Looking at the Shadows of the Empire comic.Man, its really badly written.
"Lord Vader, go to Tatooine and conclude trade negotiations with Prince Xizor"
"Oh no, that *******?"
"Yes, that *******. Who is standing right in front of me as we talk about him, right now. So forget hunting down the rebel Alliance, its far more important you conclude a trade agreement that I could be doing myself at this very moment. Or have any bureaucrat or official do."
And Vaders speech is so off character I'm wondering if the writer even watched the Star Wars trailers, let alone a movie.
I guess to be fair these were made in, what, 1988?
Not like you can bring up clips on Youtube. What were the options back then..? See it in theaters, or buy the laserdisc or VHS? On an 80's comic book writers salary, that could prove unaffordable.
