Okay, I heard from someone today and this thing is being totally blown out of proportion.
Pickup shots were already scheduled but Disney's biggest issue (not LucasFilm but Disney) was that there's currently not enough Vader.
I think everyone wants to see Vader get as much screen time as possible so this isn't a bad thing but from Disney's perspective, it's all about merch and toys.
The Vader of R1 looks like Rebels and ANH, making it somewhat unique on the market.
Take it FWIW.
