Jones played a master thief in the 2008 Agatha Christie-themed episode of Doctor Who, The Unicorn and the Wasp. Her clear talent in that role and others led to her being cast as an X-Wing pilot in the Star Wars spin off movie Rogue One. The Gareth Edwards-directed movie is slated for a 16th of December 2016 release. What did you think of this list? Can you think of any other actors who have crossed over from Doctor Who to Star Wars, or vice versa? Join the conversation in the comments section below!
