Will everyone die in Rogue One? Let's find out!
INTRO
Hello Star Wars Fans, my name is Joel Robinson and this is the 16-day video countdown to Rogue One!
39 years after A New Hope, we are having first entry into Star Wars Canon during the original trilogy, with Rogue One. In this never before told story we are learning the secret backstory to the Rebels stealing the Death Star plans.
This of course has raised the question, with this brand new story is it possible for these characters to survive past this movie?
Most people believe that since the main characters featured in Rogue One were never mentioned in A New Hope that they must have all died. This is an overly simplified train of thought that leaves us with a depressing ending to Rogue One.
So today I wanted to share my top three thoughts about who I think will die in Rogue One. Spoilers are coming so I hope you're ready!
Number one. Starting off, Chirrut îmwe will die. A huge spoiler from Star Wars Celebration. Jiang Wen dropped the news that Chirrut would die, but the bright side is that thorugh his death he will be inspiring Baze to believe in the Force.
Number two. Director Krennic! From the very beginning. Director Krennic has been considered the main villain of Rogue One. From the novel Catalyst we know that he is in charge of helping develop the kyber crystal lazer technology for the Death Star, and that he and Tarkin were in competition for power. Now in A New Hope, there is no mention of Krennic therefore I imagine he shall fall due to the wrath of vader for letting the death star plans escape.
Number three, Galen Erso. As the architect, and engineer of the death star's super laser I cannot imagine him surviving very long. It of course is him who send the signal to the rebellion about the death star finishing construction. If anything I imagine him being the first victim of Darth Vader.
That's my top four choices of characters to die in Rogue One. Let me know in the comments if you agree. Tomorrow we are talking about Saw Gerrera's future so be sure to come back for that.
Thank you so much for watching, please subscribe if you need more Star Wars, and as always may the force be with you.
