A SCOTS supermodel is set to become immortalised as a Star Wars toy after landing a small part in the new Rogue One film.

And she has revealed she also has a role in the Absolutely Fabulous film, which will hit cinemas in the summer.

Eunice Olumide, 28, was in Glasgow today backing a campaign by Zero Waste Scotland to encourage people to reuse things in a bid to save the planet.

The model, who has worked with Vivienne Westwood and walked for Mulberry and Henry Holland, said she was very excited about her upcoming film roles.

In Star Wars Rogue One, part of a standalone series of films, Eunice plays a rebel leader.

She said: “I did a small feature in Star Wars Rogue One. That was a really awesome experience. I don’t have lines but it was an incredible experience to be part of such an iconic film.

“I was originally supposed to play a nomad, but since I’m athletic I ended up playing a rebellion leader.

“There’s a small scene where I run and there’s a tank that comes after me with 20 stormtroopers. There’s loads of explosions.

“I kept getting a fright whenever the explosions went off.”

And she has also been scanned into the George Lucas Archives, meaning she will be immortalised as a Star Wars toy.

She said: “If my scene gets cut or not cut I was entered into the George Lucas Archives. I got into a 3D scanner and they did a scan.

“They scan all the characters so they can reproduce individual toys or computer games.

“I will be a toy. It was an amazing experience.”
