Well this blowout was unexpected!
Multiple sources have released images from a 10-page preview of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide. It was originally released in the Edelweiss catalog as part of a Macmillan Winter 2016 preview, but we have our hands on the images and they are oh so sweet.
SPOILER ALERT
The images give a detailed look into both the empire and the rebels, a few CGI alien characters who will be joining our heroes, and a peek at Alan Tudyk’s droid character, who was originally aligned with the Empire.
Here are some of what can be gathered from the images (from a galaxy far, far away):
- Felicity Jones plays Jyn Erso, a highly skilled soldier and warrior.
- Diego Luna plays Captain Cassian Andor, an officer in the Rebel Alliance.
- Jiang Wen plays Baze, a freelance assassin
- Alan Tudyk plays K-250, an enforcer droid.
- Riz Ahmed plays Bodhi, a rebel soldier.
- Uknown plays Pao, an alien who is described as a “fierce warrior”. Another CGI character.
- Donnie Yen plays Chirrut, who is described as “a spiritual warrior.”
- Unknown plays Bistan, another CG-looking alien who is also described as “fierce warrior”.
Well it sounds like we are not lacking in new characters to explore and fall in love with. Here’s hoping they are all utilize to their full potential and in this brand-new take on the Star Wars universe.
