    He becomes the most powerful Jedi in the universe but settles down and marries Chief Chirpa?

    Well he does end up being burnt so I suppose there's a link there.

    If you follow the leaked pic trail... I get why CrazyOldJedi says that.

    It's simple.
    He's flying in a U-Wing over Scarif.
    We have pics of a crashed and burned U-Wing on Scarif.
    There's spy pictures of sand with burn marks and what appears to be U Wing engines awaiting some CGI enhancement.

    It might be a different U Wing. He might have jumped out in time. But maybe not.

    He marries Pao, and they have an adorable inter-species wedding ceremony on the beach?

    Although there may be other U-Wings, that one appears to be the 'hero' one and I'm guessing was the extraction vehicle for the R1 Team. The fact that Bistan is a major secondary character would suggest that he forms part of the crew on said U-Wing.

    Meaning he probably dies...although if one has to die I would prefer if he survives and Pao dies, since Bistan is the more interesting-looking of the two.

    Excellent. Devoting all those column inches to a minor character means they don't have to divulge anything really interesting. :(

    That's the fun of pre-release hype, IMO. I like letting lots of details on these minor characters, and not much about the main story. But that might simply be because I'm a sucker for Star Wars aliens.

    There was really nothing new in the article about Bistan (it wasn't even really an article). Just that he looks like a space monkey crossed with a Sontaran, he's a gunner on the U-Wing, he's played by Nick Kellington and is not CGI, his species is called Lakaru and are from an unknown world. That's it.

    Huh, who was Warrick Davis playing then? I thought the suit looked similar. Is there another space monkey?

    Doesn't this need a change in title to include the actor Nick Kellington portraying Bistan?

    When I Google Image search this guy, I get lots of images of Teletubbies, In the Night Garden, and other fluffy charactered English kids series.

    And Riz Ahmed is?

    It's a matter of respecting an artist no matter how famous he is, it's not like it's just rumour.
