Star Wars: Rogue One - Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best
10. Galen Erso
Mads Mikkelsen in a Star Wars movie?! Hell yes!
Mikkelsen is one of the finest actors around, capable of bringing real nuance to any character he's asked to play. And here, he's got a pretty interesting one, being the guy who plays a major role in creating the Death Star and giving it its power (he's the kyber crystals expert).
Aside from a brilliant scientist, though, he's also a caring and incredibly protective family man, who sacrifices his life to the Empire in order to make sure his daughter can live hers.
Mikkelsen maybe could've done with a little more time, but he still got to share some sweet scenes with Jyn, both young and old, and their farewell was particularly poignant.
Huge credit, too, for him revealing that he deliberately designed the flaw in the Death Star, solving something fans have debated about for almost forty years.
