Forest Whitaker In Negotiations For Rogue One

I always get excited when Oscar winning a-listers get attached to our decidedly tent-pole pop corn world.  For that reason, I’m very happy that Variety is reporting that Forrest Whitaker is in negotiations to joint the cast for Star Wars: Rogue One which is the first “stand alone” Star Wars film due out next year.  The only thing better would be if they announced he was going to reprise his role of Charles Jefferson in the Star Wars universe.  I’m pretty sure the Millennium Falcon is an allegorical Camaro, so there seems to be a lot of room to work with there.
