KING-OF-WINTERFELL Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 What think of Rachel Brosnahan as Lyanna Stark in a possible Robert's Rebellion prequel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Brosnahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 She might work. I haven't seen any of her acting, but she's close enough on the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne of House Vakarian Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 She 'd look great as Lyanna.The only thing she needs is darker hair.Other than that, she looks kind of how I imagined her.I could also see http://d1mxyp5ceukbya.cloudfront.net/images/grace-phipps-ones-to-watch-vampire-diaries.jpg Grace Phipps as a Stark.

The Taxman Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yeah she could. She was hot in House of Cards playing an escort and having lesbian scenes. Definitely right down Lyanna's alley to be quite frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Spark of House Spark Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nice but she looks more like Sansa Stark than Arya Stark IMO. Perhaps it is the Tully hair colouring in the Imdb pic. Couldn't see a pic on the wikipedia link. Maybe 'cos I'm on phone atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseA Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 No and no. Both actresses are just wrong for Lyanna. Rachel is not, in my opinion, beautiful enough, would not work even with darker hair. Grace's face isn't even long, it's pretty roundish and her eyes are blue, not dark/grey.Currently I do not have a better suggestion, but Lyanna should be a dark-haired, long-faced, dark-eyed beauty!

cheeseA Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 She'd be waaaaaaaay better! :) if there only would be a younger, british-er version ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She exactly how I picture Lyanna, just too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She definitely needs to have dark hair and brown eyes on the show, if she's Jon's mom. Unless Rhaegar was supposed to have brown eyes, which would be too different from the Targ look we know from Dany and Viserys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think that anyone they may get will be relatively/completely unknown to us. Any actor I know that comes to mind is too old for a prequel, and that includes Cobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseA Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think Rhaegar had the Targeryen look... I'm sure they'll make a splendid decision. When mentioning Cobie, I remembered this girl, who played her imagionary daughter in HIMYM, Andra Nechita, and with some lenses, there is a possibility she could pull it off... https://www.google.si/search?q=andra+nechita&espv=2&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=KFysU4WkNum7ygPvlYHwBQ&ved=0CBwQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=667 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanna is at least a 9.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel of Winterfell Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 After hearing she had been cast in Star Wars Episode VII, I think Daisy Ridley would make a good Lyanna. I've also thought that Rachel Shelley would be good for Lyanna if they did like some sort of flashback, like if Lyanna was alive during the events of the series.

Ruin Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 For the show, when it comes time to reveal Jon's parents, WE HAVE TO HAVE A FLASHBACK SCENE. Either via Bran's new superpowers, or Howland retelling it to whoever (probably Jon). In this scene, I still think Lyanna should be played by Katie McGrath. Rachel Brosnahan would also be perfect for the role, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Morgana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Rhaegar was supposed to have brown eyes, which would be too different from the Targ look we know from Dany and Viserys. :agree: People seem to forget that she would be cast for the show so would have to look like Kit Harrington who looks nothing like Ned and certainly does not have the Targ look. The brown eyes are essential, they are too noticeable. I always hated in the Harry Potter movies how Harry was constantly told he had his mothers eyes and then in the flashback she had vivid brown eyes. It was such a huge flaw and something I find hard to overlook. Adelaide Kane is a female Kit Harrington- http://images.hngn.com/data/images/full/16107/adelaide-kane.jpg?w=600 She isn't how I picture Lyanna but she would be perfect for the show's portrayal.
