Even after the cancellation of Hannibal, Mads Mikkelsen is a very busy actor. He was recently cast in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in a good guy role and is rumoured to be playing a villain role (which he is more commonly known for) in Marvel’s Doctor Strange film. Talking about the former, it seems Mikkelsen may have ‘accidentally’ divulged the name of his character in Rogue One.
Given that we weren’t expecting any character names to be revealed for a while (especially when the cast was only announced several weeks ago) it’s very interesting that we may have one character name already. Mikkelsen recently appeared at Fan Expo Canada and signed an autograph on a Star Wars poster where he wrote and underlined the name “Galen” on the poster.
Even though this doesn’t come from Lucasfilm or Disney directly, it can be said that this is solid but I’m kind of surprised that Mikkelsen is allowed to reveal his character’s name so soon (unless the name is false).
If the character name is true, the character wouldn’t be the first in Star Wars history to be called Galen- the real name of the main character in The Force Unleashed video games was Galen Marek.

A lot more attention has been paid to the Star Wars comics since Marvel started working on Star Wars comics again, and the announcement that comics (as well as everything else) released would be part of the official canon. There are currently several great Star Wars comic series being released.
While this one may not be a full series, an exciting standalone Star Wars comic issue has been announced.
C-3PO will be getting a one-shot comic titled- “Star Wars Special: C-3P0 #1”.
The book will be part of the Journey to The Force Awakens program and set in between Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. It will reveal how C-3PO gets the red arm he has in The Force Awakens (as featured in the behind the scenes reel and in an action figure two-pack from Hasbro).
The crew working on the comic includes writer James Robinson and artist Tony Harris.
The standalone C-3PO comic will be released in December, the same month as The Force Awakens.
