Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story does not include any explicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the mission to steal the Death Star plans without incorporating queer representation, resulting in no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.

Jyn Erso is the primary female character engaged in combat throughout the film. Her victories against male Imperial forces are consistently achieved through the use of firearms. There are no scenes depicting her defeating male opponents through close-quarters physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapons.

Rogue One introduces new characters and features established Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, Mon Mothma, and Grand Moff Tarkin. All returning characters maintain their previously established genders from prior canon, and no new characters are gender-swapped versions of existing ones.

The film primarily features new characters. Legacy characters like Mon Mothma, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Bail Organa are portrayed by actors of the same race as their original live-action counterparts. Saw Gerrera, introduced in animated form, was not explicitly or unambiguously depicted as a different race in prior canon to constitute a race swap.
