Felicity Jones Explains The Name Jyn Erso

"Rogue One" star Felicity Jones talks about her biggest fear before taking on the "Star Wars" role, and where the character's name came from.

[VPHLIPERS]

Jyn Erso is also loosely based off the name Jan Ors, a character in the Star Wars Dark Forces series who was a spy.

I love this woman so hard

I'd like to see Felicity Jones in Episode 9 of the Star Wars sequel -if they can find some sort of role similarly heroic to what we saw in Rogue One that would be fantastic.

[Graftanker]

The best Star Wars movie next to Empire by far.

Spoiler of the end in this interview. Don't watch if haven't seen.

[WinnerMK]

She's ready to be married, haha wedding dress.

[gudmundursteinar]

jyn as in gynocologist or misogynist (as in pertaining to or connected to a uterus) and erso as in usrsa major (big bear or big dipper constellation) or ursula (name for a woman meaning bear).... yes, she is literally named "she bear".

[Morfeusm]

Actually her name is a nod to character in EU, which helped to steal Death Star plans.

[HD_Simplicityy]

She has a deep voice like Daisy Ridley, and almost as pretty.

[underakillingmoon]

It's obvious. She did not like Star Wars as a child.

[fernicusmaximus]

Even in that ugly dress she looks gorgeous.

[Quincy_Morris]

The name is just a bastardization of "Jan Ors" who the character was obviously based on. Actually all the characters in R1 were obviously taken from the characters of Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn. Just cut up into bits.

I don't buy it. It seems she did not even enjoyed playing Jyn and furthermore does not seem to be proud being a part of Star Wars afterall.
