According to the latest rumor, Darth Vader could very well be making an appearance in a pair of upcoming Star Wars films.According to Making Star Wars, not only is Darth Vader rumored to possibly be appearing in Rogue One, but in Episode VIII as well. "A team in the U.K. are soon heading to the U.S. to begin training Hayden Christensen for a Star Wars: Episode VIII appearance of some sort," the outlet has heard.A "fully operational" chest piece for the villain as well as his iconic helmet are apparently being developed for Rogue One. As for Christensen's potential appearance in Episode VIII, speculation ranges from an Anakin-centric flashback to a full-blown resurrection of Vader.Filming for Episode VIII is currently underway in Ireland and will reportedly feature Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker.
You know, in my opinion, Hayden looked pretty menacing when he turned to the dark side

Oh for fuck sake, can we put this Vader meme to bed already?He has a cool suit and a cool voice, that's literally the only reason why he's so popular. Inserting him as the centrifugal character of the prequels is precisely why they failed. There's nothing really interesting about him, or nothing interesting that Lucas could come up with anyway.ANH portrayed him as a moderately high ranking general of the Empire, nothing more. He was surbodinate to a multitude of people (Tarkin) and openly mocked for being an ex Jedi. Not the supreme badass that the superseding films portrayed him to be.The only reason he caught traction is because his aesthetics and persona struck a cord with a lot of people, and now we have a mildly interesting villain with an albeit cool vibe to him as the recurring antagonist, despite the fact that he has no particularly interesting character traits to ride home about besides his visual appearance.Ranting aside, I'd rather they come up with new antagonists instead of relying on the formulaic approach of recycling old villains, (especially one as lacklustre as Vader) which has become all too the norm in Hollywood quite frankly.

Well they're not original. They fit all the typical archetypal tropes of the medieval fantasy genre, (dashing young knight, princess in distress, lovable rogue etc) but at least they all have memorable character traits besides le ebin brooding boogeyman.
