Rumour- Details on Rogue One A Star Wars Story Characters Revealed

While little is known about the characters or anything else in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, new rumoured details on the characters have made their way online.

*This is only a rumour and may or may not be accurate. However, if you’re looking to avoid any details regarding Rogue One this is your official SPOILER alert warning.*

The rumoured details read as follows:

“Apparently there’s a sequence in the film where Felicity Jones and Diego Luna go into disguise. It sounds a little like A New Hope, right? There’s a slight difference; they’re not Stormtroopers.

In the film she dresses up as a Imperial Gunner. Diego Luna’s character doesn’t, instead he goes for a higher commanding station and dresses up as an Imperial Commander. It sounds a little like some A New Hope hijinks in a way. With the more serious nature of this film, I do wonder if it will be a bit more tactical than sneaking around a battle station. Gareth Edwards did make it abundantly clear to us at Celebration that A New Hope is his favorite Star Wars film.

Alan Tudyk’s character has been described to me as a more than a droid. He’s a commando droid and he looks really cool. Details are being withheld for now and I wish I knew more about him.

Here is a little on the codenames for various factions and what they might tell us about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story:

• Felicity Jones’ character is codenamed Green Seal Leader by the production.
• Seal Communicator Blue is Jiang Wen’s character (the guy with the red armor on behind Donnie Yen in the cast photo).
• Eel Commander is Forest Whitaker’s character. This faction destination has led me to speculate he’s a bounty hunter affiliated character.
• Seal Droid is Alan Tudyk’s character.
• The bad guys have codenames related to sharks.
• The factions when coded amount to seals, eels, and sharks.

There is a bad guy or person of some importance to the Empire. His main feature is a huge majestic white cape with a slit in the back. In the film there is a beautiful shot of this Imperial treading through a shallow body of water with said cape trailing him. The figure that wears it appears to be an older male. I’m told he has a badass sidearm and a really cool name. We’re fairly certain this is Ben Mendelshon’s character but that’s not 100% or verified at this time.

Another shot shows him walking through legions of Stormtroopers and other Imperials. The shot was described as harkening back to the shots in Return of the Jedi where Darth Vader and the Emperor meet. Supposedly the cape looks really neat and is rather impressive.

It isn’t Mads Mikkelsen by the sound of things. Mikkelsen wears earth tones in terms of his costume. There’s a shot of him in an impressive golden colored field. So by the sound of things, he isn’t the guy in the white cape unless he loses it later on in the film or something like that. But hey, we can at least place him in a setting now.”

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled for release on December 16^th, 2016.
