4. Boba Fett
The have been numerous rumours and reports that Boba Fett would either be getting his own spin-off movie, appearing in the Han Solo movie, or most recently having a part to play in Rogue One. The idea of his role in this particular movie is that Vader hires a team of bounty hunters to track down the Rebel spies, and if that happens then it'd be crazy not to include Boba - he's by far the most recognisable bounty hunter around, and the presence of a massive fan favourite would be a way of providing fan service that actually fits with the plot. In terms of the timeline, this would be around the period where Boba is really establishing himself as the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy, and there's also the notion from The Empire Strikes Back that he and Vader have worked together before - "No disintegrations" - so this would be a great chance to finally show that. This is one that seems to have some traction behind it, thanks to a leaked Lego box image that appears to show Slave 1 in Rogue One. These toys and their spoilers. https://twitter.com/studshooter/status/693222178251145216
