I’m pretty burnt out on “badass angsty slasher” Vader, and I think a lot of fans have this borderline hero worship of the character that goes too far. A lot of people want an R-rated slasher that’s just about Vader hunting Jedi, for example, but that goes against the spirit of Star Wars.
2017 comic Vader is a lot more complex then that. They did great making a more angry younger version of Vader while still having him feel like himself, unlike most of the prequels. And 2015 comic Vader is straight up OT Vader.
Not saying I want that movie, but isn’t the whole appeal of spin-offs that they can almost be their own thing and not have to adhere to the style and feel of the saga films?
Disney’s given us more then just cooler Vader. Season 1 & 2 of Mando were amazing. Din Djarin is a great character and I still love Grogu. Moff Gideon was a great villain and season 3 finally did what I thought wasn’t possible and made me like Bo-Katan.
