Jyn Erso
One of the highlights of Rogue One was its strong central cast, headlined by intergalactic espionage criminal Jyn Erso.
While Rogue One’s circumstances don’t really give a lot of leeway for sequels starring the characters, there’s plenty of room for prequels to be centered around its ragtag group of rebel heroes.
Jyn Erso especially makes for a compelling case to lead a solo game, particularly if the title in question were a stealth-based one. Stealth has always been a large part of Star Wars, from Obi-Wan sneaking around the Death Star to Rey escaping Starkiller Base.
It’s high time a Star Wars game focused on this aspect of the series, and a game centered on the crimes that led to Jyn’s arrest at the beginning of Rogue One is the way to do it.
