Ben Mendelsohn as Director Orson Krennic – He uses his Deathtroopers to snuff out the Rebel Alliance, and is trying to earn his way into the Emperor’s inner circle. He’s no fan of Vader.

And… whats a Star Wars film without Troopers?

Sadly there are no on set photos of Mads Mickelson – whose character holds the secrets of the doomsday device everyone wants. Looks like they’re reserving those for later.

On to the Darth Vader news… 

  • James Earl Jones is back as the voice, and the suit will be inhabited by a bunch of physically large actors
  • Rogue One takes place 19-20 years after Revenge of the Sith, so he’s still not big in galactic politics and is in a breaker/fixer role
  • Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says: “He will be in the movie sparingly, but at a key, strategic moment, he’s going to loom large.”

There are more interviews and photos over on Entertainment Weekly’s website if you want a more in depth look.

 

So… did they actually offer Episode VII to Ben Affleck? Discuss.
