* Wedge Antilles, to throw a bone to the fans expecting the original Rogue Squadron. We know Dennis Lawson was asked to reprise his role for ''The Force Awakens'', but he turned it down, possibly out of concern that Wedge would be subject to SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome. Naturally, a prequel to the first movie [[SavedByCanon wouldn't have that problem]].

[[WMG: No major characters from other Star Wars films will appear]]
We might see minor characters from the ''A New Hope'' era. But, if the Death Star plans are handed over to anyone, it won't be a re-cast or CGI Leia. We won't see Luke and Han arriving at Yavin IV ready for the next battle. Mon Mothma looks like she is doing a good job, anyway. All the stuff that happens in other movies stays in those movies. Rogue One will be a neatly self contained story.

[[WMG: One of the planets the protagonists will go to will be [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Lothal]]]]
Considering that Lothal is heavily implied to be involved in the construction of the Death Star, it's not out of the question that Jyn's team will land there at some point.

[[WMG: Diego Luna's character is Kyle Katarn.]]
Appears to be the secondary protagonist and teamed up with Jyn Erso (who might be a Jan Ors expy) to steal the Death Star plans.

Judging by the newest teaser trailer's ending, we see Jyn Erso in an Imperial Soldier attire while the voiceover narrates "What will you become?". In the main page, the ShadesOfConflict trope says that the film is 'gray', and that the Jyn Erso herself appears to be an AntiHero who's only convinced to work for the Rebellion only because of her skills. Presumably, circumstances will drive Jyn to betray the Rebellion at one point, either to maintain her cover or because she sees the Rebellion as NotSoDifferent from the Empire after all and lose faith in their cause. Either way, it will end up with her defeating the film's main villain who's a high-ranking Imperial Agent (whoever the man in the white cape is in the trailer) then replaces his position, changing her name, rising through the ranks and eventually becoming An Emperor's Hand.

The two will have met some time after ''Return of the Jedi'' (or MAYBE at the end of ''Rogue One'' in a fangasm-inducing cameo from Luke), fallen in love and had Rey - by far the most popular parentage theory post-TFA is that Rey is Luke's daughter, so this would fit.

He will be far more sympathetic figure in comparison to other Empire characters. And for all future WMGs that go with this theory, Whitaker's officer will be named [[Spoonerism Whirest Fotaker]]!
