I've read that he's interested in going down that road again...

He was quoted last week in an audio clip while doing a press junket in Australia he would be up for reprising the voice over role again.

I think this goes back to what Lucas said about ROTS, that people really wanted to see Anakin as a kid who tortured puppies and then have a whole movie of Vader just going around killing people. I think that would be kind of lame. I think the way things stand, Vader comes off as someone to be pitied because he goes from a slave to Jedi and now he's a slave again.

Vader movie.
Helmet does not come off for the entire movie. Not even a hint of removing it.
Entire plot is Vader hunting down the Jedi who survived Order 66.
This one ends way darker than TESB or ROTS.
Credits.

With revised helmet/mask/suit/armor that's closer to the OT than the prequel version, wonky nature and all...

Exactly. I always thought Episode III should have been him transforming from Anakin to Vader at the beginning and the rest of the movie featuring him hunting down the Jedi and becoming the galaxy's #1 badass. :cool

EDIT: I'm conflicted on a Vader movie because you don't usually have a movie wit ha villain as the star. An Vader needs to be the villain. We can't have any hints of "he's really a nice guy deep down" because that takes away from the ANH Vader.

Original reply that came before reading the 15 pages ahead of me:
--------------------
There's no way they'd lead off with an "unknown" like Kyle Katarn. Sure he's an established character in the EU but the average ticket buyer has never heard of him. Mace Windu is even too "unknown".
So to me there's 3 choices that make sense from a business angle: Boba Fett, Yoda, and Chewbacca. As much as I'd like to see a young Solo, I could see a Lando & Chewie movie doing well. It would have to have that fun buddy-film-banter like Han & Chewie (or Jack Sparrow & Will Turner, or heck even the Lethal Weapon's Riggs & Murtaugh feel). Would need to be done right. And I don't know if we can trust Disney to do that.
Yoda, to me, should be left alone. I didn't even want to see him battle Sidious in EPIII.
Boba Fett could have an Iron Man type feel to it. Young bad ass, in a cool suit, being a "good guy" bounty hunter rounding up scum for fun & profit.

There's been debate at times over in the Episode VII thread about the direction in which Star Wars should be heading: new characters versus the classic characters. In the case of new stand alone movies, Darth Vader should be seen again and, of course, should remain the villain, but a new story arc featuring new heroes in the times between Episodes III and IV would be the perfect (and only, really) place to put him. That twenty year stretch could be full of intrigue with new characters dominating the action, but with Vader in the background hunting the Jedi and Palpatine orchestrating the ascendance of the empire.

I wouldn't start out with it, but I think the story could be cool because he's an interesting character. I would rather see his adventures pre-Jedi (Dark Forces period) when he was a merc though. Still I'd be happy if they just had him standing around in the background of Episode VII!
Right. I think Yoda should be kept a mystery. One of the newer SW reference books, says Yoda's species is unknown and rarely seen, so let's keep the mystery there.
That could be cool, but in the back of your mind you'll keep thinking that a blind guy with a pole took him out. :lol

You're probably not far off. My guess is, they've cajoled Harrison back into the Falcon by promising him a "solo" movie.

I agree on Yoda but for different reasons though. I think that he should be left alone not to keep him a mystery but because I don't find him to be that interesting of a character that we need a whole movie devoted to him and/or his backstory. Yoda served a purpose as a second mentor/teacher to Luke and he was find as that but that's all I really see him as and that's all I need to know about him, anything else would likely not add anything to the character. The same goes for Jabba, he's also a side character and minor villain that's sort of the arch nemesis to Han, that and he's a major crime boss is all there really is to the character and all we need to know; anything is pure fluff and serves no practical purpose.
