Los Angeles: Felicity Jones thinks it is "wonderful" that young girls can look up to her 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' character - Rebel Alliance fighter Jyn Erso.

The 33-year-old is thrilled that young girls have such a strong independent woman to look up to as a role model.

"I just feel it's a wonderful moment that young girls get to celebrate someone like Jyn just as they did with Daisy Ridley's Rey (in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens')," Jones told nydailynews.com.

"She is someone who has great humanity, she has an independent spirit and lives by her beliefs, and I think there's something wonderful about her for a young girl to admire," she added.
