"I can take out the guards at the perimeter. Signalman, pilot, hell I'll just take them all out."
―Val, to Tobias Beckett
Val was highly secretive about her past, including her full name. All that was known about her past was that she grew up on Solarine and her father was a musician, and she was named after the valachord musical instrument.
By the reign of the Galactic Empire, Val was already working with the scoundrel Tobias Beckett and the Ardennian pilot Rio Durant. They formed a crew which carried out risky though profitable heists. She and Beckett, in addition, shared a romantic relationship.
"We talked about it a little bit, you know, I feel like Beckett saved her life at some point, and I feel like it may have been perilous for him to do that, so there's a sense of gratitude and loyalty there."
―Thandiwe Newton about Val's backstory
Val was portrayed by Thandiwe Newton in the 2018 Star Wars Anthology film Solo: A Star Wars Story. Newton's casting in the film was first announced on February 21, 2017. Her name was revealed with a set of promotional images sent out to various news websites alongside the teaser trailer.
In the DVD commentary of Solo, Newton revealed her thoughts about Val's backstory which she discussed with the filmmakers, stating that she likes to feel that Tobias Beckett saved Val from a dangerous situation at some point and that it was perilous for him to do that, earning Val's gratitude and loyalty in the process. The look of Val was inspired by pictures of female members of the Viet Cong and Black Panther Party, along with civil rights activist Angela Davis.
