NFT: Some Rogue one news

BIG FRED 1973 : 6/24/2016 8:31 am
Looks like Darth Vader is confirmed (Thank God ) and some of the new pictures that were put out this week look great .I wonder if Ben Mendelsohn will talk with a lisp in the movie like he did on Bloodline lol

They would be nuts not to include Vader  
Chef : 6/24/2016 8:59 am : link
He is still the biggest franchise character.
he has a lisp  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2016 9:01 am : link
so i'm guessing yes. He's a fantastic actor though, don't see what the problem is.
Who plays Vader?  
Britt in VA : 6/24/2016 9:08 am : link
That's the bigger question.
Vader seems like an easy character  
AP in Halfmoon : 6/24/2016 9:10 am : link
with the mask and mechanical voice
Yeah, but Hayden Christensen's...  
Britt in VA : 6/24/2016 9:11 am : link
name keeps popping up, and I might be for that, for continuity's sake.
Wonder if they can  
Chef : 6/24/2016 9:12 am : link
get James Earl Jones out of retirement, if he still has the voice..

I'd rather Adam Sandler play Vader. Christiansen is miserable.
I read James Earl Jones  
Motley Two : 6/24/2016 9:13 am : link
will be back for the voice, that's most important. Now they just need a tall dude to wear the suit. I'm tall, man that would rad...

I think he should get another crack at it. I think it's unfair to judge him based on the prequels. If we did that for everybody, Natalie Portman would be working at Applebees.

He is, but with kim in a head to toe suit with James Earl Jones speaking for him, what could go wrong really?
They let Ewan McGregor do the lines in the force vision in Ep. 8....  
Britt in VA : 6/24/2016 9:16 am : link
Why not let Christensen wear the suit, especially if James Earl Jones is doing the voice?
Thulsa Doom!  
Motley Two : 6/24/2016 9:16 am : link
Vader!

Me to the hostess: Can I sit her section?
well yeah if its just the suit  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2016 9:18 am : link
then they can have anyone really. But if he's actually acting then I want nothing to do with him.

There's tons of great voice actors, i'm sure there's more than a few people who can replicate JEJ, though him doing it would be really cool.
I'm excited for this  
PaulBlakeTSU : 6/24/2016 9:20 am : link
I have no idea whether it'll be good, but just hearing the John Williams score in the theater is worth the price of admission
Christiansen  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2016 9:22 am : link
has always been a bad actor. Portman had huge success with Leon the Professional to start her career and since Star Wars has been a part of a number of successful movies giving good performances. I wouldn't compare the two at all outside of them both being in a shitty couple movies together where everyone outside of Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor was shitty too.
Affleck turned down directing TFA  
Vin R : 6/24/2016 9:24 am : link
to do Batman
I still cant believe that Leonardo DiCaprio  
Chef : 6/24/2016 9:25 am : link
Turned that role down.. expecialy knowing there would be at least two movies out of it
Well, he's tall  
Moondawg : 6/24/2016 9:29 am : link
and he can walk. Looks like he can play the part. I say give it to him for continuity.

Bad decision, but one I'm glad he made. He's a good director, but Star Wars is too big for him.

He was pretty damn good is that Shattered Glass movie, but the role suited him perfectly, but pretty dreadful in everything else.
yeah I guess in the grand scheme of things it won't matter  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2016 9:35 am : link
he'd have the suit on and i'm guessing Vader won't be in it much anyway.

Plus I think him directing a Batman film better suits him than directing a SW film
i wonder if  
BIG FRED 1973 : 6/24/2016 9:58 am : link
Grand Moff Tarkin and Bail Organa will be mentioned at all in the movie .I assume we will be seeing some of that Join the Empire propaganda that was on Rebels since that is around this time period
If Ben Affleck...

were to direct a Star Wars movie I would personally nuke Hollywood. Good lord...

I'm just hoping there is a spin off movie where they team up Bail Organa with Andy Sipowicz.

At 85, James Earl Jones will also reprise his role as Vader’s foreboding voice, while a variety of large-framed performers will embody the character behind the mask.
If Affleck  
Pete in MD : 6/24/2016 11:24 am : link
directed TFA, would he have brought in his buddy Kevin Smith in some capacity?
I've read Mendelsohn's character and Darth Vader hate each other  
Ben in Tampa : 6/24/2016 12:34 pm : link
And that Vader will sort of hang over both sides like a dark cloud. I love that we are going to see more of the 1977 Empire, where there are Governors and infrastructure and Vader isn't the only big bad in charge.

There's some speculation that Mendelsohn's character will be based on Grand Admiral Thrawn. Would love that.
