The Force is strong in Beyoncé.
Though the singer doesn't make a cameo in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, she did shape Felicity Jones' portrayal of rebellion leader Jyn Erso. The actress' favorite track? "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," of course. "Jyn's a single lady," Jones joked in an interview with E! News' Erin Lim over the weekend. To prepare for the role, Jones often found herself watching Beyoncé's Lemonade. "I think she's someone who has incredible power and is devoted to what she does, but she also seems like a very nice person," she said. "I think that's very important to emulate."
To her surprise, training for the role wasn't as difficult as she had imagined. "It was just pure dedication," Jones explained. "I worked really closely with the stunt team, who were just the loveliest group of people. They really held my hand through it, actually, and made it very, very easy and straightforward. We just practiced a hell of a lot—a lot of rehearsal." In fact, she said, "Every moment I had in between scenes, I would go to the stunt room and do a little sequence and practice it so that when I came to set, we knew it would be as a good as possible."
