With the dawn of a new era of Star Wars films, fans have concocted countless theories about different characters in the saga. Not all of them are believable though. Some have stood out more than others.
With the release of the trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, among theories that stood out is the story behind the scene where a mysterious cloaked figure is seen kneeling in front of what appears to be Bacta tank, a medical healing booth used by Luke Skywalker after his misadventure with a Wampa on Hoth.
