Fan CastingSTAR WARS: THE RISE OF DARTH VADER (2028)

Set shortly after Revenge of the Sith, this story is a haunting exploration of Vader’s rise to power, his internal struggles, and the calculated ruthlessness that defines him as both a tragic figure and a terrifying force of nature. We follow his psychological descent into madness, haunted by visions of Padmé and the remnants of Anakin Skywalker. With the Empire consolidating power, Vader is tasked with quelling political uprisings and neutralizing rivals within the Imperial ranks. As the Emperor tests his loyalty, Vader becomes a dark mirror of a fallen hero—an isolated figure navigating the brutal and corrupt inner workings of the Empire. The story is not just about the grand battles but the intricate, manipulative power plays akin to Napoleon, showing how Vader learns to master the art of war, politics, and fear. The galaxy begins to feel his suffocating presence as he takes control, not just as the Emperor's weapon, but as a commander shaping the Empire to reflect his vision of order. Echoing Joker, the film reveals how Vader’s internal suffering and conflict fuel his dark transformation, turning him into a villain driven by pain.
