'Star Wars' Rogue One News & Updates: Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso Rebel Crew, Black Stormtroopers And Darth Vader Cameo Confirmed?

There is much excitement over Disney and Lucasfilm's 2016 release "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," and now it looks like more details have been uncovered about the Star Wars prequel. A German website has just come across a book that reveals the names of Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso Rebel crew, the truth about those black stormtroopers and Darth Vader's highly-anticipated cameo in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!"

The "Rogue One" Visual Story Guide

Jedi-Bibliotek, a German website that specializes in everything Star Wars, shared some pages from the book "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide." The pages list the names of the Rebel crew that accompanies Jyn Erso on her mission. Diego Luna plays the Rebel Alliance officer Captain Cassian Andor while Donnie Yen is the spiritual warrior Chirrut. Riz Ahmed will portray the Rebel soldier Bodhi and Jiang Wen is the freelance assassin Baze. The crew also includes two alien warriors named Bistan and Pao, however the names of the actors who will play them were unlisted (via Jedi News).

The "Rogue One" Visual Story Guide also confirmed the name of the droid seen in the "Rogue One" trailer as K-250. The droid, which could be played and voiced by Alan Tudyk, is revealed to be a former Imperial droid that may have been reprogrammed by the Rebels.

The Black Stormtroopers Have The Perfect Name 

Star Wars fans were blown away by the appearance of black stormtroopers in the "Rogue One" first trailer. The "Rogue One" Visual Story Guide reveals that those shiny black soldiers are known as Death Troopers and are working for Ben Mendelsohn's Star Wars character Director Krennic.

Cue The Imperial March, Darth Vader Is Coming 

The "Rogue One" Visual Guide also puts the focus on the Empire, which happens to feature a huge photo of Darth Vader himself. The image may have confirmed that Darth Vader will have a major appearance in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."

Star Wars fans need to be reminded that the photos featured in the book are not yet final, so there are still possibilities that some details will be changed in "Rogue One." For now, the information listed can still be considered rumors (via io9). "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" flies into theaters on December 16.
