However, [[SkepticNoLonger she'll find out]] that it is indeed real in the worst possible way when she has a run-in with [[spoiler:Darth Vader]].

*** In addition, Filoni has said that he would rather prefer to keep TV-original characters within their own mediums. [[spoiler:Plus, with the Season 2 finale ending with her in an AmbiguousSituation and Filoni confirming that there are no plans to tell her story beyond that point in the timeline, it looks like we're definitely not seeing her in this movie.]]

* And, uh, this is under the assumption that Mikkelsen's character is Mr. Erso. This troper is getting confused with all these leaks.

[[WMG: Lyra Erso is Mrs. Erso.]]
There's [[http://makingstarwars.net/2016/01/rogue-one-a-star-wars-story-character-named-revealed-could-it-be-major/ this leak]] from a while ago, where Gabriele Fritz is cast as Lyra's double. Rather than possibly being Jyn's [[WhatCouldHaveBeen prototype name]], maybe it's her mom and she'll have at least one action scene.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Cassian and Jyn will butt heads, due to them being TheCaptain and the MilitaryMaverick respectively.]]
Cassian won't like Jyn doing things like getting into unnecessary trouble, as well as her disrespectful attitude towards Rebel military officers. Jyn won't like him either, because she doesn't like being told what to do (like how to rebel, if her iconic line from the teaser meant anything. Maybe she thinks that the Rebel Alliance is making everything too complicated and they should just act spontaneously.) Then, after CharacterDevelopment, the duo [[FireForgedFriends might start to grow on each other]].
* Maybe Jyn will note that Cassian [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds her of her father.]] If this gets brought up earlier in the film, then she could add on that [[ItsXIHateX she hates her father]] for the same reason she hates Cassian.

[[WMG: Baze is a Mandalorian bounty hunter.]]
But no, he will not be related to [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Sabine Wren]]. Or the Fetts. He's from some other clan. This could lead into a nice throwaway reference to one of them though, but it'll be super vague and very easy to miss. Maybe it won't make sense when the movie comes out, but it'll make more sense when Rebels gets to the event that he's referencing.

[[WMG: Jyn is estranged from her father.]]
She's been on her on ever since she was 15, and since he's been described as 'heroic', maybe something happened that forced him to choose between his family and [[TheNeedsOfTheMany doing the]] [[ChronicHeroSyndrome right thing]], and it got him arrested and/or got Mrs. Erso killed or something. We'll get throwaway comments from Jyn about him until he finally debuts, and she'll still not want anything to do with him until he does something like [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing himself]] or [[HeelRealization Jyn comes to understand why he did what he did.]]

[[WMG: Donnie Yen's character is a Jedi who survived Order 66 and has been on the run from the Empire ever since.]]
Yes, it's been said that no Jedi will appear in the film, which would make the reveal that this guy actually ''is'' one all the more surprising. And chances are that he'd likely die in a duel with Vader, should he make an appearance. Alternatively, he could possibly pull a FaceHeelTurn and become an Inquisitor, thus making him the new canon's incarnation of Jerec (bonus points if he's actually a Miraluka and not merely a blind human).

It will be revealed that the reason Asoka went into the Sith temple was to become a Sith, so she could stay under her master forever. She will be like a more active Darth Vader, chasing the rebels across the galaxy, but preferring to fight them herself rather than simply sending troops. In the ending, she will perform a HeelFaceTurn and have an epic fight to the death with whoever the movie's main villain is. Very much like Anakin, she will kill him, but will be mortally injured herself. She will feebly hand the rebels over the Death Star plans, and will say the ArcWords "I know there is still good in him", just before she dies. If they really want another CallForward, she might also briefly make a reference to Luke or Leia's existence such as "There is another".
