Glamour magazine sits down for a coffee with Jyn Erso herself Felicity Jones and discuss a number of topics including the potential sexualisation of Jyn.
GLAMOUR: She does have that Han Solo–esque belt! Gwendoline Christie, who played the first female Star Wars villain in The Force Awakens, said she loved how her character’s costume was sort of defeminized, utilitarian. Was yours always going to be the same way, or did you have to push back against attempts to sex it up?
FJ: Not for a second. Everyone wanted to create a character that was not in any way objectified. We didn’t want to sexualize Jyn.
GLAMOUR: So there’s no moment where Jyn is suddenly a prisoner in a gold bikini.
FJ: No way. [Laughs.] We don’t even see Jyn’s arms! That’s not her priority. She’s a survivor, and she has a mission to complete.
