gave a good performance in the film, and that her character, Qi'ra, was undoubtedly one of the most interesting aspects of the project, and that her story should have continued in a film or TV series.Disney and Lucasfilm recently released the animated Disney+ series titled Maul - Shadow Lord in 2026.
