It Looks Like Darth Vader Will Be in 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story'

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the franchise's first non-trilogy film, and it's using the opportunity to go back between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. With the plot surrounding the Rebel Alliance's theft of the Empire's Death Star plans, the biggest looming question has been if there's any way Darth Vader could not appear.

Today we can almost definitely put our doubts to rest and move forward assuming that Anakin Skywalker's Dark Side alias is hitting the screen again. A newly released preview of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—The Official Visual Story Guide shows Vader dead center on a page depicting the good guys on one side and the baddies on the other. The only thing bigger than Vader's helmet is the Death Star.
