I agree that a Rogue One Rework would be pretty nice. But unfortunately I don't think these will be it. As they have several problem that prevent me from liking them.

Jyn is the one I have the most problems with. While it seems that this is a really nice upgrade, when you look closer it is actually worse than what we currently have.
The upgrades to her basic and specials seem nice, but in reality do practically nothing. Seeing as advantage disappears as soon as they score a critical hit, that buff will never stick around long enough for the extra effects to go into effect. Effectively making them useless. And yes, that buff will be gone even with the added one in the basic. Seeing as Rogue one (and rebels in general) are very out of turn attack focused. You even increased that effect with her unique ability. So yeah, those do nothing. The only way they would do something i if you start spreading Advantage around massively with the entire team. But First Order already does that. And if I wanted that I would just go to them. Why would you want Rogue one to be a First Order clone?
Speaking of her unique, that one also isn't that good. Again, Rogue One and rebels are already very assist heavy, and the assist from her unique also only comes after she already damaged an exposed enemy. Which usually already does a lot of damage. So that is all things considered a minor buff. But what you took away here is what makes this rework idea so bad. You took her stacking potency and the potency from her lead away!!! This is horrible!!! The reduced potency makes her less viable. And no, the turn meter gain is nice, but seeing as the Exposes aren't inflicted by the rebel allies themselves, it isn't that nice or good of a feature, and also copies Emperor Palpatine a bit. But the fact that she no longer stacks potency trough her unique drops her viability to near zero. With it she could reach ridiculous potency numbers, allowing her to overpower pretty much any Tenacity in the game except Tenacity Up. (thou her team had buff immunity and dispels). But now, that is gone. This is bad because if you go to swgoh.gg and search for her stats, you will see that Jyn at g13 has 0% base potency. And since turn meter removal can be resisted, you ensured that she can never steal any turn meter from anyone ever again!!!! This actually pissed me off a bit when I first read it. The can't be resisted stun is also not that good because of the same reason. Her huge Potency potential made it so that it wasn't resisted that much anyway.
So to sum it up: your rework added 2 things to her special and basic that do nothing, 2 things to her other special and unique that slightly increased her viability by like 5% each, and removes something that reduces her viability by 95%.
You removed a pool, replaced it with a glass of water and said "here is your upgrade". Thanks, but no thanks.

This one I do like some better. It does actually make him better. But it's not that good. To my opinion, it's not enough.
The basic is pretty much a copy of Blaze Malbus's basic. Who already s a Rogue One. So that is not that useful. Especially seeing how much Blaze counterattacks.
The first special is actually pretty nice. Nothing wrong here, just a nice buff. But the second special is still bad. The turn meter gain ad removal are still extremely bad, especially for a 4 turn cooldown ability. And the extra things you added aren't that impressive either. That one is still too bad.
The unique is better than wat we currently have. IT's not that that of a design, seeing as the buffs will overlap a lot, but it's better that wat we have now.
Overall a good design, I just thing it's not enough yet. I actually did a Rework idea of him myself quite a while ago. You can check that one out here, if you're interested: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/186344/bodhi-rook-rework-idea Maybe some of the idea's I had might give you some idea's. Who knows.
