She has been detained [by the Rebellion] and is being given an opportunity to be useful.
And by being useful, it may commute her sentence… Shes a real survivor.
She becomes a kind of Joan of Arc in the story.

Hes committed, steady, and practical, and has seen more than his share of combat.
Chirrut falls into the category of being a warrior monk, says Kennedy.
He very much still believes in everything the Jedi were about.

He maintains that belief even though the Jedi are no longer there to protect the galaxy.
He understands Chirruts spiritual centeredness, but he doesnt necessarily support it, Kennedy says.
Baze goes along with this Force business because its what his friend deeply believes, she adds.

Think of them as a little like the galactic version of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.
Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed)
Bodhi is this Rebel squads lead pilot.
He flies a lot of cargo, one of his key jobs, Kennedy says.

Kaytoo is a little bit like Chewbacca’s personality in a droids body, Edwards says.
He doesnt give a s— about what you think.
He doesn’t fully check himself before he says things and does things.

He just speaks the truth.
Like Jyn, hes also seeking a bit of redemption for past wrongs.
Droids, too, can have regret.

Where has Galen been, if Jyn has been on her own for years?

The bad guy is a lot more terrifying when hes really smart, and really effective, says Knoll.
Theres not a lot of loyalty there.
(He even looks different from when we saw him inthe teaser trailer.)
