    I hope so, and I hope it's Ben Mendelsohn playing him. Absolutely amazing in Bloodline.

    I'd be up for Lor San Tekka appearance, seems possible. That said I think the semi-confirmed rumor is that Medndelsohn is playing a bad guy.

    Also Mendelsohn was hands down the best part of Bloddline and one of few reasons I'm interested in Rogue One.

    Get another up-and-coming Nordic actor to play young Tekka then... Should be interesting!

    Interesting idea actually, I guess being Danish he'd be able to do a Swedish accented English to approximate Lor San Tekka.

    Oh yes, Mads Mikkelsen is already in Rogue One but as of now, we don't know what role he is getting...

    And isn't Mads the villain in one of the James Bond movies starring Daniel Craig (AKA the Stormtrooper who got mind-tricked by Rey)?

    Corrected thread title to reflect discussion of Lor San Tekka potentially appearing in the film Rogue One as opposed to him potentially appearing on a numeric French street.

    Quoting myself from the Mads Mikkelsen thread since it's relevant for this topic...
    In fact, I think this conspiracy theory is so strong, perhaps I should change my handle to GalenAKALorSanTekka... :p

    "This will start to make things right" would actually have some meaning!

    Yes there is that too.

    I like the 'san tekka' being vaguely 'Lor' (Lore = accumulated knowledge) 'San' (sans = without) 'Tekka' (technology).

    If he is Gallen from Rogue One who aparently designed the Death Star regretting it then changing his name when he joins the Church of the Force to something which sorta relates to his abandonment of technology is very very apt.

    Surely you've missed a wonderful opportunity to turn this thread into a poll?

    French Street gets my vote.

    Never thought of that line in that way. Now that I think of it it would indeed be a great line...
    If he thinks...his actions in Rogue One have eventually lead to the hiding of Luke. Nice.

    I absolutely embrace this idea. Kind of sucks though his presence will be missed from the OT.

    We're saying that Mads Mikkelsen is rumoured to be the Oppenheimer of Star Wars, the architect/inventor of the Death Star and Starkiller Base. At some point (probably in Rogue One) he tries to sabotage the project, leak the plans and the vulnerability to the Rebellion.

    Shortly thereafter, offscreen probably, Gallen (Mads character) joins the Church of the Force and changes his name to Lor (knowledge) San (without) Tekka (technology) and gives up science to concentrate on the Force living a humble life.

    When we see him in TFA he's played by Max Von Sydow, a now old Lor San Tekka gives the map to Poe saying "This will begin to make things right" and talks about knowing Leia when she was a princess.

    Yes, he's in Casino Royale.

    I really liked Lor San Tekka in TFA; I'd like to see him in Rogue One.

    No idea.

    Could be that Mads character only invented the Death Star?

    Well just as I would assume an Aussie can pull off a New Zealand accent, an American could pull off a Canadian accent, I presume a Dane could pull of a Swedish accent - especially as we're talking about speaking English with just a vague nordic sounding accent to it.

    Personally think Mendelsohn looks way more like Von Sydow than Mads Mikkleson.

    Not unusual for an actor to do an accent.

    LANDO_ROCKS, Avnar and KitsterAKABobaFett some wonderful ideas about Lor San Tekka and the possibility of Mads playing him. I think that would be an excellent way to incorporate TFA into Rogue One. Please keep them coming.

    Guys, enough talk about Mads Mikkelsen already. Look here instead:


    LEFT: Ben Mendelsohn. RIGHT: Young Max Von Sydow.

    I still cannot shake the feeling that Mendelsohn is playing out main villain, or at least a villain.
