Not sure how I feel about this one. Most of the story was okay, but [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Vader needing a reason to murder Fox was just excessive.

Ah the comics are exposing Vader as the manchild he is; no better than General Hux. He kills Fox for apparently no reason other than a minor communication error—courtesy of Anakin's autistic-level social skills—and then is tricked into doing as Nu wishes by a taunt, destroying an invaluable resource of information in the process. If only Sidious knew. Way to go Ani, you pathetic excuse of a sith.

Yeah, the whole taunt was pretty stupid. The Chosen One shouldn't be concerned by a half dozen random force sensitives. Vader should've sent the chip to Palpatine and tell him to train those kids as best as possible, so he can chop some limbs in the future.

Pay the comics no mind. It's practically another continuity altogether. It's just a plot to sell merchandise. The films and the directors don't care nor should they about this nonsense.

You can pay attention to whatever you wish I'm just saying these don't really apply to the film and action series continuity. It's a ploy to sell more merchandise. This will only get more ridiculous as the stories mount. Tried the same nonsense with the Trek Kelvin comics. I was just trying to say don't be a sucker. Don't pay these comics with any serious weight overall with the mythos.
Yw.

It's not applying to the films or the mythos because why? It's all intertwined within one whole universe. There might be discrepancies sure, but nothing is ever perfect.

The directors and the pitches for the films don't take into account the silliness from the comics. Trek used to say their comic tie ins were official as well until Bob Orci goofed and admitted only the live action series and films were canon. This is just a ploy to sell comics and these stories aren't meant to be taken seriously or even add up to the films and live action series IMO. the comic feats tend to be insane and from an entirely different continuity in comparison with movie feats.
Any intelligent marketer understands if they slap the word canon on the Star Wars stuff it'll get the fanboys out there to blow their wads buying all of it.

I don't need to look outside the films and live action series to do so. Just look to Rogue One and just laugh out loud that the burn victim couldn't get the plans from screaming untrained wimps who pretend they are men. Comics are just to sell merchandise.

If you choose to pay attention to this nonsense the directors don't care about it and buy into them selling merchandise that's your deal. Directors don't have to because they dont matter. You can buy what they tell you but it's like trusting a car salesman.
It's the same as with Trek. Don't buy everything you hear try to be a little less naive.
as far as this issue is concerned I think that im one of the few that actually liked and understood Vaders actions; remember him killing Fox is just the first in a long line of death-by-chokes that hes done to those who failed him; how is this any different from killing Ozzel for the small infraction of coming out of light speed too early??
And destroying the information on Force sensitives is exactly what young, freshly minted Vader would do... hes just lost his wife and Palpatine is the only person hes got left; he may be getting better at living in his suit physically but hes still got deep deep mental and emotional scars and having to deal with competition at this point in his life would probably too much for him to take so he did what he had to to secure his position; im sure he remembers what happened to Dooku after all....
