"Star Wars Episode 7" rumors hint of a new villain that wields a very unique light saber never been seen before. Meanwhile, Adam Driver will reportedly play a rich collector with storm troopers-like soldiers as his private army.
According to the Star Wars Underworld, the "Star Wars Episode 7" rumors started when reader Erik posted on his
ImageShack a photo of an alleged villain for the latest installment.
"His mask looks like a combination of Vader and Revan, and you could definitely see the guy underneath the mask being some kind of Sith historian," the site said.
One of the most interesting things about the photo are the two hilts which makes the saber look some sort of a Medieval sword. The website described it as "two mini sabers being used to stab someone at close range"
Meanwhile, Indie Revolver posted more "Star Wars Episode 7" rumors when it reported that Adam Driver will play some sort of a rick aristoract who collects Sith artifacts, instead of being a young Darth Vader as earlier rumored.
Adam Driver will have for himself a private army, composed of chrome storm troopers, which are described by the site as "silver mercenary rent-a-cops rather than true Imperial Forces."
"Might JJ (Abrams) try to make lemonade out of lemons with Padme's home planet? Could our Sith-obsessed aristocrat hail from the same planet/society as Vader's wife? Or is this just a natural result of bringing the prequels' Doug Chiang back as production designer lead concept artist (Thanks for the correction, Matthew Palanca!)? Indie Revolver wondered.
"Star Wars Episode 7" will open to theaters on December 18, 2015. Last week, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy revealed that the production is only three weeks away from being finished.
"Once the cameras have stopped rolling the film will go into post-production. The footage will be edited, and special effects, sound and the score added ahead of a scheduled release in December 2015," The Week added.
