Tran stated:
“Last Jedi was my first movie, you know? So, I think I’m finally starting to realize that when you’re in something of that caliber there’s so many people working to make something out of love. And no matter what you do there’s always going to be people that aren’t happy with that.”
She continued, “But I think that the best lesson I’ve learned, is just to have fun and be present in the moment. So, I’m really grateful that I got to be part of it.”
