Awesome images!

Also, I think Vader being in it was confirmed months ago.

@kylo0607 - We haven't received any official confirmation whatsoever, just rumours.

kylo0607 - 5/17/2016, 4:04 AM
@MattBellissimo - My mistake then. Well, I was certain he was going to be in it anyway. I am pretty sure these images confirm it.

@MattBellissimo - @kylo0607 You need Vader to kill all the good and bad guys at the end, i imagine Darth Vader along some kind of Death Squad will kill everyone around this mission and later the Main bad guy of the movie for failing the Empire.

I hope to see some Force from Darth Vader, like him killing 5 guys at the same time...

Have we been shown Mads' character yet or a name or anything? I'm becoming very curious what his role is here.

@PietroJaximoff - No character name but there was an interview where he said he's playing someone's father...I believe it's Jyn's father.

Original rumour was that he was the architect of the death star

This will be better than TFA.

@TheFro - Easy. It just needs some good AT-AT and Vader scenes and it will have way more Star Wars atmosphere than TFA and the Prequels.
