As many people know by now, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will mark the feature film debut of several new Star Wars characters.
Jyn’s father Galen also has a key part to play, as he is a scientist the Empire forces to work on the Death Star.
The likes of Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic have been highlighted throughout marketing, but they aren’t the only ones who have a major role in the story.
The canon novel Catalyst extensively dealt with Galen’s past and his relationship with Krennic, setting up a fascinating dynamic for Rogue One to explore.
