Taking A Closer Look At The Cast Of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Now it’s on to the leader of the pack, played by the lovely Felicity Jones. By far the most recognizable of the bunch, Jones received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for her turn as Jane Wilde Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, and also popped up as Felicia Hardy (the future Black Cat… if that franchise had a future that is!) in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Other notable film roles include Northanger Abbey, Brideshead Revisited, Chéri, The Tempest and Like Crazy. 

We know Jones’ character will head-up the mission, but pretty much nothing else – though there is one very intriguing rumor out there. Could she be playing the daughter of the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, Boba Fett? There’s nothing solid to back this up and when you think about it, it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (after all, based on this movie’s timeline Boba would still have been a kid when she was born), and yet the idea seems to have been taken to heart by many fans who now hope its turns out to be true.

Boba was a clone, so maybe that will factor in somehow?
