Darth Vader in Black or White or Gray?

It's possible Luke or maybe another major character will assume the "Vader" mantle & fight for good instead of evil(dark side).
It may be like the Marvel Comics version of Destro where he wore a huge, heavy silver mask to honor his condemned relative or the Snake-Eyes commando character who wore a black mask because he was seriously disfigured by a helicopter crash.

Luke might need to conceal his appearance since Sith lightening or wounds may injury him like Palpatine in the PT.

 

I love the idea of a grey Vader. It'll be different enough that it won't tarnish the history of the character and be a nice jumping off point to the future of the sage while keeping what made it great. I even like the idea that eventually there will be a white Vader helmet too. We have to think of long game with Star Wars. If there's no more Darth Vader -- won't it just seem like a faded franchise whose best days are behind them? Nope... Vader must carry on. Imagine a bunch of kids in all different colors of Vader helmets -- it's a great idea and Disney will made hand over fist with the merch.

 

This isn't a reboot so no Vader in the ST please. I hope JJ makes it a point to honor some aspects of the OT, but ultimately move the story forward. Moving forward means new heroes and new villains. But I wouldn't mine seeing Vader make an appearance in one of the spin off movies!

 

It wouldn't be a roboot if it's just the costume that's being used. It will be a different character with completely different motivations and backstory. So, you would have new heroes and new villains, just the familiar mask that will be worn by someone different.

 

This is all speculation from all forum members at this point.
As noted in other topics, the one guy's VO/video on Youtube which was made in 10/2013 really covers many of these same themes/plots.
He stated how a new trilogy should have NEW villians & story arcs but be able to tie ALL the films together into a coherent plot/storyline.
The Skywalkers will be the focal point but how the Force is used or what occurs is yet to be known.

 

The only way I could envisage Vader working is if either Luke or Leia or their children get exposed to place that is strong in the dark side of the force and he appears in order to taunt them /lure them to the dark side

 

None of the above: a silver chrome

 

Vader is dead and will not return, at least the way we know him. He hasn't been seen in 30 years since he died and armor was burned. But what if it looks like he has returned, would the Imperial remnant fear him, since he was the Emperor's enforcer. What if it appears that he cannot be killed like a spectre or phantom. The new Tarkin novel tells us nobody knows where he came from, although Tarkin had his theories, that he appeared out of nowhere. Was he man or machine, of course we the audience knows, but to the galaxy he embodied fear, even to those that were fighting along side him.

 

You turn him into the hero.

 

If the Darth Vader mask (and armor) will be worn by someone in The Force Awakens, most movie critics will accuse the Star Wars franchise of lacking originality, and rightfully so. The idea may seem cool to some of us (not me), but the average-Joe moviegoer will think it's lame.

 

I like the Chrome idea
