Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Mennis Duren first appeared in the 2016 Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.^[1] Duren was portrayed by Dilu Miah, who has said the character was difficult to play due to the heavy cloak.^[7] The character was not named in the film's theatrical release but was identified in the "Rogue Connections" featurette included in the picture's home release. The featurette also revealed that the character was named after Industrial Light & Magic special effects artist Dennis Muren.^[2]
