A heroine truly cut from a different cloth to previous strong females seen in the cinematic STAR WARS saga, not raised in the relative protective shelter of a Royal family or blessed with an Ambassadorial heritage, and with a difficult past and formative years in the build up to the Rebel Alliance against the Empire proving different to anything expeineced by the under no less hardship Rey on the frontier wilderness of Jakku, Jyn Erso's status as a franchise power player icon to be admired and saluted is cemented with Rogue One. In addition to her recent animated appearances in Forces of Destiny, let's hope that the character will sooner rather than later reappear in other substantial areas of the franchise, be they books, comics or a potential pre Rogue One appearnce for the talented Felicity Jones in a standalone movie.
For more on Jyn's captivating and emotional backstory on the path to Rogue One, I recommend the enjoyable page-turner Rebel Rising, a novel by Beth Revis, published in the UK by DISNEY/EGMONT.
