Spoilers, spoilers and spoilers….Please turn your gaze away if you’re one of the people who wants to keep Rogue One a mystery. Turn away………
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The coolest thing is that we have names. A German website, Jedi-Bibliotek, has released pages of a not yet released tie-in novel, for Rogue One. In it, we have names for the lead characters, new ships and confirmation of the inclusion of a very important character.
The first thing is the realization of the actors and the characters they are playing, the first being someone we already knew about, Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, a gifted warrior and soldier.
Here are the rest of the characters and who they are, starting with the ‘Heroes of The Rebel Alliance’:
- Diego Luna is Captain Cassian Andor, a Rebel Alliance Officer.
- Jiang Wen is Baze, a “freelance assassin.”
- Riz Ahmed is Bodhi, another rebel soldier.
- Donnie Yen is Chirrut, a “spiritual warrior.”
- Pao and Bistan, two “fierce warrior” alien characters, both with no actor names attached.
And on the Imperial side:
- Ben Mendelssohn as Director Krennic, the military director of the Empire, to defend the Galactic Empire against the Rebels mission to steal the Death Star plans.
We don’t know, positively, who Mads Mikkelsen’s character is, but we suspect he’s Jyn Erso’s father.
We do know that Alyn Tudyk’s character is a droid by the name of K-250, an Imperial model enforcer droid that somehow ends up on the Rebel’s side.
Also, yes to Deathtroopers!!!!
There are TWO new ships! First, the Tie Striker:
AND the U-Wing:
And for the final confirmation of big daddy showing up in Rogue One, we have this page:
Duh, duh, duh, dah duh do, dah duh do….Darth Vader, front and center.
Rogue One will be out in theaters in 7 months December 16th, 2016.
