AceShowbiz - While fans are waiting for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" panel at Comic-Con, new details from Star Wars universe are revealed. The first installment of "Star Wars" anthology series, "Rogue One", is said to feature bounty hunters along with main villain, Ben Mendelsohn's Grand Moff Tarkin.
Previous plot details explained that "Rogue One" would involve a rogue band who steals the Death Star plans. It was also reported that Darth Vader would make an appearance in the upcoming film. Newest report from Bloody Disgusting claims that Moff Tarkin will exactly become the big nemesis in the film.
"Ben Mendelsohn's new Moff character is indeed the big baddie of 'Rogue One'. The other main villains of the piece are bounty hunters hired by the Moff to quietly retrieve the stolen Death Star plans at all costs. Vader factors in once he realizes that the plans have been stolen, so he joins the hunt in a supporting role and is none too pleased," the source says.
The source also explains that the bounty hunters include Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckuss, 4LOM and IG-88 as well as Cad Bane, who will make his live-action debut. Additionally, the source says that there is a possibility to add a Wookie bounty hunter to the group, but there is no confirmation as of now.
"Rogue One" will take place between "Episode III" and "Episode IV" when there wasn't a lot of Jedi activities. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the sci-fi movie is slated for a release on December 16, 2016 in the United States.
