Darth Vader - Comic Book Thread

At this point I think the main purpose of the series is to show us the fates of the Jedi who survived the Purge -- that has been its central theme since day one. /shrug

What I do like about this series are the little tidbits that have been sprinkled here and there. ie. how Vader created his kyber crystal and lightsaber, how the Inquisitorius was formed, the numerous former Jedi that are part of the Inquisitorius, Luke finding Jocasta's Jedi archives in the future, lists of surviving Jedi, etc.

Thrawn was a far better tactician than Tarkin.

Tarkin outranked Thrawn, however, for a few simple reasons:
a.) Palpatine had known Tarkin a LOT longer(they first met well before the events of TPM), and was responsible for fashioning him into the military/political figurehead he eventually became... Wilhuff was always in Palpatine's favor.
b.) Tarkin was already a Grand Moff when Thrawn first joined the Empire.

did tarkin have more knowledge of ships or weaponry or something because that is what he focuses in.

my opinion of course.

Tarkin was a better politician, though. Thrawn never cared enough to try and be 'politically astute' -- he was a warrior.

It wasn't a formal 'law', no. It was more of a generalized prejudice against non-humans that stemmed from Separatist alien factions during the Clone Wars.

Very doubtful, as Thrawn's knowledge of ships/weaponry also includes that which lies in the Unknown Regions.

*When Vader sensed 'weakness' from those Inquisitors, he destroyed them in rapid succession... But what I am looking forward to most is Vader establishing his throne on Mustafar -- I'm interested to see more of his castle. 👆

Did he have a castle?!

Um, yes? It was prominently featured in Rogue One:

More Vader goodness from Doctor Aphra #23:

oh that, i seem to remember i wouldnt call that a castle, but you know... what is this thread even about?

So do you just post random shit in every thread without having a clue what the thread is actually about? FFS. The scans are from the newest darth Vader issue. Galan was kind enough to post them here. The end.

On topic- supposedly upcoming issues are supposed to explore the inner workings of Vader's castle and by the looks of this comic we should be seeing that really soon. i agree it will be awesome. cant wait. 😄

First time I was half interested in the Inquistos and what they did. I’m also looking forward to Vader on Mustafar as well

Alright I can give some points, the Inquisitors weren't completely stupid this time around...or just boring. Still not into their whole setup, but small credit where small credit is due for this issue.

And by the sounds of upcoming solicits, Vader's castle will be modeled after the designs of Lord Momin(an ancient Sith sculptor):

"FORTRESS VADER Part 4"

*The Tale of LORD MOMIN!
*Plans are drawn...
*A foundation is laid...
*And darkness rises on MUSTAFAR!

"FORTRESS VADER" - PART 5"

*Darkness rises above MUSTAFAR as the brutal designs of LORD MOMIN begin to take shape.
*But the planet's inhabitants cannot take this desecration lightly, and shape plans of their own.

...Which isn't a huge surprise, given that Lord Momin was first mentioned in the Lando series(also written by Soule):

Damn, these Vader comics are good.

The real reason Vader killed the inquisitors is because they were bumping uglies. Jealous, no pussy getting mother****er! 😂

Instead of making a different thread anytime a new Vader comic/series is released, I thought it might be best to make a single thread that can act as a compendium of sorts for ALL Vader-related issues.

So please, feel free to post any noteworthy information/scans pertaining to the canon Vader comic books here.
