There are so many rumors and speculations about "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". Fans have already speculated that Felicity Jones' character is the daughter of Boba Fett. In addition to that, Diego Luna was reportedly playing a younger version of Biggs Darklighter. Then people started talking about a possible cameo from the young Han Solo, who will be portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich.
All of these rumors have finally been debunked. Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso is actually the daughter of Mads Mikkelsen's character, who is NOT Boba Fett. Diego Luna will be a Resistance fighter, but his character's name is Captain Cassian Andor. Finally, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" director Gareth Edwards has confirmed that Han Solo will not appear in the film.

This might be a major shocker for fans who were hoping to see young Han Solo in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". However, a cameo from the Millennium Falcon captain will probably jolt the audience out of the film's storyline. Perhaps it would be better to settle for a Darth Vader that will NOT be played by Hayden Christensen.
