'Star Wars Rogue One' Darth Vader Will be More Evil Than You Think

Latest "Star Wars Rogue One" Darth Vader updates are hinting that the supervillain will not be alone in wreaking havoc in the new Lucasfilm standalone flick.

In a recent announcement, Ben Mendehlson has been casted as one of the villains in "Star Wars Rogue One." Although it was just recently revealed that he will be playing Director Orson Krennic, and not the rumored Grand Moff Tarkin. New reports are now suggesting that he will be under the control of none other than Darth Vader himself.

Entertainment Weekly recently revealed that Krennic is very ambitious, and won't stop until he completely destroys the Rebels with his own squad of freaky Deathtroopers. While he is terrifying in his own right, "Star Wars Rogue One" Darth Vader updates claim that he will be very careful to please his master, Darth Vader.

"The bad guy is a lot more terrifying when he's really smart, and really effective," executive producer John Knoll said. "There is a lot of palace intrigue going on in the Empire, with people conspiring to move up the ranks and sabotaging each other. There's not a lot of loyalty there."

Previous "Star Wars Rogue One" Darth Vader rumors also claimed that Disney had to order some major re-shoots of the villain's scenes to make it more apealling to younger audiences.

“In a night scene Vader absolutely lays waste to a Rebel ground Squad,” Reddit user KeepR1Dark shared. “Unfortunately, this is one of the scenes we have to water down. We made it like something from the old slasher/horror films. Rebel soldiers who joked about a boogie man with magical powers and then minutes later are absolutely wasted.”

“They want a movie that kids can watch too because that will net the most money. [Director] Gareth [Edwards] is livid,” he continued.

"Star Wars Rogue One" is slated for a December 14, 2016 release date.
