Phoebe Waller-Bridge'sSolocharacter is a self-made droid with moxie

I think theyre both kind of self-made.

And they get each other in that way.

Shes a complete individual in the galaxy, Jon Kasdan says.

We wanted to have it be a completely different kind of droid than youve ever seen in the movies.

And we definitely wanted it to be a female.

We thought it was more than time for that.

And, Phoebe, herself, is hilarious.

If you meet Phoebe, shes one of these people you just fall in love with immediately.

And shes not quite the walking disaster of herFleabagcharacter.

L3 is way more put together, so to speak.

Her AI is way up there in terms of IQ, says director Ron Howard.

Shes capable of some pretty interesting conversations.

Can you imagine Threepio being cool enough to have a secret handshake-style salute with Lando?

L3 is subservient to no one, which is a fun kind of droid to write.
