Spencer is not the first Doctor Who actor to appear in Star Wars franchise and joins regular Who star Jimmy Vee in replacing an original actor for the new films. The Oscar-nominated actress made a splash as a jewel thief alongside David Tennant and Catherine Tate when they met Agatha Christie in 2008’s wonderful The Unicorn & The Wasp.
The larger-than-life actor has also proved to be hit with Doctor Who fans across the world with his regular convention appearances.Īnother Doctor Who star you’ll see in Rogue One is Felicity Jones, who plays the lead character, Jyn Erso. Even are a little concerned about him.Spencer has appeared in three Doctor Who episodes – all from the Matt S(m)ith era: a Minotaur in The God Complex the Wooden King in The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe and Ice Warrior Skaldak in 2013’s Cold War. “He’s on the fringe of the Rebel Alliance. “Consider him kind of a battered veteran who leads a band of Rebel extremists,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told EW. As a younger man, the Onderonian resistance fighter trained under Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi for a fight against the droid army that was trying to take over their world. Gerrera is described as the kind of Rebel even the Rebels can’t get their head around, a loose cannon with nothing to lose who’s just as likely to mess up the mission as he is to complete it. Though we have to wonder whether anyone thought to remind Edwards and his team that Lucas came up with the concepts for Jar Jar Binks, Watto the Toydarian and those fricking guys from the Trade Federation a lot more recently than he dreamt up Han Solo and Vader. The idea here is to give fans one last dose of George Lucas goodness before the space opera legend walks away from the long-running saga for good.

Last seen warning Erso to dial it down a little in the Rogue One trailer, Whitaker will be playing Saw Gerrera, a character introduced in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated TV show, the first of its kind to ever cross over to a mainstream Star Wars movie. Droids will probably still be the comic reliefġ0 things you need to know about #RogueOne's extremist Rebel, Saw Gerrera from /yN8fG6fM0p- Star Wars June 23, 2016 Fingers crossed, both Chinese actors will have been given roles that are integral to the plot this time: Lucasfilm owner Disney has a poor record when it comes to parachuting in stars from the world’s most populous nation just to keep local audiences happy. Imwe’s sidekick is Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen), who is fiercely loyal despite having no idea what his good buddy is on about when it comes to all this Jedi nonsense. One of these is blind warrior monk Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen), who sounds a bit like Daredevil, in that he’s completely blind but could still take out most martial opponents with both hands tied behind his back. Remember how Maz Kanata told Rey she was “no Jedi” but still knew the Force in JJ Abrams’ megahit space opera reboot-come-sequel? Well, it sounds like we’ll be getting more mysterious light-side apostles who are unable to do any of the actual cool Jedi stuff in Rogue One.
