Perkins' Pitch Can Fulfill Many Fans' Desires
While many people are hoping forStar Wars’expansion onto television to result in a Vader-centered project, Perkins' pitch could easily stand out as something truly special. Rather than opting to capture a story from Vader’s life, his pitch is more abstract and open, which could offer plenty of creative freedom to step outside the reality and limitations of the canon.
