It's been rumored for a while that Darth Vader will appear in ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY, and now Making Star Wars is claiming they have some new details on his possible role in the Gareth Edwards-directed spinoff. While the site doesn't reveal anything too spoilery plot-wise, you may want to avoid what they have to say if you're sensitive to spoilers, but remember this is just a rumor for now.

According to Making Star Wars, a "Darth Vader Dream Team" has been assembled for his ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY appearance, and that the Vader costume "as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope has been meticulously recreated to match A New Hope perfectly." The site has also learned that James Earl Jones will be back as the voice of the iconic Star Wars baddie, although he will be "played by a new person that has never played him before."

The site doesn't have any solid info on how big of a role Vader will have in the spinoff, however they believe he will be a "player in a few scenes and something to fear for the heroes." Are you excited Darth Vader might be returning to the big screen?

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY is set to open on December 16, 2016.
