Darth Vader - Comic Book Thread

Is issue 6 released today?

I think tomorrow or in 2 days

It comes out today.

We already know Palps will rape Vader though.

Yeah, Vader beat the red guards pretty decisively, then Palpatine chocked Vader out, destroyed all his limbs but his right hand, left him to burn on the same lava bank where he found Anakin, and instructed him to rebuild himself without the Force.

Issue #6 (1/2):

Issue #6 (2/2):

And yeah, the "Sith Assassin" is indeed Ochi:

Not gonna lie but Ochi's outfit is...really just...dumb looking.

Looks like a shitty Ninth Assassin cosplay outfit.

Well it was a stomp

Absolutely one-sided, casual ownage.

ESB-era Palpatine is a monster.

Is it also indirect hype for Luke, since he should be >=RotJ Sid in power at least?

But according to Jedi Vs Sith, Vader and Luke were equals in ROTJ. So Palpatine should be > Vader&Luke imo

Think he means ST Luke.

Pathetic STID Khan still dominates Palpatine

Do you guys think Vader was at full power here or weakened?

Do you think he'll emerge from this stronger than ever?

He was weakened due to his unstable mental condition. As Palaptine himself stated
https://ibb.co/txx2ng1
I doubt he would emerge from this since during ROTJ Vader was still conflicted per SW's official website

I mean, we know that Vader redeems himself enough to be Palpatine's right hand man again by the time of RotJ.

So even though he obviously never fully let go of some of those feelings, he either buried them really deep(to the point where Palpatine no longer sensed any conflict), and/or turned them into emotions that could be used to fuel his own power.

I would say it's better to wait for this comic run to end. Only then we would know for sure where he stands in ROTJ.

Galan do you think the current gap between Vader and Palpatine is larger than it was in the old eu, where he had 80% of Sidious’ power?

It’s interesting that when Vader saves Luke he’s able to handle more powerful force lightning than he does here and keep walking, even though he was exhausted from fighting Luke.

And now that I think about it his hand was missing and the wires and circuitry were exposed which should have made the damage from sidious’ lightning even worse, considering it was the sole reason Vader never used force lightning.
If Vader’s hand wasn’t cut off I wonder if he could have survived RoTJ
