Star Wars: Rogue One Drops Major Character Details
Lucasfilm's annual Star Wars Celebration kicked off Friday in London, and news about the upcoming standalone film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story began to break even before the first speaker took the podium.
CinemaBlend posted photos of the Rogue One costumes on display along with accompanying character bios.
Jyn Erso (played by 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 to the Empire. Used to operating alone, she finds higher purpose by taking on a desperate mission for the Rebel Alliance.
Chirrut Imwe (played by Donnie Yen)
Deeply spiritual, Chirrut Imwe believes all things are connected through the Force. His sightless eyes do not prevent him from behing a highly skilled warrior. Though he lacks Force abilities, this warrior monk has rigorously honed his body through intense physical and mental discipline.
Bodhi Rook (played by Riz Ahmed)
A former Imperial pilot, Bodhi has strong piloting and technical skills that he will put to use for the Rebellion. Ever practical, but highly anxious, Bodhi must gather his courage to ring the battle to the Empire.
Baze Malbus (played by 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 Imwe.
Ct. Cassian Andor (played by 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.
