Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set to premiere on 16 Dec 2016. This one is a gritty war movie with just as much action taking place on the ground as in space.

Are you skipping a new “Star Wars” movie? No. We already know that he’s in the movie, and that he’ll still be voiced by James Earl Jones, even if we don’t know who exactly will be in the suit.

The famous silhouette of Darth Vader appears in the new commercial for Disney’s upcoming film, which arrives in theaters December 16. John Knoll wrote the story to Rogue One, which of course is based on the original characters created by George Lucas.

Felicity Jones stars as Rebel spy Jyn Erso and is joined by Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen and Donnie Yen, the latter of whom dispatches stormtroopers with a sword instead of a lightsaber. Their mission – which will probably be successful – is to steal the plans for the Death Star.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first in Disney’s “Anthology Series” of spin-off films that will also include the now untitled Han Solo prequel movie due in 2018.

It was also recently revealed that Rogue One will finish a mere ten minutes before the 1977 original A New Hope begins, making the two films ideal double-bill fodder. Are you with me?”-right before we get a glimpse at the main attraction: the back of our favorite villain’s shiny black helmet”.
