Darth Vader, the galactic man in black, to make a comeback in Rogue One

It has been revealed that Darth Vader, the galactic man in black, is set to make a comeback in the first standalone Star Wars story, Rogue One. The film is set before A New Hope, the original film in the blockbuster series, and stars British actress Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen and Forest Whitaker.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 23 June 2016.

Some "never-seen-before" characters will be introduced and a few classic ones will be brought back. One of them is Darth Vader, the galactic man in black himself. Incidentally, rumours of this return in British film-maker Gareth Edwards' contribution to the Star Wars franchise began to circulate in April when the first trailer was released. The 100-second teaser featured a retread of John Williams' familiar Star Wars score, including a snippet of the infamous Imperial March, that is used to signify Vader's approach.
The actor who will portray the role of Vader is not known.
32-year-old Felicity Jones, 32, who was Oscar-nominated for her role opposite Eddie Redmayne in The Theory Of Everything, plays rebel Jyn Erso, who has notched up a string of convictions for forgery, assault and theft. She is sent on a specific mission to help investigate "a major weapons test" - better known as the Death Star in development. She has also to find out how to destroy it.
Last year's 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' made more than $2bn worldwide, and analysts have backed Rogue One, due to hit cinemas on 16 December, to dominate this year's box office.
