Is Qi'ra the Bria Tharen of this story?
A lot of the rumors seem to suggest this is the case. If so, I see that as a good thing.

Part of Tharen's story was already retconned in Rogue One. But the most important part, her relationship and impact on Solo's life, can still be transferred to Qi'ra. I hope this is the case.
