It's a show about how Darth Vader falls in love again with pod racing, but the emperor doesn't allow him to compete, so he competes as a costumed racer called Racer X.
This sounds like something that would be outsourced to an anime studio and it would have a really bad sounding official synopsis but it would turn out to be better than it has any right to be
look in the last ten minutes i've dreamed up four different ridiculous scenarios we could make Darth Vader/Anakin slashfics out of i don't care which we do as long as the monkey is named Glup Shitto.
with his [i can't think of the right word for a space alien doing this but if they were human they'd be a] manservant Glup Shitto. More than a butler or valet. Makin' the milk bluer with the force.
He's the main character of the saga, but the only times he's the main character of an installment are certain Clone Wars episodes and Revenge of the Sith. And in ROTS he shares the leading role with Obi-Wan.

Anakin: pod racer X

Edit: He has a monkey.

I was a bit skeptical until the edit. I'm in. Give this man 80 million dollars.

I might be willing to support this project as long as he hates sand people even more than in the prequels

The sand people stopped participating when a new guy "Racer V" went off the tracks killing them all. It took weeks to clean up.
Its a shame Racer V disappeared before Racer X appeared, their races would have been legendary.

Let's add "extreme" to the title then: Anakin: Extreme Pod Racer X

I was going to suggest Darth Vader in purgatory pod-racing all the children he killed into heaven.

I want a spinoff but where it’s just shot after shot of him doing mundane stuff around his apartment.

Statement: While I know you meant a sapient meat bag all I can do is think of R2D2 in a lazily modified butler uniform.
Disgust: Or C-3PO in a Fr*nch maid uniform.

Amusement: Though Pizza the Hutt does live rent free in my head entirely due to the half life of the joke.

They're both too old now but would've loved a series about obi and anni going on clone war missions and training together.

I would watch the hell out of an episodic series that covers all of Vader's adventures in the comics/books.
