Lourd poked fun at her brief appearance as Lieutenant Connix in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, joking that she'll be "doing a little run in" and "a little button pressing."

"Who knows what could happen?" she quipped.

As Leia (Fisher) is now a general in the films, Connix is under her command and is expected to play a bigger part in Episode VIII.
