History WMG / RogueOne

Or at least the new canon's equivalent of him. It's a very off-the-wall theory, but if one looks closely, one notices Donnie Yen's character is blind (having the trademark milky white eyes). He also seems to be wearing suspiciously Jedi-like robes and cane. Add to this Donnie Yen being a expert martial artist, the kind who'd fit for a Jedi and we have a case. A blind rebel alliance member (possibly Jedi)? Sounds like Kota. Now, in TFU, Kota lost his access to the force temporarily when he was blinded, and thus he wouldn't be "A Jedi" at least for the time being, thus [[ExactWords there are no Jedi in his movie, as stated]].

Not my theory, but some fans have pointed out [[https://twitter.com/eleventhirtyate/status/632682943744503809 that they look similar]].

* [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Ahsoka Tano]] (Assuming [[spoiler:she survives ''Rebels'']]).

** Possibly, though at some point after the wars, the Empire sterilized Geonosis.
*** Perhaps ''that'' is the first planet the Death Star destroyed. One of the characters could be a Geonosian that was off-world, and is working for revenge. [[HeelFaceTurn Or used to develop the Death Star.]]
**** Nope, the planet still exists in ''ComicBook/StarWarsDarthVader''.

[[WMG: MadsMikkelsen's character will be an Imperial.]]

[[http://s8.postimg.org/fyjzww5yt/Tarkin.jpg Just look at this.]] Furthermore, given that the movie is about the Death Star, it would make perfect sense for the character to appear in the plot.

No way those VillainousCheekbones won't be put to good use.

* Bail and Leia Organa; the end of the film will lead directly to ''Film/ANewHope'' just before the latter's capture.

* Captain Ozzel and Commander Piett (the former's incompetence results in the stolen plans).

* A new version of Kyle Katarn.

* They did have the original design of the Death Star, and they do bear a grudge with the Empire.

* Bail and Leia Organa; the end of the film will lead directly to ''Film/ANewHope'' just before the latter's capture.

As we see a lush, green planet, we get a cornucopia of overlapping voices that get increasingly frantic...and are suddenly silenced.

Jones and Daisy Ridley do share some traits, and some of the actresses that were in the running for the role share some as well. Admittedly this only works if Rey isn't Leia's daughter, as Jones isn't playing Leia.
