Star Wars Characters in Rogue One
8 Classic Star Wars Characters Who Appear in Rogue One
Darth Vader
As the biggest baddie in a galaxy far, far away, he's technically appeared in every movie in the main Star Wars universe except for The Force Awakens. In The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, he's known as Anakin Skywalker — an ambitious young Jedi destined for greatness. However, in Revenge of the Sith, he earns the new name Darth Vader after turning to the dark side and becoming Emperor Palpatine's latest apprentice. By the time we reach A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, he's established himself as the most fearsome guy in the galaxy, and it's up to his children, Luke and Leia, to take down his evil empire.
When we see him in Rogue One, he's fully settled into his new bad-guy suit and only pops up occasionally to threaten someone. Still, his name alone invokes terror in those who hear it.
