Hollywood has a long, not-so-proud history of not giving audiences an abundance of strong female characters.
Not so with the upcomingStar Warsstandalone film,Rogue One.
Jones says Jyns strength can be viewed in all the details surrounding the character, including her wardrobe.

Its literally down to the costume.
I didnt want her to be kind of running around in a tank top, a sleeveless top.
It should be just that shes focused on what she has to be doing.
She has a very particular task ahead of her and thats where the focus is.
Were not objectifying her.
Were not looking at her body.
Its important to theRogue Onestar that Jyn is seen as a character, as opposed to an object.
And thats at the forefront of your mind when youre watching the film.
They all have their own story.
And those stories are very diverse, much like the characters and the actors playing them as well.
I think that the whole idea of revisitingStar Warsis very smart, says the actor.
Youre like, No, no, no, this is a galaxy far, far away!
Dont take it personal.
Its not about you.
It is a film about heroes that are taking control of their reality and shaping their reality.
And its the people.
Its the most grounded film.
There are no Jedis, no superpowers.
Its just regular people like you and I doing extraordinary things.
