Star Wars Characters in Rogue One
8 Classic Star Wars Characters Who Appear in Rogue One
Princess Leia
Perhaps the most badass princess in the galaxy, Princess Leia grows up not knowing that Darth Vader is her birth father. We first meet the Imperial Senator and rebel spy in A New Hope as a captive aboard the Tantive IV, where Vader tortures her for information. She then teams up with Luke, who we later find out is her twin, to take down the Galactic Empire.
Along the way, she falls in love with Han Solo, and by the time of the events in The Force Awakens, they've had a son named Ben who grows up. Unfortunately, he rebrands himself as the galaxy's next big bad, Kylo Ren, and becomes a general in the Resistance in order to stop him. In Rogue One, she briefly appears (via CGI and a body double) to receive the plans to the Death Star, which she would then hide inside R2-D2.
