30. Cassian Captured? Imwe Brooding

Next up, some character stills, starting with Diego Luna's Cassian Andor, the captain charged with leading the Rogue One rebels. This shot doesn't look good for him, so we can expect him to initially be captured (though the rest of the market sequences seem to suggest Jyn will rescue him).

There's also a brooding shot of Donnie Yen's Chirrut Imwe backed by explosions. Imwe is a staunch believer in the Force, which leads him to join the cause when he and Baze Malbus embark on a pilgrimage to the spiritual site of Jedha.

The shots basically just exist to establish mood - a sombre, dark mood that goes very well with what we know of the story already.

Jyn pops up briefly in darkness wearing her Imperial costume to further set the mood...
