Rumoured details on character motivations in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story have surfaced online.
“Mads Mikkelsen (Galen appears to be his name) is kind of the key to the film in a way. He is a scientist that took over the Geonosian Death Star project. He solved several of the flaws the Empire could not and is sort of a revered person in the Empire for his contributions. However, Mads Mikkelsen’s character is a Robert Oppenheimer type character. Robert Oppenheimer helped design the atomic bomb only to declare “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” The guilt “Galen” feels for his contributions to the Empire become too much and he defects, attempting to make things right. In order to do this, he enlists the help of his only daughter….
Felicity Jones has to undo the devastation her family has unleashed onto the galaxy. Early versions of this character had her as a bounty hunter type of mercenary. But with the familial connections it appears as if this idea might not interface with the final stuff for the character so I’m hesitant to say she’s a bounty hunter/mercenary type in the final iterations of the film. I believe she is probably a scientist type herself in character of the mission to get the plans, added by bounty hunters, in this final iteration. But I could be wrong about that part.”
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled for release on December 16th, 2016.
