Star Wars: Rogue One - 13 Things You Missed In The Teaser Trailer

8. Bacta Tank

Star Wars Rogue One Jyne Erso Vader Bacta Chamber

The big mystery of the trailer comes from the shot involving the Royal Guards, a chamber, and an unknown cloaked figure. 

Speculation abounds, and will continue to until the reveal happens, about just who the person in the cloak is. Is it Darth Vader? Is it Palpatine? Is it Supreme Leader Snoke? Is it a time-travelling Kylo Ren arriving in plenty of time to kill his father again so he can stop himself from ever being born? Who knows! 

However, while the Royal Guards indicate the presence of the Emperor in this scene, it's also worth noting that the chamber looks pretty familiar. It's a little more slender, but it's still very similar to the bacta tank we see healing Luke in The Empire Strikes Back. Does this indicate that whomever is in the chamber is in need of some serious healing? Are we going to have to see Palps in that bacta diaper?
