Star Wars: Rogue One Footage Reveals Darth Vader

Darth Vader makes his return in Star Wars: Rogue One.

Today at Star Wars Celebration, Disney revealed a Star Wars: Rogue One sizzle reel. At the end of the video, we hear the breath of Darth Vader and see his reflection.

Footage has leaked online, while not of the best quality, at least gives you a quick gilmpse of Darth Vader, and you can hear his voice. You can watch the Darth Vader footage below.

“Star Wars: Rogue One” has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One, and Riz Ahmed.

Synopsis:

Rogue One tells the story of resistance fighters who have united to steal plans to the dreaded Death Star.

Darth Vader Confirmed For Star Wars: Rogue One

Darth Vader is back!

The cover of the latest issue of Entetainment Weekly confirms Darth Vader will appear in December’s Star Wars: Rogue One.

The movie takes place between episodes III and IV and sees the Rebels stealing the plans for the Death Star.

Just how Darth Vader factors in to the storyline is unknown, but the issue promises to reveal more when it goes on sale Friday.

EW.com also offered the following tease:

• The background of our cover showcases new Imperial weaponry being used against the nascent Rebellion: taller, slimmer walkers known as AT-ACTs hauling cargo, and flatter, fang-like interceptors known as TIE Strikers.

• New information about Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the outlaw who has clashed with both the Rebellion and the Empire, and now has a chance to clear her ledger of past wrongs by leading a mission for the good guys. It’s also personal – her father, played by Mads Mikkelson, is a scientist whose knowledge is sought by both sides.

• Full details of the squad of characters uniting to take on the Empire, played by the most multicultural cast to appear in a Star Wars film yet: Diego Luna, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen, Riz Ahmed, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk – as a performance-capture droid. (One of these has been seen before by Star Wars fans.)

• A look at the skullduggery inside the Imperial ranks, as seen through the eyes of a new villain: Ben Mendelsohn’s ambitious officer, who’s eager to earn the favor of the Emperor – and avoid the wrath of his black-masked enforcer.

• Candid revelations from the filmmakers about what the current reshoots are adding to the story as the film nears its December release.

• Finally, confirmation of what fans have hoped ever since the project was announced: Vader is back. We have a run-down of the Sith lord’s first day on set, and what his return means for the larger Star Wars storytelling universe.

“Star Wars: Rogue One” has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One, and Riz Ahmed.

Spencer Wilding Rumored As Darth Vader For Star Wars: Rogue One

It’s long been rumored that Disney wants to capitalize on one of the most well known and popular charcters in existence, Darth Vader, and now an actor is rumored to be playing the father to Luke Skywalker.

According to Flickering Myth, UK stunt actor Spencer Wilding will be putting on the Darth Vader costume for Star Wars: Rogue One.

Spencer Wilding recently had roles in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Victor Frankenstein, Jupiter Ascending, Doctor Who and Game Of Thrones.

More than likely Spencer Wilding will be featured in the costume with James Earl Jones back as the voice of Darth Vader. Jones has been voicing Vader in the animated Star Wars Rebels series, so it’s probably a sure bet.

Star Wars: Rogue One takes place before the events of Episode IV and after Episode III where Darth Vader first appeared in the movies.

Listen to the secret dialogue in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey flashback scene.

We already knew the scene featured Yoda and Obi-Wan (voiced by both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor), but apparently it features Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, the breathing of Darth Vader and Palpatine as well.

The Mike Zeroh YouTube channel put the video together, which first plays what we hear in the movie, and then later amplifies the sound so it can be heard a lot clearer. Cool video.

Larger Role For Darth Vader Rumored For Star Wars: Rogue One & More (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24025:]]

More rumors surrounding Star Wars: Rogue One have hit the net, which further address Darth Vader.

According to JoBlo in the following video, Darth Vader will have a larger role than previously thought. James Earl Jones has also been said to be back as the voice of the iconic bad guy.

Other rumors mentioned in the video include that the film will feature black-suited Stormtroopers known as “Deathtroopers,” and that the Rebels use a former Imperial droid, which now assists them in some form or another.

It’s also said a character in Star Wars: Rogue One will be named “Cashen,” and that AT-AT’s and new TIE Fighters are also said to be featured.

Check out the video below for more.

James Earl Jones Rumored As Darth Vader For Star Wars: Rogue One

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23859:]]

This probably shouldn’t be all the surprising, but it’s being rumored that Darth Vader will be featured in Star Wars: Rogue One and that James Earl Jones will return to voice the character.

The info comes from Making Star Wars that states Darth Vader’s iconic costume from Episode IV: A New Hope is being recreated for Star Wars: Rogue One. It’s further suggested that a new actor looks to be cast in the suit as the physical Darth Vader.

It’s said Darth Vader looks to be used in the movie “as a prominent player in a few scenes and something to fear for the heroes,” and it’s noted this would fit with Episode IV that sees Darth Vader chasing the stolen plans at the start of A New Hope.

James Earl Jones did return to voice Darth Vader in Star Wars Rebels, so obviously a part in Rogue One wouldn’t be out of the question.

“Star Wars: Rogue One” has a December 16, 2016 release directed by Gareth Edwards starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One, and Riz Ahmed.

Hayden Christensen Rumored For Darth Vader

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22198:]]

Darth Vader is once again rumored to be returning for Star Wars, with this time it being said Hayden Christensen may play the role in Episode VIII.

Darth Vader has been rumored to be returning for some time – for almost 3 years – with the latest rumor coming from MakingStarWars.

The site claims a fully operational Darth Vader chest piece and helmet have been created for Star Wars: Episode VIII, with it also said a LucasFilm team is going to train Hayden Christensen as Vader. It’s also been suggested Vader may have some sort of role in the Star Wars anthology, Rogue One, which takes place between Episodes III and IV.

Hayden Christensen, of course, played Anakin Skywalker in the prequels.

Whether the rumor is true is anybody’s guess, but as seen in Episode III, when Anakin became Darth Vader, the voice of James Earl Jones was used. By suggesting Hayden Christensen is going to be used implicates at the least his face will be seen on screen. Will Christensen’s voice be used when the mask is off? It’s also possible the scene could be short as, according to the rumor, only one Darth Vader suit was created, when in previous movies, numerous Darth Vader suits were used for filming.

Darth Vader is easily the most recognizable character in Star Wars, does the Disney merchandising machine want to capitalize on Darth Vader’s brand recognition as much as possible?

“Star Wars: Episode VIII” has a May 26, 2017 release directed by Rian Johnson.

It’s unknown whether or not Mark Hamill will be the bad guy in the new Star Wars movies, but Hamill did play the villain in the latest episode of The Flash with Trickster.

Fans of Star Wars certainly caught the reference from Empire Strikes Back in the episode when Hamill told the younger Trickster those four iconic Darth Vader words: “I am your father.”

Obviously Darth Vader is a fan-favorite character, so Disney could simply be trying to capitlize on the popularity to sell more more products.
