While Steve was snapping photos at Comic-Con (be sure to check out the 288 cosplay photos he got), he got a look at the costumes for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Additionally, those costumes included descriptions for their respective characters, which provide a bit more insight on the central cast for the film. While it’s all well and good to go nuts over Darth Vader popping up in the new movie, it’s good to know a bit more about the new characters will be seeing.
Check out the character descriptions below and click on the images for high resolution.
Chirrut Îmwe
Deeply spiritual, Chirrut Îmwe believes all living things are connected through The Force. His sightless eyes do not prevent him from being a highly skilled warrior. Though he lacks Force abilities, this warrior monk has rigorously honed his body through intense physical and mental discipline.
Baze Malbus
The harsh reality of his Imperial-occupied home world has hardened Baze Malbus into a pragmatic soldier and a crack shot with his heavy repeater cannon. Baze has a bravado that provides a marked contrast to the spiritual centeredness of his best friend and moral compass, Chirrut Îmwe.
Jyn Erso
Putting behind a checkered past by lending her skills to a greater cause, Jyn Erso is impetuous, defiant, and eager to bring the battle of the Empire. Used to operating alone, she finds higher purpose by taking on a desperate mission for the Rebel Alliance.
Captain Cassian Andor
An accomplished Alliance Intelligence officer with combat field experience, Captain Cassian Andor commands respect from his Rebel troops with his ability to keep a cool head under fire and complete his missions with minimal resources.
Bodhi Rook
A former Imperial pilot, Bodhi has strong piloting and technical skills that he will put to use for the Rebellions. Ever practical, but highly anxious, Bodhi must gather his courage to bring the battle to the Empire.
Two Tubes
Edrio Two Tubes is a mercenary pilot who f lies alongside his eggmate, Benthic. They share the nickname derived from the breathing apparatus that allows Tognath physiology to process oxygen atmospheres. Edrio’s native world of Yar Togna was conquered and occupied by the Empire, forcing him to flee as a refugee. With a desire to strike back at the Empire, Edrio and Benthic have allied with Saw Gerrera.
Director Orson Krennic
As director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Imperial military, Orson Krennic is obsessed with the completion of the long-delayed Death Star project. A cruel but brilliant man, Krennic has staked his reputation on the delivery of the functional battle station to the Emperor.
Imperial Death Trooper
The elite soldiers of Imperial Intelligence, Death Troopers are encased in specialized stormtrooper armor with a dark, ominous gleam. These soldiers serve as bodyguards and enforcers for Director Krennic, a highly placed officer within the Advanced Weapons Research division of the Empire.
