Yeah but they also wouldn't have cast Michael B. Jordan to play han solo, whoever they cast needed to be believeable enough to be a young han solo even if he wasn't a direct lookalike to ford, which also is the same for fett, he is meant to be a clone of jango so whoever you cast has to be at least some what believable as that same character in continuity.

Its kinda funny how no one has realised yet how important non-bias canon and continuity will be to this new disneyverse.
So who is playing Vader in Rogue One, Hayden? Of course not.
 
If they ever unmasked vader again its possible it would be him in make up
But he played him in the suit in RotS. They brought Peter Mayhew back, they brought Daniels back, why not Hayden?

Why bring him back to be in the suit? You can have anyone be in the suit but if it ever comes to having to show his face then yeah Hayden may be asked back.

With boba felt it's the Same you can have anyone in that suit, doesn't mean it's gonna be that persons voice too but if you plan to show him unmasked then yeah you might wanna keep to canon

Why bring back Mayhew and Daniels? You can have anyone in the suit after all.

As to why have the actor under the mask, it is simple, you want their performance. Which is why Driver played Kylo throughout, even with the mask on.

Tbh I ain't totally sure what you are getting at anymore, It wouldn't be Hayden's voice as Vader and he isn't tall enough either, Didn't they have to digitally make Hayden taller when he was in the suit in episode 3? That doesn't change the fact he is the face of anakin skywalker
 
Star Wars.com confirms new trailer debuting Thursday during the Olympics. Get hyped!

LOL!
Anyway rumor is Spencer Wilding plays the body of Vader - http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=516207

Also what matters is the voice will be James Earl Jones, and they don't need Christensen for the body, and if there is a mask off Vader in the film, he's so burnt and scarred at this point, it's mostlly prosthetic, they can use anyone.

They probably added some size by his boots and shot him taller.

And the point is they bring back the actors they want to bring back. They make decisions on what they want to do, and they act accordingly. Peter Mayhew isn't in the best physical shape, and Chewie was handled by another actor for the bulk of the film I believe. But they felt it necessary to bring him back for TFA. Same for Daniels. Hayden was in the suit. If they wanted him back, they could of had him back. They didn't find it necessary. Considering we are talking about the most iconic character of them all, that means they don't find him essential. Also there is the point that I do not believe we heard "Anakin" in Rey's vision. We heard Vader, Luke, Yoda and Obi-Wan. They went as far as to get Ewan to record new lines.

The way I see it, if they are bringing around OT characters that appeared in the prequels, they have the ready made excuse of "time passing" to do what they like.

Interesting part of that is their was some thought put into the idea of bringing hayden in as a force ghost for episode 7 which you never know could still maybe happen in 8 but lets just talk about 7 for a moment, they clearly didn't forget about hayden, they had that option on the table as a possible use for him so just because he isn't back in the vader suit as a movement capture artist which he isn't essential for at all doesn't mean a hell of alot

To go back to recasting fett though, there is no point to recasting fett unless there is a reason for him to look different and then you have to take into consideration the prequels and animated shows so i dunno why you think lucas arts will try and move away from it, maybe wishful thinking on your part buts the odds are very much against you

Okay you do realize Morrison never played Boba right? And that there is little to no shot that they will bring the actor back from AotC to play him in a solo a or a role in another Anthology film right? Boba is now a 30 year old around the OT as well. So if he shows up again, he is being recast. Unless they want to resurrect him from the pit and set a movie around TFA. That is the only way they could use Morrison.
 
I'd badass if Vader kills Smitt's character, while trying to hand off the Death Star plans to Leia.
 
Except we know how Bail dies...
 
This trailer thing is official then? Excellent if so... Just hope it isn't the one they showed attendees at Celebration.
 
Its crazy that they're taking so long to get the ball rolling on Rogue One. No ones talking about this movie. They really blew it at Celebration. I remember when the first trailer debuted for TFA. Every second cubicle on my floor was streaming it live. And people were playing it all day everywhere on our campus and standing around discussing. Now we are 5 months away and they haven't dropped anything to get our hearts pumping. If they drop that mediocre trailer they played at celebration its going to be muted reception yet again. No one outside of Nerd-dom has any clue about this movie...still!
You got Vader. I'm sure he's in it more than ROTS. And george pimped him in the marketing. Use him!

There's been major reshoots. That's the reason we haven't seen much, they don't have a cut of the movie yet.

I understand that.
But they have more than 3 mins of footage they can cut into a trailer. They showed only 1 second of Han Solo and Chewie. And everyone got their fix :)
