I'm starting to think we won't see Vader in action. But boy does he look great.

 

[titansupes]

They'd have to be fools not to let Vader light up the red blade and go to town just once.

EDIT: Oh, and the suit looks so great... Weird they didn't put the under robes over the shoulder piece as in ANH, and no visible chain on the cape, but still.

It's weird because they did go back to the ANH style helmet. Oh, well. Another Vader suit to add to the list.

No opening crawl... Per Variety (on mobile can't post link)


These b******s... These *****

Spoiler

I actually don't care. I think it's actually a good move

 

[Greens]

Man, I wish Variety hadn't spoiled that.

 

[Ivan Drago]

I think I'm in love with Felicity Jones.

Send help.

It was already pretty much stated that was their intention way back in Jul

[I Am The Knight]

Didn't know that. It's fine with me, separates these movies nicely from the actual Episodes.

 

[Octoberist]

It's been speculated for a while, and has been sorta indirectly addressed by the Lucasfilm team. But you would bound to find out sooner or later.

Except we were told pretty much out the gate Vader would be used sparingly, and not the main antagonist, not going directly "to town" against the Rebels.
That is not this movie. Where did people get that?
Krennic is the main villain.
Vader is more behind the scenes.
If anything it was implicitly stated Vader would be more an antagonist to Krennic.

... he [Krennic] is hoping to squash the Rebels with his soldiers to gain favor with the Emperor, all while “avoiding the wrath” of Darth Vader. “The bad guy is a lot more terrifying when he’s really smart, and really effective,” says executive producer John Knoll. “There is a lot of palace intrigue going on in the Empire, with people conspiring to move up the ranks and sabotaging each other. .....”

Kennedy - “He will be in the movie sparingly,”

This movie was never going to be (nor should it be) about Vader lighting up and going against the Rebels himself.
Do people just want to set themselves up to have something to complain about?

 

[metaphysician]

Vader can be 'used sparingly' as 'not the main antagonist', and still have one of his scenes be, say, "unstoppable doom hammer that the heroes have to sacrifice their lives to slow down".

Oh, get lost with that attitude. "Used sparingly" in no way precludes "one scene where he cuts someone down"

Exactly. Not that hard to grasp.

What's there to spoil? You're not getting words displayed a certain way on-screen. Is that really something that would have been better to learn in the moment?
