Kelly Marie Tran, who faced severe online harassment after her role in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi,' speaks about her journey towards self-acceptance and celebrating her identity. She underwent years of therapy, during which she realized the toxicity of the comments directed at her reflected deeper societal issues, including internalized racism. Despite the backlash and her reduced role in subsequent films, Tran maintains fond memories of her experience, appreciating the opportunities the role provided in her career. She aspires to create films that resonate with her personal experiences.
I still hold that experience with such fondness in my heart because there was so much creativity, professionalism, and artistry on those sets.
It allowed me into these audition rooms I never would've been in a million years if I hadn't done that job.
