    LucasFIlm Ltd.

    "Nothing happens between them because they never had a chance, but the way Cassian looked at Jyn the whole film just destroyed me. Their chemistry is the closest to the Han/Leia dynamic we've gotten since then, but the ELEVATOR SCENE. Her arms around his neck, the lights going on and off and the way they're looking at each other? Just 🥵! It feels so private and intimate and devastating all at once. They say so much without saying anything, and now I'm emotional just writing this!"
