His back story after Return of the Jedi could be referenced in the Mandalorian. My guess is they want to tell more of his story, but don't want him to steal the show in The Mandalorian. Also, it appears that it is supposed to be a mini series that would air before Season 3 of The Mandalorian, so likely an interlude of sorts. I'd personally prefer a new show with new characters (or a Vader series, if we have to return to the old ones), but wouldn't say no to more quality Star Wars content either way...

Give me a Vader series that takes place straight after Revenge of the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kenobi series and now this Fett spin-off will keep the money coming in for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Dave Prowse, the Bristolian former bodybuilder best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died aged 85. Prowse was cast as Vader for his imposing physique, even though the role was voiced by James Earl Jones. But the weightlifter-turned-actor was most proud of playing the Green Cross Code Man. The role, promoting road safety in the UK, earned him an MBE. "May the force be with him, always!" said his agent Thomas Bowington. R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I remember people were having issues of Ben not remembering R2D2, but after rewatching the scene, I think it works? The way Ben states "I don't remember ever owning a droid", seems like cheeky dig at R2 regarding the fact he was Anakins' droid and not his.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 10, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted December 10, 2020 A lot of Star Wars news coming from the Investor Day today. @Tommy I bet this one is going to make you excited... Wait for it... Other news: Over the next few years, roughly 10 Star Wars series will be released on Disney+. Ahsoka TV series has been announced, as expected. Another new show, titled Rangers of the New Republic, will be set within the timeline of The Mandalorian. Both in the hands of Filoni and Favreau! The previously announced Cassian Andor series will be released in 2022. Another one, called The Acolyte, will be a mystery thriller following the Dark side emerging during the end of the High Republic era. Think @Mel81x will be looking forward to this... I know I will. One more: Lando gets a TV series too! New animated series/movies: A Droid Story Visions (animated short stories - anime) Patty Jenkins will direct a new Star Wars film called "Legends of Rogue Squadron", coming out Christmas of 2023.

Both not canon anymore, but one of the finest SW books ever, and both tell the story from the Sith point of view! The audiobooks are even better.

Probably because Tony Gilroy told Kathleen Kennedy to fuck off. Glad she got sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no surprise really when you think about it.
