5. And It's Mads Mikkelsen In The Cloak

Mads Mikkelsen is shaping up to be the key to this film. He's one of the only characters we still haven't seen, his name hasn't yet been revealed (though it's believed to be Galen), and we don't know much about what role he will have.

It's rumoured that he'll be the scientist who helps create the Death Star, but also the actor himself has confirmed that he's the father of Jyn Erso, making for some rather tense father-daughter dynamics.

So far, the biggest theory about his character is that we have actually seen him in the trailer, and that he's the mysterious figure in the cloak.

If he's high-up within the Empire then his presence here would make some degree of sense, and given he's the one high-profile actor they left out the trailer, it could be a case of hiding in plain sight.
