Gizmodo reports that viewers have spotted "an Imperial officer looking across a viewport at the construction of the Death Star." The ears, the hair, and the uniform are said to resemble that of Grand Moff Tarkin. Add the heavy breathing of a Sith Lord in the new teaser of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and you have people reserving their tickets for the December 16 premiere like crazy.

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" could be using some powerful computer graphics for this since actor Peter Cushing passed away two decades ago. Moff Trakin made brief appearances in "Clone Wars" and "Star Wars Rebels." The character was briefly portrayed by Wayne Pygram in "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith."

Slash Film, on the other hand, revealed more exciting characters to be introduced in the upcoming "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." The movie also builds on the lead character, another woman, Jyn Erso. She and an unlikely band of characters form the beginnings of the great rebellion. "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is directed by Gareth Edwards.
