There is much excitement over Disney and Lucasfilm's 2016 release "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," and now it looks like more details have been uncovered about the Star Wars prequel. A German website has just come across a book that reveals the names of Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso Rebel crew, the truth about those black stormtroopers and Darth Vader's highly-anticipated cameo in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!"
The "Rogue One" Visual Story Guide
Jedi-Bibliotek, a German website that specializes in everything Star Wars, shared some pages from the book "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide." The pages list the names of the Rebel crew that accompanies Jyn Erso on her mission. Diego Luna plays the Rebel Alliance officer Captain Cassian Andor while Donnie Yen is the spiritual warrior Chirrut. Riz Ahmed will portray the Rebel soldier Bodhi and Jiang Wen is the freelance assassin Baze. The crew also includes two alien warriors named Bistan and Pao, however the names of the actors who will play them were unlisted (via Jedi News).
