There's a new rumor that is lighting a fire under fanboys asses that Vader will be resurrected. People are losing their minds online and seething.

coolsome · 11/12/2012, 07:31 pm

I don't want Vader to return! They already humiliated him by making him a bland weenie in the prequels.

Alcoremortis · 11/12/2012, 07:34 pm

He could return as a ghost played by Hayden Christensen!

RetroVortex · 11/13/2012, 05:34 am

Okay, I'm calling it!

Star Wars Episode VII: Attack of the Jedi Clones

Shadowknight1 · 11/13/2012, 06:04 am

I don't want him back either, but let's be honest. From a marketing standpoint, Darth Vader is the poster-man for Star Wars and because his face his behind a mask, he can be virtually any actor. Whereas Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher can no longer put their faces forward and say that they're Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa. And I don't think CGI'ing the actors faces, ala Tron Legacy, is the answer. Mainly because there's not enough CGI in the world to make poor Carrie look young and beautiful again. So yeah. Maybe not from a story-telling standpoint, but Vader DOES make perfect sense from a marketing standpoint.

EDIT: Coolsome, Luke was a bland weenie in the first movie too, or need I bring up "But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power convertors!"? The difference is everyone built up their own vision of what pre-suit Vader was like, and Lucas didn't match our visions. And Hayden's acting didn't help much.

I declared it after that stupid Yuuzhan Vong storyline, but this franchise is dead to me. DEAD.

Because of a rumor? A rumor from a British tabloid, no less?

He's not that bland if you mentally insert this scene somewhere at the beginning of the movie.

Well, technically speaking, because of the Yuuzhan Vong :P

Rather Dashing · 11/13/2012, 08:46 am

I liked the Yuuzhan Vong storyline. Quite a bit, actually. It was the next one that ruined the novel continuity.

The wha?

Seriously, I don't read past the Hand of Thrawn duology. They killed Chewie. It doesn't deserve to be read.

Jokieman · 11/13/2012, 09:01 am

I just have no idea at what point they plan on picking this up again for 7,8,9. I mean seriously, all the main characters are too old now to reprise their roles. so what are they going to do, jump ahead a generation? Even if they did, Mark Hamill has said he would never be interested in doing another Star Wars.

Yes, yes it does. That was one of the very best and most dramatic moments in any Star Wars novel. He was given a hero's death like nobody else's, and everything that came of it made sense and was dramatically poignant. Yeah, they could totally have kept Chewie around doing random adventure bullshit that he'd done before, but one of the biggest problems with Star Wars EU material is the fucking stagnant nature of it all.

...why? People don't age in the Star Wars universe? What's wrong with it taking place 30 years later?

Any other questions?

BlankCanvasDJ · 11/13/2012, 10:16 am

Yeah. That's what happens when people age.

No.

This is how normal people age.

Carrie Fisher is how people age when they binge on alcohol and drugs. And Mark Hamill's only slightly better off, but that car wreck messed his face up. Harrison's in the best shape of the three.

BlankCanvasDJ · 11/13/2012, 10:40 am

Ok man, Sean Connery is not how normal people age. You'll learn that yourself in a few decades.

Also, the difference between the way you look at 27 and 56 (Carrie Fisher in RotJ and now) is a lot wider than between 59 and 79 (Sean Connery in those pics). Case in point: Sean Connery at 27 vs. Sean Connery at 56. Most people visibly age the most in their 40s and 50s.

My point is, Carrie Fisher looks the way Princess Leia probably would have looked 30 years later.
