It’s long been confirmed that Rogue One includes flashbacks, depicting protagonist Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) as a child living with her father Galen (Mads Mikkelsen).
In addition to watching Jyn and Galen, it will also be interesting to see how the elder Erso interacts with Mendelsohn’s Director Krennic.
Per the synopsis, Mendelsohn saved the Erso family during the Clone Wars, and Galen owes him a tremendous debt.
The upcoming film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story promises to be a very different kind of installment than the ones previously seen in the galaxy far, far away.
