"Star Wars Rogue One" Darth Vader updates continue to give fans more reasons to watch the first Lucasfilm standalone flick. As latest reports also suggested, fans will also see how bad the Galactic Empire really is.
In a Reddit forum, one fan noted that "Star Wars Rogue One" will be a very important movie for the franchise. "Among other things, one of (if not, the biggest) things Rogue One will bring to Star Wars is the realization how BIG & BAD the Galactic Empire was," user shocktroopco noted.
"I mean, we've always seen how big the Empire was compared to the Rebellion, but we haven't seen the cruelty of them in a live-action film yet. The most cruel we've seen them was probably the destruction of Alderaan (which is a BIG loss, but we didn't see people dying/hurting on screen)," he added. "It will definitely be something I'm going to be looking forward too along with the same characteristic in Vader. I want to see him cruel like the new Vader comics."
Meanwhile, apart from the "Star Wars Rogue One" Darth Vader cameo, it would seem that fans need to brace themselves for a rumored death in the upcoming movie. At the Star Wars Celebration in London, cast member Jiang Wen may have volunteered some information he shouldn't have.
"I pretend [to all the characters to do a very, very big mission. I cannot say [anything more about] that," the "Star Wars Rogue One" actor tried to explain as he struggled with his English, The Independent noted. "And [he gestures to Donnie Yen], when this guy dead I do something better. Maybe I believe by my action - he's thinker, I'm doer so-"
At that point, his co-star Gwendoline Christie tried to salvage what she can by saying, "I think we need to leave it there. I think you've got to leave it there."
"Star Wars Rogue One" is slated for a December 14, 2016 release date.
