Making Star Wars (via SFFGazette.com) claims that the team responsible for bringing Darth Vader to life on screen is being reassembled for another project. Apparently, James Earl Jones has already been tapped to voice the Sith Lord again in a future project, while the crew who help Hayden Christensen portray the villain are also busy prepping for another TV show or movie.
The site doesn't know what this will be, but common sense points to Ahsoka seeing as it's in the midst of shooting. Christensen is going to reprise the role of Anakin Skywalker in that series, so perhaps we'll see a live-action take on Tano's duel with her former Master from Star Wars Rebels?
The response to seeing Darth Vader in action in Obi-Wan Kenobi has been hugely positive, especially after this week's stellar episode. The benefit of modern technology and choreography means he can be portrayed in ways fans have dreamed of seeing, with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a good example of the sort of chaos that could be unleashed in future.
Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie is a possibility, though that doesn't seem like a good fit based on what little we know. Other Disney+ TV shows, meanwhile, are set in the wrong time periods, such as The High Republic era or following Vader's death in Return of the Jedi.
We'll have to wait and see, but more of this iconic screen villain is never a bad thing...
