We all saw this coming, but it's hugely exciting news none the less. Darth Vader will appear in this year's Star Wars movie Rogue One which will be released on December 16.
The cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, which goes on sale Friday, confirms that the Sith Lord once known as Anakin Skywalker will indeed be showing up. We don't yet know who the actor in the suit will be, but it's a safe bet that James Earl Jones will return to provide the voice.
