The Rise of Skywalker: What the TV spots aren’t showing us
By Nik Edlund
Zorii Bliss
Zorri Bliss is the new masked character from The Rise of Skywalker played by J.J. Abrams favorite Keri Russel. She is apparently the leader of the Spice Runners of Kijimi and had a fling with Poe Dameron in the past.
Other than seeing her standing in the trailer when Threepio declares he’s taking one last look at his friends, barely anything has been shown about this mysterious new character.
Not a single TV spot has shown Bliss. She isn’t in the Falcon with Poe, Finn, and Rey and while she appears to be on the good guys’ side, we really don’t know for sure. Either they are purposely keeping her role a mystery by leaving her out, or her role in the film is very small.
It is possible Zorii Bliss is The Rise of Skywalker’s version of Boba Fett and Captain Phasma, a cool looking character who doesn’t really do all that much. Hopefully, that isn’t the case but for now, all we can do is wonder how this character sounds through her mask, and whether it is something she takes off or prefers to leave on like the Mandalorian.
