Entertainment Weekly revealed this bombshell on the cover of its latest issue which comes out later this week. Darth Vader will appear “looming in the background” of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. One of the writers made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote the issue, and said that, although Vader will show up in the movie, he won’t be the primary threat to the Rebels.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released Dec. 16.
