6 Things We Learnt About “Rogue One”: A Star Wars Spin Off.-2

3. Demi-Jedis Back

Do you recall how Maz Kanata told Rey she was “no Jedi” yet knew the Force in JJ Abrams’ megahit space opera reboot-come-sequel? Well, it seems that we’ll be getting more strange light-side missionaries who can’t do any of the real cool Jedi stuff in Rogue One. One of these is the visually impaired warrior friar ChirrutImwe (Donnie Yen). He sounds somewhat like Daredevil. As it is, he’s totally blind yet he could take out many military adversaries with both hands tied behind his back.

Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) is Imwe’s sidekick. He is very faithful even though he has no clue about what his great mate is up to with regard to the Jedi rubbish. Both Chinese on-screen characters have been given parts that are crucial to the plot this time. Let’s keep our fingers crossed As it is, Lucas film proprietor Disney has a poor record when it comes to parachuting in stars from the world’s most crowded country just to keep local audiences happy.

4. Jyn Erso’s Back Story Wiped From Suicide Squad
