Charlu Sisi first appeared in the 2019 Star Wars film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker and was first identified in the reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary. They were portrayed by actress Charlotte Louise, who was also the inspiration for the character's name. A costume concept for the character was created by Calum Alexander Watt based on concept art that Jake Lunt Davies had done for a potential Kijimi resident in the film. Watt was unaware the characters were meant to be dancers and so drew them armed with rifles.
