STAR WARS ROUGE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. FELICITY JONES LANDS STAR ROLE BUT WHO WILL SHE BE PLAYING?
Star Wars: Rouge One is on its way in 2016 and Felicity Jones is going to star as a rebel soldier in one of the lead roles in the film. But what character will she be playing?
San Diego Comicon was the launch pad for the new Star Wars era introducing Star Wars: The Force Awakens unveiling the cast and crew and a whole bunch of spoiler stuff. The launch also unveiled the first of the Star Wars Story series with a short trailer of Star Wars: Rouge One. Rouge One is about a band of rebels on a daring mission to steal the death star plans with focus on the ground assult, similar to the battle of Toprawa and Felicity Jones has landed the star role but whom is Felicity playing? Who could it be? This topic raises many theories about the story behind Rouge one and that could it be linked to the books or inspired by the books that brought the popular Han Solo Trilogy. This trilogy introduces many woman that were part of Han Solo’s life including his heart breaking ex girlfriend Bria Tharen who betrayed Han In the Books to steal spice to fund a daring Rebel mission to steal the plans for the Empires mega weapon. Bria at the time was a Rebel commander and founder of the brute Rebel faction named Red Hand Squadron. This to me links both the Han Solo film and Rouge one very nicely and I think Felicity Jones would make a Perfect Bria Tharen or Bria Tharen inspired character. However You could argue that Rouge One should be about Rouge squadron but I don’t think so, as Rouge squadron formed at the battle of Yavin that happened shortly after the battle of Toprawa where I believe Rouge one could be set. This is all speculation but ties in with where Disney wants to go with Rouge One; Bria Tharen also has links to Han Solo, which is rumoured to be the plot around the next Star Wars story film. Bria could be felicity’s character or at least inspired by Bria. There is rumour that the group who steal the death star plans could be bounty hunters and also tie in Bobba Fett movie, or there all Bothens who knows? But we already have pictures of some characters and Bria Tharen and her red hand squadron looks a good bet to me. Never the less im really excited about this movie and it really takes the Star Wars sieris in an interesting direction away from Jedi Family connections and the force ect, and really focusing on some of the unseen heros of the story. The cast for this movie is amazeing with the likes of Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendelsohn, Alan Tudyk, Diego Luna, Forest Whitaker, Donnie Yen, Riz Ahmed, Jonathan Aris, Wen Jiang, Leigh Holland, and of course Felicity Jones all playing there part and the director of the gritty Godzilla movie from 2014 Gareth Edwards is perfect and i expect this movie to be top notch.
