    be quite cool to see darth in rogue one, plus it would make sense.

    as long as they never bring him back to life in the sag, i have no issue seeing him in anthology films when he is alive, if its right for the story

    I'd love if Vader's suit and voice match ANH.

    Apparently, according to MSW, they had a team work to get the suit to look as close as they could to ANH and also James Earl Jones will be back to voice the character!

    Nifty cameo I'm sure, but not much more than that. I also wager some Moff is going to get to blamed for these events and suffer Vader's wrath, which would could be the exact cameo at the end.

    Also I can't believe how Episode 8 has me kind of ho-hum right now with the awful quotes from Rian and Colin out right now, do these guys get Star Wars at all? Colin seems clueless. Rogue One though, yeah, a grittier vibe, less Disney Mystery Box, more actual story and great scope would be cool.

    Something that isn't just a rehash of what worked before, something inventive and truly new would be refreshing and I think Rogue One is going to provide that. There's something just a little Sonic Youth about the spirit of this film already. :)

    If Disney wants to use Vader (and I'm very sure they do!) this really is their only best hope.
    Probably a lot depends on how focused the movie is on the actually stealing the plans (most heist movies have the theft towards the end) in which case less Vader, and how much is the 'get away' in which case there's more room for Vader to be there. I think there's also a 'risk' that as Vader is a such a dominant character, if he's just dropped in as a cameo at the end he will 'destabilise' the story and I think they're going for something that 'works' freestanding for people who hadn't seen the other films.
    I don't think anyone else mentioned it, James Earl Jones did the voice work of Vader for Rebels, so he's definitely 'in the building'.

    I think that this film will we much darker than VIII asks id love to see Vader use his LIGHTSABER in a faster hardcore style than in ANH sand the rest of The OT .

    She must have hidden the plans in
    the escape pod. Send a detachment
    down to retrieve them. See to it
    personally, Commander. There'll be
    no one to stop us this time.


    Now that's what I'd love to see - who "stopped" Vader before and how?

    I read that line as the Rebels, potentially the Rogue One team, prevented or delayed the Empire from recovering the Death Star plans before they could be transmitted to the Tantive IV prior to A New Hope.

    No force-using, No lightsaber, but what about Vader as a pilot hunt down some of the main protagonists in the final act, that's interesting.

    Wasn't it recently reported that James Earl Jones will be voicing Vader in R1?

    Vader should be in Rogue One, otherwise it would be a ridiculous missed opportunity for Disney to make even more cash. 97% of SW fans would surely want it, granted it's done right. It's also a chance to satisfy all the people going in to ROtS thinking they were going to see Vader in action. Disney will probably keep it hush-hush for as long as they can.

    I foresee the Rogue One team getting their asses handed to them by 'ol heavy breath....

    Vader should definitely be in Rogue One given the timeframe of this movie. However, he should not be overdone in it. A few minutes of screen time would be enough. I think you could see him when they first discover the plans compromised. He could force choke whoever he holds accountable then give orders to retrieve them. If the rumors about Mads Mikkelson's (sp?) character being the one who initially turned over the plans then I could see a seen where Vader extracts the info of what he did with them that leads the Empire to go after Felicity Jones' character and crew. Finally I would expect to see a scene at the end where he is given a report that the Empire discovered a transmission carrying the plans being sent to the ship carrying Princess Leia Organa from Alderaan and Vader stating in some form that he will take care of this matter personally.

    I think they really need to reestablish Vader as a total badass. He may have been a cry baby, but, bamo, getting one's arms and legs chopped off and going crispy critter can give one a nasty disposition. I just want to see an evil Vader.

    If he is at all weak in this movie, then they should have left him out. This is the point where he is at the height of his powers!
