Warning: Spoilers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead! Turn back now if you haven't seen the entire series! 

Obi-Wan Kenobi has proved once and for all that Darth Vader deserves his own spin-off show. Now, hear me out, you might be thinking that the Skywalker Saga already contains more than enough Vader, ♒but – as the Obi-Wan show has proved – there's always more story to tell. 

In fact, Obi-Wan Kenobi had some of the best Darth Vader scenes ever. Whether the Sith Lord was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:tearing transports from the sky, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:dragging Obi-Wan through flames, or simply 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:opening his eyes in a bacta tank, the internet could not get enough. We've never seen Vader quite like this before: even in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One, which saw him slice through🦂 countless Rebels on a quest to recapture the Death Star plans, he wasn't quite as terrifying as the Vader we saw slaughtering his way through a village or besting a vengeful Reva using only the Force. Unleashing Vader in his own spin-off would let us see even more of the Sith Lord at his brutal best. 

Of course, a solo series should not exist just for it's own sake: a Vader show could shed more light on the mainline Star Wars movies, just as Obi-Wan Kenobi has enhanced the original trilogy. Thanks to the Jedi's adventures with young Leia Organa, her iconic "help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" line 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has even more meaning. The last episode also finally reveals why Obi-Wan tells Luke Skywalker that Vader killed Anakin – it's something Anakin tells the Jedi in their climactic duel. Even a minor detail like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Luke's toy airspeeder is more r꧒esonant after the series. A Vader show could easily do the same and elevate the already existing movies while telling a new, compelling story in its own right.

Vader is more than capable of being at the center of such a story, too. While you might be thinking the Sith Lord is best used as a villain lingering in the shadows, the Vader comics prove he can carry his own complicated plotlines. A TV series could bring in some lively supporting characters from the Star Wars universe, as well: we already know that Vader and Boba Fett have a working relationship, for example, and while comic book stalwart Doctor Aphra hasn't yet made the jump to live-action, considering her adventures with the Sith Lord, it would make sense for her to debut in a Vader show – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:she could be just what the saga needs

As for the logistics, Hayden Christensen has already expressed interest in returning for his own spin-off, as well as a potential 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2. The actor has received the warmest of welcomes back to the Star Wars saga, and that goodwill would undoubtedly extend to a solo project. "It's been just extremely special for me," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Christensen told Total Film at Star Wars Celebration. "Just waiting backstage, before we came out, and watching the video footage [a montage of Star Wars movies and shows] that they put together, I was having a hard time not getting all choked up. This is a world I care a lot about. It feels really good to be back." It would be a shame, then, to bid goodbye to Christensen's Anakin so soon after☂ his return. 

And while the actor has said he's open to appearing in a second Obi-Wan season, it's unlikely that any further installments could feature the Sith Lord again without breaking canon, or, more importantly, diminishing the emotional impact of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:episode 6's battle. Beyond the Ahsoka Disney Plus show (which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Christensen may or may not be part of) a solo series is our best bet at another Vade𓃲r appearance. 

For now, the future of Vader in the Star Wars saga is unclear – but Obi-Wan Kenobi is all the proof we need that a spin-off holds plenty of potential. If we never see the Sith Lord again (which, let's face it, is extremely unlikely) then the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus show is more than enough to tide us over… though it wo🅰uld certainly be a shame.
