    Oh, you mean you were on topic?(chewie) Yeah, I agree, I think the Rogue One cast will largely be killed off, considering the nature of the plot. Perhaps Felicity's character plus another 1-2 characters will be kept around (for EU stuff).

    There are so many ways it could go down in Rebels. I personally would love to see Ezra go dark and end up being like the leader of the Knights of Ren or something, but who knows? I think we will see Ahsoka die on the show for sure, but as for the others - I'm not convinced they will have on screen deaths. I think a great way to "off" the characters and not traumatize the kids who have grown to love them is to end the show on a hopeful note as we tie the last few episodes in with Rogue One.

    We could follow the Ghost crew on some parallel mission that impacts the Death Star plan heist in Rogue One which leads them to a secret meeting with Organa on Alderaan,where they end the show awaiting the plans to be delivered. Kids will enjoy the adventure and end the series on a hopeful note, whereas adults and older children who are more familiar with the films know what is about to go down on Alderaan, and will conclude that the Ghost crew meet there end when Tarkin gives the order to blow up the planet in A New Hope.

    Given that we are also being introduced to new characters from the OT era in new stories even now, it may not be necessary to kill off all of the characters, and they may show up in other stories down the road. However for continuity, I think that Kanan and Ezra will die, turn, or be captured. As for the Rogue One team, I think it's possible some will survive the battle after the transmission is sent to Tantive IV, but it's likely most will die.

    There is a rebel pilot in the Shattered Empire comics who is dating a recon soldier in Han's Endor ground unit with the last name Dameron. I think her name was Kes. I know there were rumors about Poe's mom.

    Her name is Shara Bey and she is married to Kes Dameron. The most recent issue confirmed that they are the parents of Poe who was a small child (@ least old enough to talk) during Return of the Jedi. :)

    Sorry if I spoiled that bit for you! I'm really enjoying that series. I can't wait for issue 3 next week.

    I doubt Felicity is Poe's mother. The comic drawings of her look like a dark skinned woman while Felicity is pretty freaking white lol

    I hope she's playing Padme's niece Pooja Naberrie, on a mission to avenge the twin deaths of her aunt and democracy.

    That started as a joke but actually that would be amazing.

    If Felicity Jones turns out not to be Rey's mom (assuming Rey isn't Luke's daughter) this actually would be amazing!

    The Force is strong in my family.
    My father has it.
    I have it.
    My sister has it.
    My first cousin once removed has it.
    You have that power too.

    I hope she plays a Mara Jade type character, future wife of luke and Mother of Rey.
    Maybe she is a Knight of Ren, that could be the reason why Rey is hiding on Jakku :eek:
    Yeah that's my theory by now :D

    Guys, Why do I have a feeling that Felicity's character is Rey's mom.. I mean they're both british and both have a similar appearance. Same facial type with same skin. And they could've made anyone else the LEAD role. But they chose Felicity who has a STRIKING resemblance with Daisy.. Thoughts anyone??

    Could be. I do think there will be some connection between R1 and the ST. Disney owns Lucasfilm, and Disney owns Marvel, and the Marvel model, in which every film connects up with the main Avengers storyline, all of it building up to one big event (the confrontation with Thanos), is working amazingly well for them. So why wouldn't Disney push to try this for the SW franchise?

    You're not the only one to think this. I read this article/theory today about this same thought. It delves into the matter in a rather detailed way, explaining why it makes sense. Granted, it is only a theory, but well -- should Rey be Luke's daughter, it could one be plausible way to view it:

    According to IMDB, Tatiana Maslany, Rooney Mara and Kate Mara were considered for the female lead before Felicity Jones was cast. These actresses each have similar features of brown hair and brown/hazel eyes - clearly they were going for an ideal look, and this look could very well be connected to that of a similar appearance to Rey.

    My probably hair brained theory on who Felicity Jones's character is...

    From Wookieepedia:

    APHRA: She was a rogue archaeologist and the foremost raider of lost weapons in the galaxy.

    However, her working for Vader after the BOY doesn't tie.

    If one of the two turned out to be Rey's mom I wouldn't complain. But like @Crusifix referenced, they'd have to tie in her switching sides (and going from looking slightly Asian (IMO) to more...Anglo-Saxon...)
