There have already been several characters announced that will have major roles (i.e. Darth Vader, Mon Mothma) or cameos (i.e Bail Organa). There are a few more characters that are key to the end of this film that I wonder if we will see.
1. Princess Leia - At the beginning of a New Hope we know that Princess is on the run from Darth Vader with the stolen plans. When did she get those plans and from whom? Will we see some form of a lady in a white dress with her hair in buns boarding a Rebel blockade runner?
2. C-3PO - Will we see a certain golden body protocol droid that is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication? We know that he is also on the Rebel blockade runner at the beginning of A New Hope. Will Threepio show up with Bail Organa?
3. R2-D2 - One of the most important little droids to the Star Wars galaxy is C-3PO counterpart R2D2. He has been in every episodic film. He is always in trouble and definitely a part of the action. How did he get the plans? What role will he play in Rogue One?
I do not know if we will see any of these classic characters, but if I had to guess which one is most like to be a part of Rogue One, it would be R2-D2. The other 2 may make some form of a cameo, but I am beginning to think that R2-D2 may play some role in the third act of this film. What do you think? Who might we see? Will R2 play a role in Rogue One?
