Is A Popular Star Wars Character Joining Rogue One's Cast?
During its presentation at the Nuremberg Toy Fair LEGO announced a new animated Star Wars feature called The Freemaker Series. However, what's more interesting is the company also announced several new Star Wars sets and had an image for the Rogue One-themed set that might contain a spoiler for the movie. Last chance to leave before we dip into possible spoiler territory for Rogue One.
Okay! Here's the image from the presentation at the fair:

Recognize the ship above the Rogue One set release date reveal? Looks an awful lot like Slave-1, Boba Fett's ship during the original trilogy of films. Could this mean that we might see good some of old Boba before his unfortunate tumble into the sarlacc pit? Rogue One is set before Return Of The Jedi, so he's still around then. Of course, it could be someone else's ship entirely too, though we haven't really see anyone else piloting Firespray on screen except for Boba and his father, Jango.
You can compare the differences for yourself. Here's a well lit shot of Slave-1 from Battlefront:
Take notice of the similar wings and tops of the ships in both shots. What say you, readers? Do you think we'll see one of the galaxy's greatest rapscallions in Rogue One? Let us know in the comments.
