Tony Gilroy on possible cameos

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Tony Gilroy was asked whether Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso might appear in Season 2. He responded, "I'm not gonna answer that question fully. We're not really teasers in our show, are we? We don't really tease very much." He further explained, "Everything that we're gonna bring in to get to Rogue One is going to be organic. There's nothing we're bringing in for fun. Or just because somebody wants to see it. It has to be germane to the story."

They were really good narrative reasons, and I know that everybody's been waiting. So, we've done our best to make the most of it. I hope it passes muster."
