Since acquiring the rights to the galaxy far, far away in 2012, Disney has produced five Star Wars movies, three of which revolve around the Skywalker Saga and one, involving a young Han Solo, was the Box Office equivalent of the black sheep in the family.
In a sense, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story remains the only movie that almost everyone unironically enjoyed. The film was a huge success too, grossing over $1 billion against a budget of $265 million. But alas, the story itself, taking place before A New Hope, didn’t leave much room for potential sequels or spinoffs.
Granted, the Mouse of House is working on a Disney+ series featuring Cassian Andor, but we haven’t heard much about the project over the past couple of years. So, it’s safe to assume that things may not be going as well as Disney had originally intended.
As you recall, Rogue One‘s final moments showed our heroes delivering the Death Star plans to the Rebellion. The Empire then used the weapon to destroy Scarif, killing both Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor in the process. Though it appears that even Felicity Jones is open to reprising her role. In a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter, the Theory of Everything star was asked if there’d been any talks about a sequel, to which she said:
“I just keep saying that reincarnation is totally possible in the Star Wars universe [laughs.] So, I feel there’s unfinished business for Jyn, for sure.”
As Jones explains, reincarnation is indeed possible for characters in Star Wars. But I don’t suppose a Force Ghost would be of much use to anyone as a main character in a potential Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sequel, not to mention that only Force-sensitive individuals can access this ability and only if they manage to become one with the Force.
