There is so much wishful thinking going on here and people seeing only what they want to see, everything being thrown by both sides is a red herring. JML and SEE are not from the same movie, so JMK and the next GL do not have to be from the same movie. Reference to "Lord vader" are as such because that's how Vader was referenced by papa Palpi in EP3. Iconic fights in GL event unlocking are not always against the opposite GLs (SEE and JML). CG has been trying to not overlap GLs requirements and factions, so forget about another set of GR toons being required for the next GL. Lack of X toon can be interpreted as being 10 different things. People are seeing evidence where there is none because they want it to be a specific GL.
However, JMK is a fan favorite followed by Anakin, so it is likely Anakin because fans want him, not because they are dropping hints in developer insight, or because GAS wasn't a requirement. They'll make Anakin/Vader/whatever they'll call him work in whatever way because they can.
It is going to be Anakin, because the majority of players hyped themselves to Anakin being the next one the moment JMK was announced.
I agree with everything except the last idea that they will just do it because of fandom, that's not really how this works, at least not in the immediate sense. The decision for the next one is likely to have already been made, they have road maps for this kind of stuff laid out.
