Rahm Kota fromThe Force Unleashedvideo secret plan serial was include in the former version ofRogue One : A Star Wars Storyscript . Rogue Onehad a lot of cameo , but most of them involve characters from previous movies - this latest reveal would have brought over a character from the old Legends continuity .
Introduced inThe Force Unleashed , Kota was a Jedi Master who survived Order 66 due to his use of secret reserves instead of clone . He was blind during a duel with Darth Vader ' underground apprentice Galen Marek - the lead character of the plot - but returned to train the immature Force user and help lay the groundwork for the early Rebellion . This is , of course , no farsighted canon ; everything pre - Disney attainment ( aside from the picture show and The Clone Wars television show ) was made Legends . However , a new report suggest that he was almost reintroduced to the mythos .
Filmmaker Marcos Cabota of late guested on a podcast titledLa Fosa del Rancorand recount a story of friend auditioning to be inRogue One . Per Cabota , during the testing process , they learn a couple of pages of the prequel ’s handwriting and notice a part for a unsighted Force user called Rahm Kota . evidently , Kota did n’t appear in theStar Warsspin - off but a like character was present in the form Chirrut Imwe ( Donnie Yen ) . This result Cabota to believe that the unsighted Force - worshiper was a modification of theForce Unleashedcharacter :
" In fact , they were talking about a Jedi , who then did not seem in the movie but did appear somehow … Rham Kota was in Rogue One , I can tell you , he was a unreasoning Jedi . And what do we get in Rogue One ? A unreasoning user of the Force … In the script we had from Rogue One , before becoming Rogue One , it was Rahm Kota . "
While Cabota ’s report paint a picture there ’s telescope for Kota or otherForce Unleasedcharacters to make the leap from the expand universe to the current canyon , it is possible that the playscript that his admirer read was a bogus one used for the audition physical process only . It ’s not an rare praxis to shield real point , especially for a task as tightlipped asStar Wars . So while it ’s possible Kota was in the beginning meant to come along and was changed into Chirrut , Rahm ’s name could have just been a placeholder .
Chirrut ’s not the first time that Kota ’s been compared to a canyon graphic symbol . Star Wars Rebels’Jedi Master Kanan Jarrus have also drawn a equivalence to him , specially after the Ghost Crew member lose his eyesight during his Darth Maul battle by the end of time of year 2 .
Having said that , it is not impossible for old Legends lineament and concepts to render in the currentStar Warscanon . Rebelsdid just that with the introduction of Grand Admiral Thrawn and almostincludedForce Unleashed ’s very own Starkiller .
