3. Original Character Cameos

Much of the fanfare about Rouge One has been in regards to its placement within the timeline. There's no doubt fans will be dazzled with endless original trilogy Easter eggs and references. The classic trilogy style alone is something to pour over as fans travel back 40-years. While The Force Awakens was a major call back to the original, there's just something to be said about seeing the classic Stormtrooper armor of old.

In concordance with the plot of the film, fans should also keep in mind how the story ends. Given the events of A New Hope, it only makes sense to reference or see some of the original characters like Princess Leia, R2-D2 or C-3PO. Fans may also get a glimpse of how the classic opening chase scene starts..

The biggest cameo of the film could fall to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though Kenobi won't make a direct appearance, it's highly possible Bail Organa name drops him to his adopted daughter Leia. After all, it's Leia who ends up in the Tatooine system seeking Obi-Wan with the hidden plans. In some way, shape, or form, this must be a part of the mission after the plans have been stolen.
