According to IWasRaisedToDoOneThing, an insider has revealed that Tran will play the character of an "information broker". Here is what the website has claimed: "She [Tran] gives Finn [John Boyega] information on the First Order. They meet in a bar that is much fancier than the ones seen in previous films. Tran wears all a dark green (almost brown) jacket that matches her pants and a low cut black top that has some sort of purple pattern on it, belt, and boots."

The website further said that the name of Tran's character is Aya, but warned that it could be a "codename". The untitled Episode VII sequel has reportedly codenamed its title Space Bear.

In The Force Awakens, Finn went to great lengths to save Rey from Kylo Ren's den, but by the end, he was badly injured during his showdown with the dark warrior. The movie ended with Rey defeating the former Ben Solo and leaving the Resistance army in her quest to look for Luke Skywalker. She finally located him in the planet Ahch-To and Episode VIII is expected begin with their first meeting.
