The Irish Mirror newspaper ran an article today speculating that WWE Superstar Sheamus will be playing Darth Vader in the new “Star Wars: Episode VII” movie that is currently in production.

 

Sheamus, who is currently in Ireland, where scenes for the movie are being shot, has appeared as Darth Vader for various Star Wars promotional tours in the past.

 

Sheamus is not currently listed as a cast member at IMDB.com, however, there’s also nobody listed as playing the Darth Vader character.

 

In response to the Irish Mirror report, Sheamus tweeted:

 

"I cannot confirm that I won't not be reprising role of Darth Vader in #StarWars ... I hope that's clear @IrishMirrior ;)"

That *Censored* can't even speak proper English, god lord, no.

He wouldn't be voicing him, He'd just be the guy in the suit.

SPOILER ALERT.....

 

he died in Return Of The Jedi

 

 

they better not f*****g do this.

 

Flashbacks.

I doubt Darth Vader will be in the movie, but Sheamus would be a decent choice to wear the suit. He's about the same size as David Prowse, the original Darth Vader.

 

For those of you wondering why Darth Vader would be in Episode VII when he died in Return of The Jedi, his appearance would probably be in the form of a flashback or a force ghost, a la Luke's encounter with him in the cave on Dagobah.

ok flashbacks makes sense.

 

ya know, i still have never bought any SW dvd's. i watch them on my old 1985 VHS tapes. i absolutely refuse to until they release the original ROTJ version the the Sebastian Shaw force ghost ending. i thought replacing him with Hayden Christiansen was a slap in the face to Shaw.

Same. I have the prequels on DVD but I will forever keep my old pre special edition VHS tapes of the original trilogy.

so just because the movie is filming in Ireland and sheamus once played vader, that means he is in the movie as him? if vader was even in the movie it would have been announced already, plus he died in Return of the Jedi, so not happening
