It’s good to see another confirmation that the movie will be released in Spring/Summer 2015 as all previous Star Wars movies and not in December as some rumors suggested.

Also the Darth Vader specials sound pretty interesting. According to BleedingCool there are rumors that the Darth Vader suit has been spotted at Pinewood Studios where filming is expected to begin in early 2014. I wonder if it’s for these TV specials or….

    I know it. Darth Vader is greatest movie character of all time and there is no way not to be back on star wars somehow. Inetersting to see how. TV specials sound good.

    In Darth Vader we trust. One of the few if not only villian that i LOVE so much.

    Now here’s the question I want answered….

    Why Darth Vader? Isn’t he, like…… dead? Unless Anakin Skywalker’s ghost somehow has an influence on VII, VIII, and IX? We all know that Star Wars was originally conceived as a 9 part saga, but I don’t understand how this is going to promote the new film.

      There are some circles that report it was originally conceived as a 12 part saga.

      If you notice, they are making an obvious effort to bring classic Star Wars back into the main stream. Everything you see between now and Ep VII will look like “old” Star Wars… Stormtroopers, Vader, Jabba, x-wings, and so on…..

      In the Legacy Series as Jacen Solo reflects on how his Grandfather acted in the Empire so shall he in the Galactic Aliiance.

    Maybe he’ll be hosting a “making of” special the way C-3PO and R2-D2 did back in the early 80s.

    the show might be about when Vadar teaches his student ( Star Killer ) the ways of the force…… that did happen between episodes 3 and 4…….. and the Bobba Fett movie ( if made ) would be about his rise in bounty hunting and eventually will end right before his quest to capture Han Solo to take him to Jabba……… we would think…

    This sounds cool. I was hoping that they’d say when the teaser/trailer would be released though…

    I hope that Darth Vader TV specials would not be as the infamous Star Wars Christmas Special.

    They should save Vader for the Rebels series. He doesn’t even have to talk, just hunt down Jedis, hacking and slashing his way back into our hearts… 🙂

    ^^^ Damn dudes, I don’t know what’s up either of your asses, but it must be lodged pretty tightly if it’s making you this butthurt… Both of you should probably watch the movies and maybe even check out some of the expanded universe before making any dumbass statements on fan forums. No one’s going to take you seriously.
    As far as all ths Vader stuff goes: could it even be one of the many side-stories that include him from the EU books and video games? This was a curve ball for sure.

    I’m still waiting for a Death Troopers or Red Harvest TV special, movie or video game. That’d be a smart move by Disney, if you ask me.

    I’m just glad that Bea Arthur is dead.

    And it sounds like you guys are taking this whole Star Wars shit to seriously. Why don’t we all calm down and find out what happens when the movie is released in 2015, then we can all have a big old bitch like we did back in 1999.

      You’re on a Star Wars fan forum, dumbass. Do I really need to remind you?

    “Let it beeeee between episode 3 and 4. I wanna see all the things only talked about in a new hope. THAT WOULD BE SWEET!!! Yeah!”, jumping up and down.

    Who love the quick responses this site rocks. Save maybe the language. The anonymous feature rocks too. I wish the language was edited though. : )

      What do you mean by the language to be edited?

    Maybe Vader could have been cloned by the Imperial remnant, similarly to the way Picard was in Star Trek Nemesis. Conditioned to resume his war on the New Jedi Order or just simply to be a symbol of impending doom for the New Republic. We can only dream.

      Yes they should use the Borg in Star Wars with Darth Vader as the new Clone Troopers.
