Vader confirmed.

Photos and character information.

Honestly I'm more excited for this than Episode VIII. I love Imperial political intrigue, and I like the idea of a grittier, more war-movie esque Star Wars film.

Is Tarkin going to be in it?

With Peter Cushing having passed I'm not sure. If he is, I doubt he'll be present beyond an appearance via hologram.

This is why I didn't put it in spoiler brackets. Every other entertainment news site is going to spoil it anyway.

I can imagine Donnie Yen and Baze being built up to be these pretty badass fighters throughout the movie...and then get cut to pieces by Vader.

That'd be pretty cool.

In RoTS there's a guy playing him during that scene showing the Death Star. Just because the guy who originally played him is dead doesn't mean his character still can't be done.

Looks more interesting than the JJ stuff honestly.

TFA was alright but I didn't think it was anything special. This looks like it'll be a lot better.

TFA was basically just a way to kickstart Star Wars again

Hoping so

Wasn't all that keen on the new characters. Finn seems cool and Dameron could've been cool if he had more than five minutes of screen time but Rey is just wholly uninteresting as a character.

Maybe I'm still just bitter they cut out 30+ years of expanded universe stuff like the new republic, imperial remnants and yuuzhan vong for some lite versions of the former two.

Eh. It was an enjoyable film but I honestly preferred RoTS and the original trilogy more. I think it's like 343 taking over halo or bethesda taking over fallout - they can produce some great stuff but overall they don't have the same view as the creator and so the more it goes on the less it feels like a natural continuation and more a fan fiction.

Plus GCW in general is a lot cooler than this post-imperial era they're doing. Though TCW is better than GCW and I'm still bitter that fhey cancelled clone wars s6 for rebels.
