Legions of Star Wars fans got an early Christmas present this week, with the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Just in time for the movie premier, cosplayer and serious Star Wars devotee Rebellion Barbie debuted her spot-on Jyn Erso.

We wanted to shoot somewhere with the feel of the incredible locations in Rogue One. Sadly, we didn’t have time to travel to Iceland or the Maldives. Fortunately, Castle Island in Boston provided some excellent alternatives.

In the first of two galleries, Jyn is outside a run-down, gritty fort, reminiscent of the prisons across the Star Wars galaxy. Stay tuned for the second gallery, featuring shots from the black sand beaches of Eadu.
