Over at Meet the Movie Press, frequent scooper El Mayimbe dropped a rumor that Felicitiy Jones’ character is thedaughter of the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett. He did reiterate that this is just a rumor he’s heard that has not been confirmed by anyone, but it’s not surprising when you consider how much Boba Fett has been talked about with regards to Star Wars: Rogue One.
There have previously been rumblings that while Star Wars: Rogue One won’t be a Han Solo or Boba Fett origin story, this film will have both characters appearing in it. In addition, there have been rumors that Rogue One would focus on Boba Fett’s family somehow. Having the movie be led by his daughter would certainly fit that description.
