Malia Baker Reveals Her Dream Role Beyond ‘Descendants’: “I’m Begging” for ‘Star Wars’

Rising Disney star Malia Baker has set her sights on a galaxy far, far away. The Descendants actress, best known for playing Chloe Charming in Descendants: The Rise of Red, recently revealed her biggest career ambition: joining the Star Wars universe. Although she’s grateful for her Disney success, Baker says landing a role in the iconic sci-fi franchise would be a dream come true.

When asked about the role she’d most like to play next, Baker didn’t hesitate. She placed Star Wars at the top of her wish list and even joked that she’s “begging” for the opportunity. She explained that expansive fantasy worlds have always inspired her and believes working in the Lucasfilm franchise would challenge her as an actress and help her grow creatively.

Her comments quickly excited fans, with many praising her versatility and saying they’d love to see her become part of the Star Wars universe.

Baker has built impressive momentum over the past few years. Before joining Disney’s Descendants franchise, she earned praise for her performances in Netflix’s The Baby-Sitters Club and Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

She won over audiences as Chloe Charming, Cinderella’s daughter, in Descendants: The Rise of Red. Her performance made Chloe one of the film’s standout characters and established Baker as one of the franchise’s breakout stars.

Even as she looks toward new opportunities, Baker isn’t ready to leave the magical world of Descendants. She and co-star Kylie Cantrall have both expressed interest in returning if Disney continues the franchise. Following the success of The Rise of Red, the studio has already approved additional installments.

At just 19, Baker has already established herself as one of Hollywood’s most promising young actors. She continues to expand her résumé with roles across family entertainment, streaming series, and fantasy films.

Whether she returns to Auradon or eventually joins the Star Wars galaxy, Baker continues to pursue some of the entertainment industry’s most iconic franchises. Her ambition—and rapidly growing career—suggests she’s only getting started.
