Star Wars: Rogue One - 10 Things That Will Happen

7. Darth Vader Is In The Bacta Tank

Teased only once during the first trailer, the mysterious glowing tube has countless fans wondering who's inside. A lot of time and thought has gone into this quick and brief shot with some rumors even mentioning it not making the final cut of the film.

The house money is banking on none other than Darth Vader being the individual within the tank. At this point in the new canon, Vader has not been seen since the season 2 finale of Star Wars: Rebels. There's many rumors saying Rogue One is full of Rebels nods and Easter eggs. Is it possible Vader is still recovering from those events?

While Rogue One takes the spotlight away from the Skywalker saga, it leaves the door open for great opportunities to expand on the franchises title villain. Darth Vader is the Emperor's hound; dispatched only for the most important Imperial missions. It's only by chance this journey forces him to cross paths with his once presumed dead child/children. If this scene makes the final cut, expect to see a Darth Vader without his armor and prosthetic limbs; a husk of his former self.
