Arguably the most striking reveal in the trailers for Rogue One thus far is Mads Mikkelsen's character Galen Orso. We learn that Orso is actually protagonist Jyn Erso's father, and that he played an integral role in the construction of the Death Star.

When news broken that Mads Mikkelsen would be appearing in Rogue One, it seemed like a dream piece of casting. Mikkelsen is absolutely one of the most talented actors working in the industry today, so fans were understandably pumped to see what his character might bring.

Learning more about Orso, then, is absolutely one of Rogue One's most anticipated moments. Is he the weapon's architect? Did he design its planet-destroying technology? Or did he merely fund its creation? It won't be long until we finally find out.
