Oh the lore is there. Cloning force users for instance is... difficult, and often leads to insanity on the part of the cloned, but it is possible, and flash memory imprints also exist. In fact, there are a few pieces of fan fiction where the remnants of the empire do exactly that, flash clone a healthy copy of Vader who wears the iconic armor more for symbolism than out of necessity.EcoEclipse said:I don't really care, as I haven't watched any of the Star Wars since I saw Episode I in theatres when I was, like, five or six.
They say Vader is returning, but not that Anakin is returning. So, that could mean a copycat or something. Like Jigsaw with the Saw franchise.
Besides, it's science fiction. You don't think they can just whip up new lore to back up a resurrection, if such lore isn't already present?
