    One of the new cast reveals for Rogue One is listed as:
    "Gabrielle Fritz – plays a Lyra Erso’s (whoever that is) picture double"

    Seems very likely Lyra Erso be the name of the character Felicity Jones is playing. The actress looks similar.

    10219461-picsay.jpg Well they do look a lot alike. Gabriele is 4 inches taller though. Not sure how that would 'stack up' for a photo double. I know they are usually for far away shots but if she is close to any other character or say a stormtrooper...

    Yes, it's quite a difference in height. Depends on the type of shots they would need her for, I suppose.

    The double is not only taller but also looks a lot older with maybe her brig S double of an older version of the character (?)

    That name isn't listed anymore on Fritz's page. Perhaps it was removed because it was added too soon. She could be Jyn's mother or sister.

    Doesn't the main page write-up also state that her name isn't really "Lyra Erso/ (I think)

    Trivia: Lyra is the protagonist of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials book series, the first of which was written and directed for the cinema by Rogue One writer Chris Weitz.

    I think it'd be reasonable to assume that due to the actress' age that Lyra Erso will be used in a flashback of sorts for when Jyn was a young girl (as seen from the behind-the-scenes reel).

    I'm really looking forward to seeing that if it's the case. We'd get to see how this family were effected by The Clone Wars... :D

    I think your assumption is correct and I'll be shocked if you are wrong.
