If you take social media posts at face value, it's a sweet little kid who seems to have - completely by herself and without any coercion - fixated on a minor character from the original trilogy (something typically frequently discussed by her parents generation and not so much young children who have other developing interests), and decided to act out the scene with cosplayers she saw. To gain further clout with the SW community (or out of genuine love for a dead actress she's probably too young to really miss), she paid homage to the original actress. Someone happened to film every interaction, but that doesn't mean it was her parents. Down votes in 3... 2... 1...
I would love an explanation of how Leia is a minor character in star wars.
Not Lea, the kids character
Do you know what movie Jyn is from?
X-Men: Rogue's revenge? Does Jyn actually meet Lea? Then surely this kid isn't getting the info straight from the screen, but from some extremely keen parents
Original trilogy?
Minor?
