If you check out Star Wars Always FB page they have several images from Topps Trading cards relating to Rogue One.
Whilst there are several images of pilots .. this one in particular stands out:
Looking at the helmet, the moustache .. that's gotta be the good ol' combustible Biggs right .. or Fabio? I can't identify any of the others though.
Any thoughts on who they might be? Who might we see in our game released under the Rogue one banner?
Edited by ConandoodleTashes ftw.... next years fashion... You heard it here.
It's possible. The helmet is close. Not sure about that blonde hair though...
There is also this guy
EDIT The helmet in not the same as Biggs, Biggs didn't have the red thing at the front, I'd expect every detail to be on point with this kind of cameos, so it's likely not Biggles.
(people found someone who migh be fan favourite Jek Porkins:
I hope the three above are new characters, so the Rebels Veterans expansion has some new interesting pilots to go with the X-wing fix.
Edited by eMeMThe guy in the back has a helmet that reminds me of the Gold Squadron helmets actually. You can see that peculiar cross of you zoom in
3rd from left .. Porkins? .. He has a robust build and similar looking helmet.
Hmmm .. the front and centre of Fabio's helmet differs to Biggs' helmet. Side panels the same though.
Could it be that the centre circular emblem represents participation in a particular battle? Maybe a battle in Rogue one?
Porkins also has it.
Unless that emblem is earned from being in this fight.

Haha, ninja'd by an edit. We're all the same page at least.
General Merrick .. different colour flight suit and markings on helmet. Could he be piloting a Y-Wing or U-Wing here? I don't think it's a U-Wing as (from memory) the preview showed a slightly different flight yolk in the U.
Regardless, I think we'll see Gen. Merrick in our game. Being a General I'd expect a reasonably high PS. Then again, I wouldn't expect to see a General piloting in a dog fight. Maybe it's giant pen he's pushing?

We have General Skywalker in his X-wing at PS8, and General Airen Cracken, in a Z-95 also at PS8.
Edited by eMeMLuke was never a general as far as I know, only Commander Skywalker when referred to by rank in Empire. Though we do technically have a General Skywalker at PS9, albeit later in his life.
General, as per the military rank, in Star Wars is not a direct analogue to modern military structure. While never spelled out, generals seem to be commanders in charge of specific battles. Remeber that Anakin and Obi-wan were generals, as were Han and Lando.
Military structure in Star Wars seems to combine both naval and army designations.
Not pictured here is a female pilot, that many are hoping is Evaan Verlaine, from the new comics.
For all you beardless women, you can still grow a beard in time for Rogue One.

I thought that might be the back of the helmet, but on closer inspection that does look like the front. I still feel like that's probably supposed to be Biggs.

General Merrick, makes me think of the old Xwing/Rebel Assault game pilot: Merrick Simms!
That could be Verlaine - I'd also be good if it turned out to be Norra Wexley

He has black and white flightsuit so, I think, he flies famous black&white X-wing.

Whaaaaaaaattt???

I think Luke became general in the EU, but I might have mixed things up.
Still, Airen, Lando, and Han were certainly generals.
@Norra
She was a freighter pilot at this point, her first mission in a fighter was at Endor.
Looks like the Alt-art Vet Insticts card.
