Darth Vader TV specials

Post by Buzz Bumble »

The latest rumour from ComingSoon.net ...
Lucasfilm Reveals Plans for Darth Vader TV Specials
Ever since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, the future has looked very bright for the possibilities of Star Wars, but today's announcement, straight out of the European Brand Licensing Show, is a little out of left field.

Jedi News has discovered a brochure from the official show that shares some details that Disney is planning for the franchise, most notably some "Darth Vader themed" television specials. The brochure doesn't specify if the specials will be animated or live action, but we have our guesses that it could be a tie-in to the upcoming Star Wars Rebels.

Other information included in the brochure includes Star Wars LEGO games coming for mobile platforms in the spring/summer of 2014, a "digital library" in the fall/winter of 2014, and the tentative plans for a spring/summer 2015 release date for the highly anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII.

The title is vague enough that these could be anything, from a LEGO short or some other spoof to an advert of some kind with a Vader-themed framing device using clips from the movies or someone in a suit. They could be animated ala Rebels and tied into that show or something completely different. I'd eat my hat if it turns out to actually be some kind of dramatic live action material.
