She is fangirling so hard. I'm really happy they got someone so excited and into it for the role.

Xoltan The Conqueror she sounds like me I would pay an arm an leg and an organ to be in a Star Wars movie video game or tv show
I said it in the other video an I say it again: I love how emotional Janina is about this.You can really feel how happy she is to be Iden!

Hi father.
Omg she's such an incredible nerd! I love her
Oh man. She is SO wonderful.
Her enthusiasm has me so excited for this game & I'm not even a Battlefront fan. I just might give in & buy this game when it comes out.

awww she's so passionate about it i love it
Can she just be involved with everything EA Star Wars from now on? I would be totally sold with her hosting the EA Press Conference forever.
Can we ship Jaina Gavankar and Sam Witwer just because video games mocap reasons? We can also ship Starkiller and Iden!

She's so adorable!
Honestly, this will be cool. We've almost always seen the heroes of the Rebellion. Seeing it from the Imperial side will be interesting.

Noah S Yes that's my biggest concern aswell. As far as I know the Rebellion will be portraied as the evil unwashed guy's. I do really hope that the rebels will kill innocents for a 'bigger cause' or something like that... But we can be prepared for a dark story i guess.
She's a great fun ball of energy. I enjoy seeing people so passionate about Star Wars, especially people that are getting important roles in projects. Good for you Janina, I'm happy for you! I'm looking forward to reading the book and playing the game. The new Battlefront sounds so much more interesting than the first one. I hope there's a lot to the single player campaign mode.
She's actually a gem like omg. Aside from her being gorgeous her enthusiasm and personality are infectious and you just want to like her 😍👌
The force is strong in this one

You listened to the Twitter requests mine as well. Thanks for the extended interview!!!
That's really cool that they're giving her such a proactive role in the marketing. She has a great personality.
Ooh, I like the "opening a fan" metaphor for the arc of a season television! Great interview, thanks for posting the extended version.
Janina's so cool and seeing he be emotional bout Star Wars makes her so amazing
She seems really excited to be a part of the project and is appreciative of the opportunity. All really huge positives for casting! Can't wait for the single player campaign, and book.
I adore Janina Govankar. It's great to have someone involved with Star Wars who is as much a geek as the rest of us. I can't wait for Battlefront 2!
How awesome! Its really her! :)
Janina is so beautiful!
thx for this upload!
This person is surprisingly relatable bc of the way her adhd makes her talk and enthusiasm of star wars
oMG looking forward to this
I definitely can't wait for the single player campaign of Battlefront 2 as well as book with exploring the character backstory and also this interview is really awesome incredible.

I read the book it's amazing
She is very very talented and not only that she seems like a genuinely awesome person! Loved her in BF2.
Any of y'all who autistically screech "SJW!!!!!" Should know that she is genuinely excited for her role and I would prefer an excited female lead over a uninterested Male lead.

Janina & Andi are both so gorgeous. Plus genuine SW nerds. Perfect combo! Great inerview
Every time I see something Star Wars related I scream ''STARRRRRR WARRRRRRRS!!!!!!!!'' in joy!
Thank you!!!!!
she is so energetic and happy about this
Love love love!!!
Im so happy she is actually real, totally had the hots for her character, bought BF2 yesterday (PC) Almost finished the story mode.
I never saw this extended video, I don’t think! ANDI plus JANINA! Much swooooooon. :)
Her character was a hardcore gamer on Mysteries of Laura, too. Love that she is an advocate in real life.
I wasn't that excited about her character but i love this actress now so I'm good
"That's a goal to achieve period." You achieved it, woman.
Amazing interview, thanks! I was expecting more bleeps, though... :D
I'm hyped for battlefront 2.
I thought it was Erso at first which made think she was related to Jyn Erso lol

Her enthusiasm is a serious selling point for me on this game
this girl is legit I would love to see her in a live action Star Wars movie
passion becomes art
A true fan! :)
Best interview in history!!!
Very deep story!!
love her vibe
Janina Gavankar is a blessing upon the earth.
She appears to be a genuine geek and seems really enthusiastic about the game. I also liked her performance at the EA E3 show. Who knows, if she turns out to be good in SW: BF2 I would love to see her casted for a Star Citizen episode one day.
Oh man 😍😍😍
She's so cool
Yes Im excited to Know more About as Well play with her she seems like shes going to be a Staple character in The Star Wars Universe plus to she is officialy the first canon character in a Video Game
She was a perfect actor for Iden Versio and she deserved so much better than the sub par writing she was given for the game, the novel proves it. The old saying, “The Book Was Better,” has never been truer than this.
Wow her likeness in game is incredible!
The single player campaign is actually really good! :) Plus, Janina does a great job!
Can’t wait to play the campaign.
I think im in love... shes awesome!
She is so hyped . 😀
When your actual name is Iden and your looking through "Recommended" and you see this video. Me: Wai wah?
Welcome to Star Wars Janina. 👍
Oh my god she's a true nerd!XD She is my new favorite star wars actor!
I feel like people are going to really love her just like they love Ashley and others from the Star Wars anthology. She's so in it, and fans love that. I'm sure she's going to be an amazing addition to the Star Wars family.
The reason they made Iden look like her is that they are going to make a movie about Inferno Squad as the anthology film after the Han Solo one!
Looking forward to the game as much as the new movie
I love her Star Wars name.

Janina Zione Gavankar needs to be in the next movie.
OMG she's so cooool
Oh my god I love her lol
Janina 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She is like a completely different person than the Janina I saw at the EA conference during E3
I hope they do a spinoff of her 😭😭😭
I scrolled past the video quickly, and thought the thumbnail said "Jaina", like Jaina Solo.
fangirling over amy hennig lol i love it
she was the best thing at E3, FACTS!
Life is getting very strange. Just picked up BF2 and someone I just met looks identical to her.
♥
I have too many spirit animals as it is, but Janina just became another one :D
Will there be under water sea battle in Star Wars battle front 2 or 3 play as sea trooper or sea battle droid fight under water of ocean planet I like to play in future !?
I think regardless of what happens, one thing I'm kinda impressed with is how the campaign is full on team imperial. No rebellion or switching to rebellion, but Empire all the way. Not gonna lie we don't get that many games like that, so kudos to them.
Will there be new Star Wars weapons like saber hammer (laser sword hammer) or lightsaber triton or double lightsaber triton !?
Glad she's so into the role! Its always awesome to be excited. Could do without the "oh i'm a poor female, life is so difficult in the game industry" but whatever.
So now she's been in Stargate AND Star Wars ;D
The reactions in this video would do a great remix
@3:50 Get it Janina! I love her :D
I remember her from the league
Kind of wish they would make games based on the movies, like "Star Wars: The Video Game" "Empire Strikes Back: The Video Game"
