Having looked at a number of pictures of both women, my money is on Ella Rae Smith. Cheekbones and chin looks far more like her than Erin Kellyman.
If it’s either of them that is. The same argument is ongoing in the reddit thread, with people arguing for both of them. It’s hard to tell from one grainy picture.
When that is said, watch me make “Enfy is the rebooted Mara Jade and Finn’s mom” theories for the next year and a half. Not that I believe them – and if she is Finn’s mom the actress really shouldn’t be so light skinned and no, not because of science – but lets be real, if Enfys had been played by a white woman we’d already be hip deep in “Enfys is the new Mara and Rey’s mom theories”. Heck, we’re already hip deep in “Qi’ra is Rey’s mom” theories.
Am I the only one who thinks Ella-Rae Smith looks a lot like Natalie Portman? I thought it was just that one picture but there are others where I get Portman vibes. Granted, it’s probably because they both fit into a narrow range of industry-preferred looks for actresses, but now I’m stuck headcanoning Finn as a Naberrie rather than a Skywalker, with Enfys being one of Padmé’s nieces Pooja or Ryoo. This is what Pooja looked like as a child, by the way:
Okay she’s obviously a white child, but I’m choosing to run with the hair.
This is beyond disappointing. Luke/Nakari are Luke’s only canon ship right now. They also had a tragic ending that should be fodder for fix fics as well as the usual AUs and conventions.
@aryainwinterfell I am striving to give fandom the benefit of the doubt, that maybe Nakari is a comics-only character and that makes her less well known. Even that excuse doesn’t hold true for the Lando ships, however, so like… yeah, beyond disappointing.
I think you’re mixing up Nakari and Sana. Nakari isn’t in the comics, she’s only in the novel Heir to the Jedi. (Also I have on good authority that the author was forced to kill her by the story group “to give Luke a chance to emote” because killing a black woman for emotional development of a white man is totally cool *eye roll* So it’s not just the fandom, it’s the company too.
Thank you for that correction, I knew they were different characters but assumed Nakari was a character in a comic I hadn’t seen. And oh ew that blatant fridging… way to respect Finn’s mom, story group. (Yeah I know the timeline doesn’t fit, but all Finn parentage theories are good theories.)
