    Yeah there are much more TFA trailers without the KoR but they still were in the film, I don't know where this rumor is coming from.

    Because all the drama about how D changed it to more family friendly, less war movie, turned out to be true, lol?

    With Vader in the tank, who do you guys think is kneeling before it?

    IMO, it would be an awesome twist if it was Jyn! :cool:

    Looks slim and kinda tall. The asymetrical armor is pretty weird.

    It`s obviously not the same one, but it could be foreshadowing... maybe? :p

    Wait what?
    EDIT: Alright, I spotted him. Just looks like a background character from the Jedha set to me.

    That is definitely who we think it is, and I'm almost 100% sure it's for the scene we are talking about, whether or not that was cut.

    The only thing I might not like about this development (and it's really minor considering the entire PT did the same thing) is that it would mean the only film where we don't see what's under the Big Mean Black Helmet is ANH. Every other film featuring Vader would show a glimpse (or more) of him without the full suit, which waters down the impact of seeing him first in ESB from the back, then the full reveal in ROTJ.

    But like I said, any magic those two scenes from the OT has already been sapped by what we were narratively beaten over the head with at the end of ROTS.:rolleyes:

    So, just go for it, Gareth.

    Pretty sure now that it wasn't cut.
    Don't get me wrong, Gallius Rax won't be in this, but the tweet implies that the scene is still there.

    My final thought on who the black cloaked figure is, in light of the new "spoiler" in that creature feature, I think it's Palps. He's kneeling before Vader in the bacta tank. Maybe he's about to assign him to the Death Star detail or to watch Krennic or something.

    If the KoR/Rogue One theory is correct, there'd have to be some catalyst to get the KoR from the Empire to the First Order. In fact, since we haven't heard of them working for the Empire before, it might be that they had gone dark that entire time (either in suspended animation, or simply off the radar).

    Perhaps (and I know this is a crackpot theory based off of another crackpot theory) but this is some sith envoy that we've never met before, but who will take the KoR/R1 crew under his wing.

    Ian McDiarmid has confirmed that he didn't shoot a cameo. Considering that they brought Jimmy Smits back to play Bail Organa, I don't think it's likely that we'll see Palpatine at all in this movie.

    My guess is it's a messenger sent by the Emperor. Palps wants Krennic dealt with (and/or the stolen plans recovered), so he's summoning his most frightening henchman from his bacta treatment.

    Why in the world would the Emperor kneel before Vader? Doesn't make any sense.
