Though a still well kept secret, San Diego Comic-Con proved to be the perfect
opportunity to gather additional details on some of the characters in Gareth Edwards highly
anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen)
Deeply spiritual, Chirrut Îmwe believes all living things are connected
through The Force. His sightless eyes do not prevent him from being a highly
skilled warrior. Though he lacks Force abilities, this warrior monk has
rigorously honed his body through intense physical and mental discipline.
Baze Malbus (Wen Jiang)
The harsh reality of his Imperial-occupied home world has hardened Baze
Malbus into a pragmatic soldier and a crack shot with his heavy repeater
cannon. Baze has a bravado that provides a marked contrast to the spiritual
centeredness of his best friend and moral compass, Chirrut Îmwe.
Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones)
Putting behind a checkered past by lending her skills to a greater cause,
Jyn Erso is impetuous, defiant, and eager to bring the battle of the Empire.
Used to operating alone, she finds higher purpose by taking on a desperate
mission for the Rebel Alliance.
Captain Cassian Andor (Diego
Luna)
An accomplished Alliance Intelligence officer with combat field experience,
Captain Cassian Andor commands respect from his Rebel troops with his ability
to keep a cool head under fire and complete his missions with minimal
resources.
Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed)
A former Imperial pilot, Bodhi has strong piloting and technical skills
that he will put to use for the Rebellions. Ever practical, but highly anxious,
Bodhi must gather his courage to bring the battle to the Empire.
Two Tubes
Edrio Two Tubes is a mercenary pilot who lies alongside his eggmate,
Benthic. They share the nickname derived from the breathing apparatus that
allows Tognath physiology to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio’s native world
of Yar Togna was conquered and occupied by the Empire, forcing him to flee as a
refugee. With a desire to strike back at the Empire, Edrio and Benthic have
allied with Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker).
Director Orson Krennic (Ben
Mendelsohn)
As director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Imperial military, Orson
Krennic is obsessed with the completion of the long-delayed Death Star project.
A cruel but brilliant man, Krennic has staked his reputation on the delivery of
the functional battle station to the Emperor.
Imperial Death Trooper
The elite soldiers of Imperial Intelligence, Death Troopers are encased in
specialized stormtrooper armor with a dark, ominous gleam. These soldiers serve
as bodyguards and enforcers for Director Krennic, a highly placed officer
within the Advanced Weapons Research division of the Empire.
Opening in theaters on
December 16, Rogue One also stars Alan Tudyk, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Alistair
Petrie, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Jonathan Aris.
