Actress Kelly Marie Tran is in a much better place for years after finishing her role as a mechanic of Tico pink resistance in the “Star Wars“Franchise.

The character appeared for the first time in “The Last Jedi” of 2017 and made his latest appearance in “The Rise of Skywalker” of 2019, which marks the latest film “Star Wars” to strike theaters.

Tran moved away from social media following the reactions she was faced at the time, but she is now talking about how she was “persecuted” by the Fandom in an interview promoting her new film, “The Wedding Banquet”.

While promoting her new film, Tran tackled the criticism she faced by fans of “Star Wars” in the last two films of the Skywalker saga.

“I was already ridiculed. There were comments on my race or comments on the fact that I am a woman. I already felt like I was persecuted for these things,” shared Tran with Weekly entertainmentNote how it affected her decision to release publicly as a queer woman.

“Now I’m like, I’m going to go out publicly? It was a complicated thing to think,” she continued. “But I’m going to quote Lily Gladstone here, someone I like a lot and I learned so much. She says that joy is an act of resistance. And I think it’s really true.”

In fact, she revealed that she had ended up going to therapy in order to deal with the amount of negativity she faced online. “I am so happy to be able to live authentically and to no longer have this specific experience to inform the decisions I make,” she said, adding “and that This is why we are going to therapy! This is why we are going to support groups! “”

Tran had only positive things to say about the distribution and team of his new film. “When I see other people experiencing joy despite the persecution of their communities, it is such a beautiful, courageous and inspiring thing to see,” she told the publication. “I don’t think I could have done this without the support of my incredible distribution, my team and my friends.”

Tran lived a unique experience on a bizarre predominance set for romantic comedy, which is a remake of the classic cult of 1993 of Ang Lee of the director of “Fire Island” Andrew Ahn.

“I am honestly so sad that this press tour is almost finished because I will fail to see all my friends,” said Tran. “We all came to get in and immediately feeling comfortable to play with each other. As an adult, it is such a difficult thing to do with foreigners, essentially. At the end of it, we were such a chosen family.”

Although she felt comfortable with her identity on the set, she did not mean that she will come out in such a public way.

“I didn’t really want to go out at the start,” said Tran. “Basically, this journalist of VanityDavid Canfield came when we turned on the Korean wedding scene, and the first question he asked me: “What are you the most excited about this project?” And I said, “I am so excited to tell a queer story as a queer person”. And then I was like, wait, I don’t know if I want it in there. I didn’t think about it. “”

She described him as “so kind”, noting that he and producer Joe Pirro approached him about his decision. “”[They] I came to me thereafter, and they both said that if you did not want to disclose this information in the world, you have time to think about it, “she recalls.” The article did not come out for a few months, so they were generous enough to give me time to consider what it meant for me. “”
