10 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2016's Biggest Movies

1. Most Of The Main Characters - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

There's a sense that with Rogue One: A Star Wars story, next year's Star Wars spin-off movie, a lot of the unnamed characters glimpsed in the image above aren't going to make it through to the end without being shot or blown up - or worse. The reasoning behind this depressing theory stems from the fact that Rogue One is set between the events of Episode III and Episode IV, as the titular squad set out to capture the Death Star plans from the Empire - a mission that we know they'll pull off in some capacity, given that said plans end up in R2-D2 at the start of A New Hope. That said, none of the characters glimpsed above - as far as we can tell, anyway - appear in any later Star Wars episodes as part of the Rebel Force. Which means that the majority of these heroic individuals - presumably set to be played by Felicity Jones, Ben Mendlesohn, Diego Luna and Riz Ahmed - look to be on a suicide mission of sorts. At least we know that, should they perish, they end up dying for a good cause, right? Gulp! Like this article? Agree or disagree with the choices mentioned here?
