Indie Revolver is at it again! Following leaked photos of Episode VII stormtroopers and Han Solo concept art, the website is claiming to possess a leaked image of the main villain from Episode VII, as well as some information about his character.
SPOILER ALERT!
It’s true that the main villain of Episode VII is a Sith Inquisitor. He’s tall and thin and terrifyingly creepy, with glowing red eyes to match his red lightsaber. He’s got some robotic upgrades, like Vader – but no mask. The cybernetic bits weave in and out of him. He’s got a human upper lip, a steel jaw… and the robotic hand that JJ Abrams posted an image of. As LR mentioned, we’ll see flashbacks in this movie which will show us Princess Leia as a young girl and Vader’s involvement with the Sith during his prime. This inquisitor has a fascination Vader through the movie’s timeline as well though – just look how he stares at Vader’s shattered helmet in this image.
As always, this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.
