Los Angeles, July 22 (AZINS) A new character named Edrio Two Tubes from the upcoming "Star Wars" film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" has been unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Edrio Two Tubes is a mercenary pilot whose face is obscured due to the mask that he wears to breathe. He flies alongside his eggmate, Benthic.
