New Look At Darth Vader In Latest ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Images; Details On His Role Revealed
The latest Rogue One images give us a new look at Darth Vader and a number of never before seen characters and locations. Details about the Sith Lord's relationship with Krennic have also been revealed.
We know very little about what to expect from Darth Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (will he even ignite his lightsaber?), but Entertainment Weekly has shed some light on that and revealed a new batch of images to boot. It sounds like the Sith Lord's relationship with Ben Mendelsohn's Imperial special weapons director Orson Krennic will be a big focus here, and that there's going to be some tension between the two in regards to how they each perceive The Emperor's newly built Death Star.
"Here is the thing about Krennic: his perspective obviously is that of a person who doesn’t understand the Force," says Kiri Hart, Lucasfilm's head of story development. "And Darth Vader comes at everything from the perspective of understanding the Force. So that I think is the thing that you see sort of separating Darth Vader from other characters with regards to a super weapon like this."
"There are military men who are interested in a really effective piece of military hardware, and Darth Vader is a little bit beyond that, right?" he adds. "He’s tapped into something on another level, on a spiritual level. So, that’s part of the fun of Vader in the context of the Imperial Military. He’s got a broader perspective." That should be a lot of fun to see play out in Rogue One next month...
