“The Jyn and Cassian relationship. Believe it or not, I wasn’t often thinking about romance. That’s not to say that the “what could have been” feel isn’t in there (I think your description is nicely put), but my focus was on capturing the intensity of the relationship first and foremost. That felt absolutely necessary to me–Cassian, a hardened spy, goes through some major emotional changes thanks to this woman he’s only known for a few days. For that to make sense she had to be a presence in his world, something powerful, and that’s what I wanted to sell to the reader.”
