Via unnamed industry sources. Smells like bullshit.

 

[Eusis]

It won't be Anakin under the mask

One of the only two ways this can be justified at all: having an imposter take his place.

Though I guess it could actually be interesting for a post-redemption Anakin to be forced to deal with the aftermath of what he had caused, in the right hands anyway. But no "he's back as the main villain as if it were Episodes IV-VI!" crap.

 

[Anticitizen One]

and Eddie Murphy plays as The Riddler in Chris Nolan's Dark Knight Rises right?

 

[Linkhero1]

They should have given the movie ip to China. Obama's America etc etc.

 

[rekameohs]

I laugh at the people who said "It could be good".

No.

There was no chance.

And again itt's like poetry. It's sort of...they rhyme. Every stanza rhymes with the last one.

 

[jmdajr]

Clone?

 

[G-Fex]

They can't come up with an original villain now?

You know honestly I can't think of any other good star wars villains. I mean minus those damn prequels.

I think from that N64 game, the green guy, but I'm not even sure if he was a legit threat or anything.

 

[Archer]

The good news is that James Earl Jones will return as well.

 

[maquiladora]

Awesome, hope its true.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

So fucking dumb , what was the point of Luke's arc and the build-up of ROTJ?

Unless its ANOTHER Darth vader but thats retarded , any sith can hold the title of Darth.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Nope. Just nope.

 

[Jay Sosa]

lol

 

[Slayven]

Why? Iconic sure but Maul is as Iconic as Vader for people under 30.

Why not push the EU aside and bring in 2 new sith or a sith army and have a whole cast of new iconic bad guys.

Sucks from a story standpoint sucks from a marketing standpoint.


Hey kid pay lots for this new darth vader toy exactly like the old one you already have.

Vader became good in ROTJ are we reconnecting that now?

Maul came back.

 

[Uncle]

 

[harmonize]

Just let it be Jar Jar under the mask.

 

[Count Dookkake]

If you believe this, you are a kind of moron.

 

[Medalion]

Cloned Vader

Calling it

 

[diamount]

Maul came back.

That's not canon.

 

[G-Fex]

The good news is that James Earl Jones will return as well.

it'll probably be Lawrence fishburne now

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Will wait for more sources than "film mole".

 

[Recon]

And just like like that, a million hopeful voices were suddenly silenced.

 

[JonnyBrad]

The source is the Daily Express.

lol

Wait, what? Is this true??

 

[JaseMath]

God damn it...why?

 

[8bit]

The source is the Daily Express, where is the Princess Diana angle to this one?

 

[Kettch]

Haha, and people complained about the clone Emperor. Even the EU knew better than to bring back Vader.

I really don't see this happening.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

How is this even possible?

 

[Hilbert]

Didn't they burn his body? So it's a literal rising from the ashes....

Not after the NEW special editions where that scene is cut out.

 

[Tallshortman]

He blew up with a giant space station, how the hell would he survive?

 

[slit]

From the dead? Ok, that's just dumb.


I figured he might come back like Obi-Wan, but to rise from the dead? Dumb, dumb, dumb!

 

[DMczaf]

Don't worry, Disney will release another blu-ray with Vader's death edited in a way that allows them to retcon it.

 

[Relix]

Wait, what? Is this true??

Yup. Clone Wars, Books, etc... people really liked him. Much better than Dooku too. Still... hope this rumor is just that, a rumor.

 

[Eusis]

Wait, what? Is this true??

Doubt it. Certainly isn't with me, OH LOOK HE HAS A DOUBLE SABER, only thing that really sticks versus Darth Vader is that battle theme.

 

[Chamber]

Damn, this was even faster than the Sonic cycle.

 

[Bisnic]

But... he died and redeemed himself(somewhat). How can he go back to his old evil self? Unless they mean it's going to be a clone or something. Or someone who take back the same suit.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

You know what? Bring it on. Maybe we can get some more badass Vader moments to wash out shitty prequel Anakin.

I remain at cautious optimism.

 

[G-Fex]

oh that's right the source of the news.

I have a feeling there will be a TON of red herrings to fool the fanboys for years til 2014

 

[Grisby]

Ha ha ha ha ha.

 

[Berordn]

I don't think this is that big a deal. Vader's just a suit. Anyone can be Vader.

Anakin's still dead, and that's what matters.

 

[JonnyBrad]

The source is the Daily Express, where is the Princess Diana angle to this one?

Darth Vader to be revealed as Prince Phillip.

 

[jtb]

Fucking idiotic if true. But I don't think it is.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Well to be fair, Disney are known to make shitty sequels outside of Pixar lol.

 

[Majine]

I don't think this is that big a deal. Vader's just a suit. Anyone can be Vader.

"Darth Vader" is Anakin's sith name, no? How will they spin that?

 

[Count Dookkake]

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Yes, people who think this has any validity do deserve laughter.

 

[BattleMonkey]

That's not canon.

Seeing that it was George Lucas idea that he came up with for the Clone Wars TV series.... yes, yes it is.

 

[Salvadora]

No way on Earth.

 

[NYR]

Counting on James Earl Jones to be alive in 2015, 2017 and 2019? Good luck with that.

 

[PBalfredo]

Whelp, goodbye any and all cautious optimism.

 

[Liquidsnake]

I don't think this is that big a deal. Vader's just a suit. Anyone can be Vader.

Anakin's still dead, and that's what matters.

What if Luke has been playing both sides. During the day he is Luke Skywalker but at night Darth Vader.

 

[OnPoint]

That Yoda post is where it's at.
