Jyn Erso’s Mother a Jedi in Early Rogue One Draft?

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is out in Digital HD and Entertainment Weekly has been pushing out several fun featurettes promoting the release. One of them tells us that in an early draft of the script, Jyn Erso’s mother was a slain Jedi. You can check out a video discussing the idea after the jump.




Here’s the caption for the video:

“By now we all know Rogue One touches right up against the start of 1977’s original Star Wars, but one early story idea was to have it clearly serve as a bridge to George Lucas’ prequel trilogy and the Clone Wars.”
