one thing that really interests me if we’re going full on rebelcaptain costume drama/regency au is that i think jyn is absolutely the woman who has neither notions nor interest of romance and is circumstantially interested in making a decent enough match with a good enough, for now, man who hopefully will neither hurt her nor abandon her completely (not that she believes fully that either is the case.) i think there’s retrospectively and maybe ahistorically a lot of denigration of the fictional women who were interested in just like, having a good enough marriage without sentiment being involved, finding a man reliable enough to have a sturdy home, but if you were to put here into the regency genre i think that’s where she’d be and I find that interesting
#like she's the 27+ charlotte lucas figure who just needs to ensure some means of financial support and that krennic no longer remains her#guardian. leia is the elizabeth bennet in this analogy#no jyn doesn't marry the collins#but i do think if it's regency she's the one who circumstantially finds the nice lawyer and is like. eh good enough. we only have to see#each other occaisionally#and then wakes up 15 years later to realise she's been madly in love with her husband this Whole time#and just wasn't quite accustomed to this feeling. nor could she recognise what it was#jyn erso#rebelcaptain
