Okay... movie is out. We've all been dying to know which design they decided to go with. Admittedly I have yet to see it so, for all I know it makes no appearance at all... but if it does... can somebody tell us what's up in a not spoilery way?

I'm seeing it opening show tonight. If certain spoilers I've read are correct, his lightsaber almost certainly puts in an appearance.

Ten bucks says it'll turn out to be that MPP that was supposedly purchased by Lucasfilm last year.

Since this movie butts right up against ANH I'd find it hard to believe it would be different.

Rogue One has symmetrical stormtroopers and a spherical Death Star (as opposed to the oblate spheroid it was in ANH), so they're clearly not opposed to making changes here and there.

in theory, yes... but given that we've seen time and again that prop continuity is not something they seem to obsess over, there's no way to be sure. The fact that the ROTJ Vader Graflex stunt is often referred to as the hero and is the model frequently used for toys, I'm understandably curious.

Here's a page from Star Wars Rogue One Ultimate Visual Guide showing Dearth Vader's lightsaber (source):

Re: Dearth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

I saw it tonight, watching it for the first time there are too many other visuals to observe detail of the hilt.
 
Re: Dearth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

I don't think it's very much a spoiler to say that lightsaber is present but it isn't a close up to reveal details
 
Re: Dearth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

The hilt was basically invisible. He could have been swinging a Maglight for all I could tell.

If you want to watch the ending again (password is "rogue1")...

Did some of those DH-17s have magazines?

Edit: is a video player showing up in this post for anyone else? It's just supposed to be a link.

Edit 2: changed the format.

Just got back-- yeah. Too dark to see. And I don't trust visual dictionaries/guides.. they've burned us before!

At least they got the correct ignition sound for the saber given that the OT Blue Ray's do not.

Re: Dearth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

The movie was amazing. Couldn't tell which Vader's had at all. That scene where he lights up the hallway by igniting it, CHILLS.
 
Re: Dearth Vader's Rogue One Lightsaber

I almost screamed during that final scene. I've already watched the one posted on here about 12 times. So that's the ANH configuration on the slideshow collectible?
