Just when you thought Darth Vader couldn't get any more evil, it's been claimed that a "more violent" version of the villain will feature in Rogue One.

According to Making Star Wars, the Sith Lord will take no prisoners during his appearances in the battlefield scenes of the upcoming movie.

We'll apparently see "decapitated rebels, people being dismembered by Vader throwing his sword [and] levitating bodies to make human shields" in the battle sequences.

Several suits of armour have been built for Vader in the film, including a stunt version.

Meanwhile, the first-look image of Star Wars: Rogue One recently revealed that joining the previously-announced Felicity Jones will be Riz Ahmed, Diego Luna, Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen.

Star Wars: Rogue One is due for release on December 16, 2016.
