Fans have wasted no time speculating that Jyn Erso could be Rey's long-lost mother from The Force Awakens. To be fair, pretty much every female who is cast in a Star Wars film ends up being tagged with the "Rey's Mom?" label -- ask Laura Dern, who's playing an unspecified part in next year's Episode VIII. But a similar physical appearance between Jones and Daisy Ridley, a shared independent streak, and scenes like this beat-down of old-school stormtroopers, which mirror's Rey's self-defense moves against Unkar Plutt's thugs, only add more circumstantial evidence to that theory.
