Star Wars: Rogue One Rumors: Science, bitch!

Gareth Edwards’ Star Wars: Rogue One is still a ways away. I’ve been making the rounds, shaking hands, kissing babies, washing people’s cars, and trying to get anything I can about this movie. We know very little at this point. But things are starting to trickle in:

• Rogue One “still has a few months before it goes in front of cameras,” according to several sources.
• Felicity Jones is the main character (no duh).
• Aaron Paul isn’t out… yet. One sources says he is in, others aren’t so sure.
• The other role is the companion character of Jones.
• Paul is up for the “companion” character.
• It heavily involves an agricultural planet.
• Ben Mendelsohn is most likely playing “The Scientist.”
• The Death Star plans are still involved.
• The scientist knows the Death Star is wrong.
• Geonosians are responsible for the prototype and construction; nothing has been retconned.

Hopefully when “Los Alamos” (now known as Star Wars: Rogue One) gets filming we can figure out if this information is adding up.
