SilverTrumpet 638 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It's weird that they specifically mention him as Darth Vader. That seems kinda useless. I always wondered if they'd do flashbacks with Obi-Wan and Anakin in the show, but this would be a weird way to announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,293 Posted December 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2020 I bet they’ll do some Kylo/Rey thing where they talk through the Force and so it’s Vader but in Anakin form, through Obi-Wan’s eyes. Or maybe a dream device so it’s one-sided and technically doesn’t mess with the canon. 55 minutes ago, Romão said: I don't think there's any way then can meet in this show.

New Star Wars live action, no matter how crappy the final product was, was always an event. Not anymore We all knew Force Awakens was the last time a Star Wars movie would have that aura. I remember all the hype at the time and thinking, this is it, enjoy this. I’m not even eulogizing. Star Wars and the faint of heart will survive. These things will either be fine or crappy or whatever, somebody will eventually stumble on some great take and that’ll be a good show or movie. But obviously there’s nothing particularly unique about it when it’s one of many in a conglomerate. Now we’re so used to going “Uh huh, yeah, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Pirates” it doesn’t register. Lucas’s independence was the magical and inscrutable thing about it even though it wavered between transcending or stooping to commercialization like any other franchise. The only difference is now it just sits at the same table as everything else (and these days it’s kind of the runner-up.)

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm more refering to the discussion between Tarkin and Vader in which both think Obi-Wan is no more which doesn't make sense if Obi-Wan defeated Vader on Mustaphar. I mean who could have killed him after that, to me it's unlikely that Vader just do nothing about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they won't get James Earl Jones involved, so we'll probably see lots of Vader unmasked. I can envisage plenty of TLJ-style Force-communication between the two (until Obi-Wan severs the link, maybe by cutting himself off from the Force).

I didn't like s2 because they didn't care in it about the previous narrative arc of those characters. Spoilers on Mando s2 below: Spoiler If I recall correctly the story happens 5 years after Return of the Jedi so why Boba (one of the greatest bounty hunter of all time) takes so much time to find back his armour where Mando only takes few days!

Nick1Ø66 4,722 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I think Hayden Christensen being in it must mean that he'll be playing a clone of Anakin Skywalker. It's the only thing that makes sense. If you're just going to have him as Vader, why cast Christensen at all? Having him be a clone would actually solve a lot of problems that the appearance creates in terms of conflicting with the established continuity and would tie in with the Emperor's cloning program. Knowing about that, it would be a surprise if he didn't try to clone Anakin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
