Actor Donnie Yen stars in Star Wars "Rogue One" as Chirrut Imwe, who plays a key role "in the Rebel's mission to steal the plans for the Death Star." Yen said he "was hesitant" about taking on the role because he had just finished filming another movie and wasn't sure he wanted to leave his family again. He said he asked his children if they wanted him to be in Star Wars, and of course, they said yes. He said that's when he realized, ?there?s something special here.?
