Will Emilia Clarke’s Han Solo character get her own Lego set?
By Josh Hill
The world found out what Emilia Clarke’s Han Solo character name is, but what about the status of her own Lego set.
It’s never too early for some Lego Star Wars speculation, especially when a film is begging for it.

Wednesday saw a Lego catalog page go viral because it supposedly is branded with the Han Solo movie title. Later in the day, Emilia Clarke’s character name was revealed in an interview with Variety.
The beans were spilled by Michael K. Williams, who told the world that Clarke’s character will be named Kira. Not much beyond that is known about her character but we can start the speculation about whether or not she will get a Lego set dedicated to the character.
Before you go thinking wow, what a lame ass way to try and connect some Star Wars news to Lego, think about it how perfect it is. We’re talking about more than just a Star Wars character, we’re talking about Khaleesi herself, providing the folks at Disney a chance to crossover two massive fan bases with one awesome Lego set.
Clarke’s role as Daenerys Targeryen on Game of Thrones has made her a star. The fact that she’s now going to be a part of the Star Wars universe is very significant and she deserves her own set. We don’t know how large of a role she plays but that doesn’t matter. If we can turn the fifth pilot in Red Squadron into a huge thing, why can’t we get behind making Clarke’s character a big deal too?
