Star Wars: Rogue One New Trailer Breakdown - 29 Things You Need To See

28. Galen Gets Taken

Although we've had a still image of him, it's been a long wait to actually see Mads Mikkelsen in action. The actor himself let slip a while back that he was playing Jyn Erso's father, and now we get to see part of that relationship here.

Here we see Krennic and his squad of Deathtroopers coming for Galen Erso (marrying up with earlier shots of Deathtroopers, including the one holding the Stormtrooper toy), and Galen tells Jyn that whatever he does is to protect her.

This looks like it'll be where Jyn runs away and begins her life as a very young rebel, while Galen is taken away by the Imperial forces. Also: how great is it to have Mads Mikkelsen in this movie? Just a couple of scenes, but he's already making a big impression.
