DARTH VADER is coming to Keighley’s cinema in person for the launch of the latest Star Wars film.

The intergalactic villain will be at the Picture House to entertain families and children coming to see the film in which he appears.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story begins on December 17 and Darth will be there before the matinee screening thanks to Beechcliffe Special School.

Darth has previously appeared at the Keighley school’s Superheroes and Super Cars charity days along with fellow Star Wars character Chewbacca.

Picture House manager David Pedrick said: “The appearance is being organised by Beechcliffe School’s friends and parents and a small donation is suggested if anyone wants a photo taken with Darth Vader."

Rogue One is the first Star Wars movie to tell a self-contained story rather than being part of a trilogy.

Taking place soon before the original Star Wars film, from the 1970s, it follows a rag-tag team of rebels trying to steal the plans for the Death Star.
