Doze Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Darth Vader will not be the primary antagonist of the filmFollowing the just-announced news that directors Phil Lord and Chirs Miller will direct a Han Solo spin-off movie, Birth.Movies.Death reports that none other than Darth Vader will appear in the first solo “Star Wars” movie, Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One. The site reveals that Vader will not be the primary antagonist of the film but will be “behind the scenes, pulling strings” and will literally appear onscreen via a viewscreen or holo projection. Link: http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/457439-darth-vader-set-to-appear-in-star-wars-anthology-rogue-one Details For Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One Plot RevealedBen Mendelsohn’s new Moff character is indeed the big baddie of Rogue One. The other main villains of the piece are bounty hunters hired by the Moff to quietly retrieve the stolen Death Star plans at all costs. Vader factors in once he realizes that the plans have been stolen, so he joins the hunt in a supporting role and is none too pleased. These bounty hunters include Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckuss & 4LOM, IG-88, and Cad Bane, who is from ‘Clone Wars’ and is making his live action debut. There might some new ones as well, but that’s the core group. So Fett will absolutely appear on screen again in a semi-main role before his solo film.

Darth Krawlie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Why does it have to be the EXACT same 6 from ESB? Why not just a couple of them? Too obvious a "hey look remember all of these guys" thing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I would be okay with all of them if they left out Fett. Give the others a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If that's accurate I'm sure we'll see the background for the "no disintegrations" line. Even though, like a lot of this stuff, that's maybe a story that's better left untold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 ... that's maybe a story that's better left untold.To paraphrase Douglas Adams, "Star Wars was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 & 6 years to go... Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I wonder if JEJ is going to voice Vader.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuskenRaider Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's doing it for Rebels so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't do it for a film. Very excited for Cad Bane though, if that proves true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I take it "Cad" was a cool cartoon character? This movie is sounding better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuskenRaider Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yep, Cad Bane was one of the cooler characters from Clone Wars. ^ I wish I could make that smaller. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He looks like Indiana Jones and Smurfette had a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryn Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 A rumor I've read and like is one of the characters is Lor San Tekka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I would very much like to see him in Rogue One, especially since I have a hunch he's Alderaanian. I think Poe's parents joined the Rebellion after Yavin, which is too bad, because I'd love to see Kes Dameron on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Small universe syndrome? Apparently there are only Organas, Skywalkers, Solos, and Damerons in the galaxy. And a Darklighter and Antilles, but they're not important unless associated with one of the other aforementioned families. Actually liking this idea!
