Rogue One trailer confirms Darth Vader is back

The latest trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has answered one of the biggest questions surrounding the film - whether we'll get to see Darth Vader.

The answer appears to be yes.

Gareth Edwards' prequel to the events of A New Hope is out in December. This latest preview shows us what's in store, and it seem to be plenty more of what last year's The Force Awakens had - nostalgic fun with a modern, spectacle-heavy twist.

There are AT-ATs, Mon Mothma, the Death Star and - right at the very end - Darth Vader himself. His presence is hinted at throughout the two-minute trailer, with variations on 'The Imperial March' occasionally coming to the surface in the cacophony of strings and horns.

Watch the trailer.
