CONVENTION REVIEW: COVCON JUNIOR 2022 by Williams, Gareth on starwarsautographnews.com (March 12, 2022): "A late addition the line-up was Elizabeth Ansari who played x-wing pilot Elna Zibsara in The Rise of Skywalker. It was Elizabeth's first time attending a convention and she did seem a little shocked by all the attention; but was very friendly and appeared really happy to be signing for fans. I know a lot of people like to collect pilots so hopefully we will see Elizabeth at more conventions in the near future." (backup link archived on May 21, 2022)
