Surprised there are no threads about this casting of Mama Erso but hasn't been officially announced. http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/tv/fall-star-valene-kane-admits-11935240 and here's what we know about Lyra Erso http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/...novel-offers-background-details-on-rogue-one/ this was taken from the book summary. Seems like she most like bites the dust which will be show in flashbacks, any thoughts?
Just like Natalie and Carrie. Valene is a younger woman playing the mother of an older woman. (Flashbacks)
Was anyone else annoyed about how this character was treated in RO? She joins the already well-established club of fridged mothers in Star Wars (RIP) in the first five minutes, and gets herself killed when she clearly had the option of hiding with her child and surviving so she could raise Jyn in hiding. Did anyone see any logic for why she chose to confront Krennic? I couldn't and it just made me roll my eyes.
So here's something interesting. Lyra was actually originally going to be a Jedi. This was subtly hinted at by her having the kyber crystal that she gives to Jyn. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-...oing-to-be-a-jedi-in-rogue-one-a-star-a147682
I'm glad they didn't go down that route. It keeps the film more grounded in the war movie vibe it was going for.
She took the decision to eliminate Krennic & have her family be free of him once & for all, rather than have Galen taken from them again. A completely emotional response to seeing her family about to be ripped apart.
