Darth Vader

Lol yea this 60 year old British classically trained stage actor who grew up in the heart of colonial Africa is familiar enough with 90's Star Wars extended universe fiction that hearing the name Thrawn really made him hit the roof

He's so pure. I legit couldn't be more happy for him

Exactly this. He's admitted to not being a fan but having recognized the name of the character he's portraying. Who is the one Star Wars character that even non-fans are familiar with?

Sheev?

This is honestly more likely than Darth Vader.

No one knows who Thrawn is you fucking nerd

Got to be Obi Wan.

They could just get Ian McDiarmid to do it again, just like they got the other old people back.

He was implying it was Vader in that post you fucking illiterate retard.

A lot of people do now, actually.

>this lack of reading comprehension
He doesn't mention himself at all. It specifically says "the room." You guys are fucking idiots.

Withnail and I is a very good film.

>We're not from Coruscant

He obviously won't be Vader.

>I think he told me what my name was
How can he be unsure, when he then talks about the reaction???

>During a podcast appearance last year, Grant's recollection of the casting process implied that he could be playing a member of the military.

>"I got sent a 10-page generic sort of, I think, it was an interrogation scene clearly from a 1940s British B-picture because the references were not Star Wars and the language was something that my grandfather would have spoken in
Does that fit Vader?
Sounds more like a Thrawn to me

I can see them consciously fucking up and not having him return.

Maybe he didn't feel like doing it again.

Trips of truth.

what a nice man

I would have gay sex with paul john mcgann, no homo.

That's right. Because Vader has never been involved in an interrogation, right? And like he said, it was "generic." Not the script itself. And who's to say who the ghost of Anakin Skywalker would be interrogating? Maybe it's his grandson, Ben.

There's already leaked pics of him as a First Order officer.

He was excellent in Alien 3.

who's the twink? he cute

Isn't he just saying he found out he was getting the part and was excited?

Richard Madden?

>Leaked pics
>Doesn't link/post them

Ok.

You talking about /our twink/ Timmy?

a lot of fucking nerds

Kek who was he again?

Beloved fan-favourite Lor San Tekka

Prowse never showed his face. Sebastian Shaw played Vader without a mask.

I could see them using this guy, instead of Shaw, who's dead.

The vague simularity between Shaw and this guy is why I'll give the idea any merit.

But it's Abrams, so the actual use of the character will suck.

Love his voice, listening to him in those Dr Who audiodrama is heaven

Are you people legit so retarded that you think they're recasting Darth Vader with a major Hollywood actor?

He's an Imperial officer

I'm gonna have to agree with Thrawn, only because the only reason to make his ending in rebels so ambiguous is to bring him back at some point, and it'd be great to tease him here to set up a "New Empire" trilogy with him.

If it wasn't for SW threads on Yea Forums, I wouldn't know.

Then how will they explain as to why Hayden Christensen was retconned into episode 6? Will they double retcon this other guy in there instead?

Someone related to Tarkin perhaps? And Abrams name dropped Peter Cushing, making him spill his spaghetti?

He is Obi Wan's son, and Rey's father - a first Order General, but not force sensitive and 'unimportant'.

>it's Tarkin's son
Could this movie series get any worse at this point?

Nope. Check B for a photo of his character. He's just an officer. Probably just excited to know the name of his character. He's an excitable guy.

I mean C lmao

B is a new droid called Dio (D-O)

It's Tarkin's son.

It is Obi-Wan's son.

I had no idea that was him

Timothee Chalamet

But I do know Max von Sydow.
