Darth Vader to make a return in new Star Wars film series

[Max Payne]

I know there's a thread already but this deserves its own because WHAT THE FUCK

Following news that Disney has bought the rights to the lucrative sci-fi franchise and plans to make at least three more movies, industry insiders say the evil Vader will grace the big screen again.
“He’s an integral part of the franchise. Replacing him is virtually impossible,” explains a film mole.
“The plan is for him to return and play a significant role in the new films.”
Former bodybuilder turned actor David Prowse donned the black body armour in the original three films but the character was voiced by James Earl Jones.
Actor Hayden Christensen, who starred in the subsequent Star Wars prequels, was the last actor to appear in the suit following his character Anakin Skywalker’s descent to the Dark Side.
Writer Michael Arndt is already working on the new Star Wars scripts.

Fellow old favourites Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia – played by Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher – have already been tipped to reprise their respective roles.
While Vader seemingly met his end in the 1983 film The Return Of The Jedi it seems this will not stop his comeback.
“This is science fiction remember,” we’re told. “Darth Vader will rise from the ashes.”

Now I'm not familiar with the extended canon in the books and comics, but seriously what

only somewhat on topic but i always hated how lucas tried to paint the entire series "the darth vader show" with the prequel trilogies.

obvious dumbness aside, this is just feeding into that even more.

The only way I can see this is happening is maybe like some kind of Force Ghost warning session or something, like similar to Cade Skywalker (from Star Wars Legacy) meeting Anakin/Vader's force ghost (who took on all his different adult appearances) for guidance but it was one of those guidances where you have to get beaten up to get it.
Other than that I got nothing.

This came from a british paper called the Daily Express, quoting an anonymous source. Seriously take it with a pinch of salt.

 

[Interslicery]

He didn't have his breathing apparatus on, and the last time we saw him he was dead (or I guess unconcious now?) and one min later the death star blew up. He got better tho.

This is why I didnt get my hopes up about Disney buying Lucasfilm. I'll celebrate when they produce a good product.

 

[Ghost X]

I really hope Pixel is correct.

How does an evil Vader come back when we see his ghost at the end of the original trilogy being all smiley face and redeemed, as well as fulfilling the whole Jedi saviour prophecy etc? I'd have no issue with a reincarnation of evil Vader except for that little hiccup.

 

[Pixel]

There was a mention of cloning, but that would be stupid. Vader wouldnt need the suit without his medical conditions, so he would just be a clone of hayden christianson. That wouldnt have any impact

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

The EU actually had a clone of Vader during Vader's lifetime. The clone built itself a suit of matching armor and helmet as well as a copy of his lightsaber because... why not, I guess. Didn't need the respirator though.

Also, please be right about this possibly not being true. Let Lord Vader rest in peace.

It came from the Daily Express? That's a paper about as bad as The Sun or The Daily Record here in the UK. Papers that are notorious for literal sheer fabrications. The only thing these rags are useful for is when you run out of toilet paper. Same with any British Tabloid, literally the most corrupt and worst journalism system in the world IMO. Behind IGN maybe, but at least they're inadvertently transparent about it.

tl;dr, never trust a British Tabloid. So it's probably not true.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not gonna happen.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Even if some moron is thinking about doing this, the inevitable backlash from the fandom would have them playing it off as a joke.

 

[Cthulhu]

Who dares to bet that they will do yet another remake of ep. 6 where they edit out the ghost of Darth and a key scene so they can go 'orite he escaped!1oen'?

Because the Star Wars series, at least the movies, are all about Vader.

Another option is that the movie takes place between ep. 3 and 4, causing current eps. 4 - 6 to be rebranded as ep. 5-7.

Another option is ghosts and evil possession and whatnot.

I think in theory it could be interesting to see the effects of nature vs nurture on a clone... though they kinda touched on that with boba fett.

Speaking of, i wonder if they would bring boba back, since he originally survived being eaten by the giant desert vagina

 

[Octo]

I always thought the sarlacc was more anusy....until they ruined it by giving it a fucking beak.

One thing that bothered me is that the new version of rotj had hayden christiansen as ghost vader at the end....what happened to fat baldy vader? How would luke even recognise him?

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

^Yeah that was retarded. I notice Yoda didn't suddenly de-age down to his teenage/young adult years. At least I guess that he didn't, for all I know his species looks like a wrinkly old scrotum from birth

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

The reason he's Hayden Christiansen at the end of the new version is because that's whet he looked like before he turned into Vader. They honestly should have just gone with charred, scarred, bald Anakin for the ghost, t would be much moar realistic.

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

Oh, and if they have bring a "dead" character back. it better be Mace Windu. As shown by the fact that he can beat Palpatine in a fight when no other Jedi can, Mace Windu is the is the most badass Jedi evar(which is to be expected, considering he's played by Samuel L. motherfucking Jackson), And I doubt the moast badass Jedi evar would die from a stupid fall out of a window, no matter how high off the ground he is.

 

[Flintlock]

I wouldn't be surprised if Darth Vader came back, or was cloned, or made an appearance through another contrived method. New owners => new desire to cash in on the franchise's biggest asset.

That is, biggest apart from

Spoiler: this guy.

 

[Hisako]

I find it hilarious that this sort of rumoured creative decision would make George Lucas look restrained and subtle

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

The new film'll probably bring back Vader, Mace Windu, Aerith, Tellah, Galuf, Snape, Citizen Kane, Dumbledore, and the Marowak that Team Rocket killed.

I'm positive mace got hit by every flying car on the way down to the ground though

Dude, no. Bullshit, I personally brought peace to that Marrowak's tortured spirit. Anyone who wants to drag that thing back to the world of the living can go through me

It was a joke anyway, where I said it would bring back {bunch of characters who are famous or semi-famous for dying}. And Mace Windu AKA SAMUEL L. MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON AKA the moast badass Jedi evar would not die by getting hit by a stupid car!
