Frying his circuitry? Wouldn't be a good thing.

I don't particularly like the artwork either, but this series has introduced quite a few unique concepts, if nothing else... /shrug

I'm pretty surprised that everyone's been liking this comic series, tbh. The art is garbage and they're the exact same stories we've gotten in every single Darth Vader comic ever.> New Jedi magically survives Order 66.

I haven't liked it... This is the first arc that has been interesting.
Originally posted by cdtmThe first series was definitely better as a whole, and the artwork was infinitely superior.
It's been nowhere near as interesting as the old seasoned pro, the mad scientist, or the thief and her psychotic mirror universe R2-D2 and C3PO.But I still liked seeing Tarkin and Vader hunt each other. How many Imperial lived wasted, so Vader could be satisfied in his little game?
That said, this series did quite a bit of world-building for new canon, and for that I am grateful. Soule took a big risk on some of these concepts, and I'd say they paid off for the most part.
Originally posted by Total WarriorNo, definitely not.
Also, do you think Vader would have come back to the light side had he been able to resurrect Padme?
Just a few bits of clarification from Soule... Stuff most of us already knew, but it's always nice to have definitive answers from the man himself:

*It should come as no surprise, but Soule is ignoring all questions pertaining to Palpatine's role in Anakin's creation, lol.
^ Well theyre gonna have to address that st some point.
And im curious, did Palpatine specifically choose Shmi, or did he just do a random ritual which resulted in Shmi being up the duff?
In Legends/Plagueis it was obviously the latter. But the vision in this shows his hand over Shmis womb.
Either way I dont like Luke being the Grandson of Evil. Or even Anakin being the son of evil tbh.
Originally posted by Darth ThorPalpatine likely preformed some sort of esoteric/experimentory ritual, and the force just chose who it chose. I highly doubt he specifically targeted Shmi as the 'vessel' of said ritual, otherwise he almost certainly would have taken Anakin long before the events of TPM.

I'd guess the artwork in this comic makes it look a bit more 'purposeful' because they only had a single page(a mere three panels), with very little dialogue, in which to introduce the concept that Papatine created Anakin... And this was one of the best and most blatant ways to depict such:

Figured this may as well go here...
Comic book writer Kieron Gillen(the guy who wrote the first Vader series, created the character Doctor Aphra, and has done great things with his current run on the Star Wars series) recently announced in his newsletter that Star Wars #67 will be his final issue:
As of now, it's unknown if Disney/Marvel will continue the series beyond that.
