The film will tell the tale of Rebel squad charged with recovering the data tapes featuring the technical readouts of a battle station with enough firepower to destroy a planet. Basically, a direct prequel to the original Star Wars film. And while we know plenty about the movie, a few key details are still shrouded in mystery. Actor Mads Mikkelsen is on board, but we do not know exactly who he is playing or his character’s affiliations. In what may be a spoiler (consider this your warning), Making Star Wars (via Comic Book Movie) reports on a rumor that not only involves Mikkelsen, but star Felicity Jones. According to the campfire talk, Mikkelsen plays the engineer tasked with overcoming design flaws in the Death Star plans. Lauded within the Empire, the character comes to regret his role in building the ultimate power in the universe and decided to defect, turn to the aid of his daughter, the character played by Jones. Of course, this is far from verified, but its not unusual for Star Wars stories to revolve around family conflicts. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comes to theaters on December 16th.
