Default Star Wars Rogue One anticipation thread **NO SPOILERS- not even in tags**

I thought I would start this. I could swear there was a thread, but couldn't find. it.

but news is starting to leak out on the first Anthology story

We are going to see Vader at the height of his powers. It was hinted at in Rebels when he toyed with Kanaan and Ezra, and we'll probably see more this season.

'The action sequences filmed are unknown, but there was work pitching the different ways Darth Vader could kill rebels on a battlefield with the Force and his lightsaber. The storyboard “pitches” showed decapitated rebels, people being dismembered by Vader throwing his sword, levitating bodies to make human shields, and so on. The art was more violent than what we’ve seen Darth Vader do on screen before.'

  • The film will supposedly feature “Deathtroopers,” Stormtroopers with all-black armor that, from the sound of their name, are probably up to no good.
  • There will be a droid character who is being described as a “scene-stealer.” Supposedly a former Imperial droid who turns his loyalties elsewhere, this could very well be the mo-cap character Alan Tudyk is playing.
  • One of the characters is supposedly named “Cashen.” And there will be variations on TIE Fighters and AT-AT Walkers featured in the film.
  • And finally, they double-up on the previous rumors that Darth Vader will be in the film, saying that his role is larger than originally thought.
Donnie Yen's character appears to be blind but has attachment to the Force, but he's not a Jedi

There's also a rumor of a character from TCW's crossing over to this movie

Spoiler!


Death Trooper Helmets, looks like the Imperial Commando's from legends EU
