The level of secrecy surrounding Star Wars: The Force Awakens was very high, and it looked like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was going to follow suit. Thankfully, JediBibliothek have uncovered a work-in-progress visual guide for the Star Wars spinoff which reveals a lot more info on the highly anticipated film.
In addition to confirming the long-rumoured appearance of Darth Vader, the guide also gives us fresh looks at new ship designs while revealing a few more details on the characters we'll be introduced to later this year:
Felicity Jones plays Jyn Erso, a highly skilled soldier and warrior.
Diego Luna plays Captain Cassian Andor, an officer in the Rebel Alliance.
Jiang Wen plays Baze, a freelance assassin
Riz Ahmed plays Bodhi, a rebel soldier.
