Elizabeth Dulau is an actress best known for her role as Kleya Marki in the Star Wars television series Andor, a prequel to the 2016 film Rogue One. She graduated from London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and was cast in Andor shortly after finishing her studies.
In Andor, Dulau’s character Kleya Marki is a crucial figure in the nascent Rebel Alliance. Kleya is the trusted associate and communications expert to Luthen Rael (played by Stellan Skarsgård), a key leader in the rebellion. Their relationship is deeply explored in the series, revealing a backstory where Luthen found Kleya as a child hiding during a genocidal raid on her home planet, and they formed a father-daughter-like bond as they built their resistance network together.
Kleya’s character gained significant narrative importance in the second season of Andor, especially in the final episodes where her tragic backstory and her pivotal role in the rebellion are revealed. She is portrayed as a skilled and unflappable operative who ultimately makes a heartbreaking sacrifice to ensure vital information about the Empire’s Death Star project reaches the Rebel Alliance.
Elizabeth Dulau has been praised for her performance, with creator Tony Gilroy comparing her to Meryl Streep in terms of her acting caliber and stating that there is “not a moment of bad film” from her in the series. This role has effectively woven Dulau into Star Wars lore, connecting her character to the larger saga that began in the 1970s.
