Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer - 10 Things We Want To See

3. A Tease Of The Villain(s)

Who will be the villain of Rogue One? It's an interesting question, and one that - if you believe the reports - has some very big answers. 

Boba Fett. Palpatine. Grand Moff Tarkin. All names that have been linked with the film, as well as suggestions of a team of bounty hunters - led by Fett - sent to try and retrieve the plans. Then there's the biggie:

Darth. Vader. 

Yes, cinema's greatest villain could be making a comeback, James Earl Jones and all. That actually makes a lot of sense, given the timing of the movie and Vader's foul mood at the beginning of A New Hope. 

While the first teaser is unlikely to actually full on show-us that, it'd be incredibly exciting to have a tease of the villain. The trailer plays out, then in the final moment there's just a quick clip of his instantly-recognisable breathing. Ok, the marketing execs at Disney can no doubt think of something better, but who wouldn't be excited after that?
