Star Wars: Rogue One - 10 Things That Will Happen
4. Darth Vader Will Use The Force
The role of Darth Vader has been shrouded in mystery for Rouge One. It's assumed he won't have a lot of major screen time but hopes are high he has more than Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens. Much of the marketing has focused on Jyn Erso and the band of heroes, but Darth Vader appears to loom large in the background.
Director Gareth Edwards has gone on record stating the Force will also take a back seat during this film. Rogue One will be the first film that does not predominately feature Jedi or Sith characters driving the ship. However, that doesn't mean the door isn't wide open for some fun in the realm of mysticism.
When Vader is on screen, he will steal the movie in the same way Han Solo did in The Force AwakensI. Vader will represent a huge advantage to the Imperial forces during battle; using both his skill with a lightsaber and the Force as an ally. Don't be surprised to witness a classic Force choke or two by film's end as well; one potential reserved for Director Krennic himself.
