The film's central conflict, a diverse rebellion fighting against an oppressive, imperialistic regime, aligns with anti-authoritarian and anti-colonial themes. The narrative emphasizes collective sacrifice and explores the moral complexities of resistance, positioning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, including characters of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on a diverse group of rebels fighting an oppressive regime, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes central to its core message.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story does not explicitly feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the Rebellion's mission to steal the Death Star plans, with no identifiable queer representation present in the film's plot or character arcs.
The film features Jyn Erso as a central female character who participates in combat. However, her victories against male opponents, primarily Stormtroopers, are consistently achieved through the use of firearms. There are no scenes depicting her defeating one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat using 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.
