I dunno. Read the thread
This from Soule
Then
I don’t know what any of this means.

Okay, so all of this has been about how some people see Revan's helmet in the comic. Maybe that's what it is, maybe it isn't. I thought it was just a stupid Easter Egg but not Charles Soule allegedly is saying that it's more meaningful than that. If so,... I'm super curious to see what it amounts to, but if he's not being cheeky, then it's definitely a Darth Revan reference. Look at the final image in Soule's tweet. You can see what looks like Revan's classic helmet.

I thought it resembled Fett’s facepiece more.

Exactly why I think it's a meaningless easter egg. But if Soule says it's more, then I'll trust him until proven otherwise.

Can’t personally help but think this is laying seeds for stuff to come, mostly in books, but a few nuggets onscreen that only us nutjobs will even see.
It’s not nothing. One of the story group has brought it up on twitter as has one of the writers of the comics. It could be low key early hype building for IX, as with the very obvious Kevin smith thing, and the surrounding extra curricular canon and that’s all.
I’ll take it personally. In the absence of any official news forthcoming, these little breadcrumbs are kinda more interesting in a true Star Wars sense than any photo snapped from miles away and leaked as news. They pertain to the actual story rather than any mike zeroh tabloid bullshit exploitation of it.
This is the stuff that matters I think. For now anyways

Honestly, I think the Sidious reveal is WAY more likely to connect to IX than Revan. There's zero percent chance of a Revan connection.

Not disputing that but going back to your earlier comment about Benniof and Weiss, can’t help think that this is either related to their series or Mandalorian series stuff.
I need to read these last few issues. I’m talking out of my hat until I do

Oh sure. I getcha. Definitely more likely to connect to those, especially the D&D series. I could totally see that, as I already said. Makes sense if it's a nod to that series.

The race for the crown of America’s mythology is on.
I’d pick Star Wars as it’s a sleeper cinematically, albeit an important one that started early, disappeared, then came back. And back again. But let’s see how Marvel do. They’re in the race longer. (Culturally and globally) They’ve a far broader and diverse universe, but do they have the legs?
It’s just occurred to me that both franchises, on screen at least, are winding up this coming year.
That’s kinda mind blowing.

Neither are winding up. There’s already many movies from both franchises planned for after this year.

The latest Vader series absolutely is worth it. Every single one.
Go for it. Seems to be unanimous both here and on all the pods I listen to that it’s the best comic run they’ve done

You couldn’t do the whole series in an hour or two.
Brilliant storytelling and art. Brought whole new dimensions to Vader too.

VG. You need to watch this. 15 minute fan film. It’s being lauded both sides of the fandom as the best fan film ever made. All about Vader. Over 3 million views in just a couple of weeks too. And it cost a fortune to make. Around 100,000 I heard. First in a series
