Felicity Jones found worldwide fame when she portrayed the role of Jane Wilde in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything. The actor later went on to portray the role of Jyn Erso in the iconic 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The plot was relatively simple as Jyn Erso had allegedly no relevance to the Jedi in the Star Wars universe. However, director Gareth Edwards had a different plan which was later changed.
Felicity Jones’s Jyn Erso Was Supposed To Be A Jedi
In the film, it is shown that Jyn Erso had a non-Jedi mother who was killed by the Galactic Empire. Growing up, she finds comfort in Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor and joins the Rebel squad.

Rogue One stands out from the rest of the entries in the Star Wars franchise, as it steers the story away from the conflict between the Jedi and Sith. It follows the story of Jyn Erso, a member of the Rebel Alliance, who is part of a group that steals the plans for the Death Star.

Despite its unique plot and mostly standalone nature, Rogue One was a critical and commercial success. However, the film nearly made one critical error that would have almost certainly ruined its impact on the audience and legacy. Here is how Rogue One narrowly avoided making a Death Star-sized blunder that has plagued the franchise.

Some of the best "Star Wars" stories are those that give us a break from those drama queens known as the Jedi and shift their focus to how the other side lives in a galaxy far, far way. In a setting populated by space wizards, witches, and mystical entities, there's something instantly relatable about common folk who know nothing of the Force and are, to borrow a turn of phrase from Jango Fett, simple men and women trying to make their way in the universe. It's similar to why everyone loves hobbits in "The Lord of the Rings."
While "Andor" has realized the full potential of this approach, it was its predecessor, 2016's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," that paved the way and has, in return, taken on deeper dimensions thanks to its prequel series. The film's protagonist, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), has no ties to the Jedi; she's...

A return to the Death Star has been in the works since the concept stage of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The trailers for The Rise of Skywalker reveal a lot and nothing at all. The central conflict is still a mystery, although we know Jedi trainee Rey will to go-to-toe with the evil Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, ending her story as it began: among the wreckage of the previous generation’s wars. As revealed in the movie's very first trailer, Rey, Finn, and Poe have to return to the ruins of the Death Star, which now floats over icy blue water on an undisclosed planet.
"It felt like going into the haunted house, the place that you have to go to," director J.J. Abrams told EW regarding the return of the Death Star. “This is a story of people having to grapple with the burden the...

Ever since Andy Serkis’ rasping Supreme Leader uttered the words, “there has been an awakening, have you felt it?” in the very first teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Snoke has become a point of fixation for Star Wars fans clamoring to know more about one of the most powerful forces in the entire galaxy.
Perched on his hologram throne, Serkis’ scarred villain spent most of The Force Awakens barking orders at General Hux and Kylo Ren, as he sought to whip the First Order into shape from some unknown (and presumably safe) location on the other side of the cosmos. Even by Star Wars standards, there are precious few details out there regarding Snoke’s origin – no backstory, no history, not even a full name – but could it be that Timothy Zahn’s canonical novel Thrawn offers some much-needed context?
