Felicity Jones Shows Off Her ‘Rogue One’ Fighting Skills On A Very Unprepared Jimmy Fallon

When someone shows up to fight on a talk show, I either feel like I stumbled into an episode of The Eric Andre Show for a second or I know I’m ready to watch a host cower in fear. Conan usually has some fine stunt moments with Steven Ho on his show, but now Jimmy Fallon is getting in on the fun. Felicity Jones is on promoting Rogue One and Fallon decides to bring up some of her fighting techniques from the film. Everybody must really beat some ass in this movie, putting some shame on Luke, Leia, and Han from the original films. Luke could barely fling with his lightsaber and here we have Jyn Erso pulling out crowd control kung fu moves like she’s Stryker in Mortal Kombat.

It looks fun in full motion and looks even better in the clip they show at the end of the segment. It seems like there’s less hype surrounding this film, but it really seems like the kinda thing people have wanted from Star Wars. Yeah, it’s got plenty of stuff to make you ‘member all the stuff you used to love from Star Wars, but it’s not the main series. It shouldn’t face the criticism that it is a rehash like The Force Awakens did upon its release. It’s focusing on those other people that make the main series possible and I don’t see how you couldn’t be for that.

This also once again proves that K-2SO is better than R2-D2 and C3PO in every way possible. Burn all your Droids comics and DVDs because they’re officially garbage.
