13 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Film Characters

1. Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) - Rogue One

The Role: A criminal who ends up captured by the Rebel Alliance and tasked with investigating the Death Star, namely stealing the super-weapon's blueprints as eventually leads to its destruction in A New Hope.

Why You Should Be Excited: Star Wars: The Force Awakens' biggest strength was unquestionably its new array of heroes, and so there's hope that Rogue One will follow a similar lead. Felicity Jones is an outstanding young actress and yet an unconventional choice for something like this, but she should prove to be yet another memorable piece of the Star Wars puzzle.

While the film will likely be propelled forward by its huge ensemble above all else, Jyn should hopefully also become an iconic franchise hero in her own right.
