Star Wars: Rogue One leaks confirm rumored character, detail cast and more

Star Wars: Rogue One was officially revealed in a teaser in the first week April, but that wasn't when the rumors around the film first began making their rounds. If anything, the trailer brought a resurgence in one specific rumor – a rumor that has been addressed in a work-in-progress visual guide for Rogue One, discovered by JediBibliothek (via Blue Eyes).

Now, for the safety of your sensitive hopes and dreams, you won't want to read any further if you want to avoid spoilers. As a courtesy, I'll post a filler image to keep your eyes clean.

Leaked images have all but confirmed the return of Darth Vader in the upcoming spin-off film, through a number of articles of text that refer to him, as well as being referenced in concept art more than once. Vader has been rumored to a part of the film, with Spencer Wilding taking the role.

In addition to Vader, the leaked images also include a number of bios for character that we know and have yet to be revealed and a look at two new images that will appear in the film: the TIE Striker and the Rebel Starfighter.

Of the characters details, Pao and Bistan have not been revealed, however, they have been detailed (with penty of palceholder text) in the images.
