Darth Vader
Played by Samuel Moore
MB & Homeland originally had plans to not release another trailer until February 2017, but it looks like they could be bringing one out as early as 1st January 2017. This trailer would reveal the other main characters that we have not seen yet, and will give us dialogue [unlike the first trailer] with a clearer understanding of the plot.
All of Darth Vader's takes are officially done for the next Star Wars FanFilm to hit MB & Homeland's YouTube channel on the 4th May 2017. Filming with the character begun on 18th February and finished 24th November 2016. Darth Vader is not the main villain of the film but does have a good amount of screen time in the movie. However filming has not finished completely on the movie, the movie will hopefully be finished by the end of December, with post production beginning after Christmas through till Spring 2017.
