If you're looking for that specific comic it's called Darth Vader and the Lost Command. I would really recommend it.

When searching in Comixology look under 'series' and Star Wars can be found under 'story arch' as well.

In the real world, the 501st Legion is a charity group of Star Wars cosplayers. Good folks.

Its a symbol of subservience, so people in "power" often demand it. BASICALLY Palpatine has a tiny weener.

Yea but when you can kill three Jedi Masters before the flip of a coin, it kinda makes up for it

It does, if an old man does a 720 spin from a standing start while screeching I don't care who you are, you're going to be impressed.

unless you're the guy who does a 1080 spin from a standing start while screeching.

For another torture as soon as possible, I guess.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No i think it means amount of time.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Amount is zero? By the same logic when Palpatine arranged Vader's augmentations to be both painful, encumbering and, possibly, degrading.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The amount is cut off so that the writer doesn't do a booboo by telling too many specifics to an audience that's on the hunt for mistakes.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

This. Also can be a device for character building: he doesn't care anymore?

This isn't his, but Kieron Gillen does best Vader comics

I would have thought it was from something in the current canon, as I thought in legends Vader couldn't leave his suit even for a second.

Your cropping is almost as bad as Obi-wan's in his fight with Anakin.

damn SW revisionism... did we need to see darth vader *bullied* by his companions? totally against the image we have and cherish

As was said, did you watch the literally first Star Wars movie filmed? "Somethingsomething sad devotion to that ancient religion!"-time?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Are you referring to the scene famously immediately followed by the psionic strangling of the fool? That looked fitting to me.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

In A New Hope the officers do mock Vader until he force-chokes one of them. Being a space-wizard didn't mean much to them.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I think that him being bullied by Tarkin would make sense-- not so much any of the others, even the Emperor, but Tarkin is --

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

-- power-hungry and power-blind enough to try and badmouth Lord Vader; he does a lot of cocky shit in Rogue One.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The comic is non-canon, but in the canon book Tarkin you can see that he actually has a lot of respect for Vader (and knows his identity)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This comic is non-canon, but in the canon comic Vader you see that him being badass in Episode V (as opposed to just being a lackey in IV)..

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

is actually the result of a character arc in between the movies, which reconciles the image most people have of him with how he was in IV.

"Keep me sane my love." UGH. The dark post-RotS/pre-Disney days when they ended up over-humanizing Vader.

9 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 7

The point of it is that he lost his sanity. His conflict with Jedi tradition is because of his love for Padme, and the total loss of her

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Drove him over the edge the rest of the way from where he ended up from being fooled into thinking the dark side would help.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

He spent 2 decades thinking his wife and unborn child were both dead because he failed to protect them. There is good reason to give his

Character a degree of humanity.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

His memories of all he's lost should only have one importance to him: to fuel his rage and hate so he can be as powerful as he can.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

A degree is fine. But it's like the writers back then forgot that Vader was a Sith Lord first, and a man second... 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Fun fact, the Emperor specifically had Vader's gear made to be painful, as it would strengthen his connection to the Darkside.

9 years ago | Likes 505 Dislikes 6

I had read that his equipment was imperfect since it was so rushed and wasn't as streamlined as it should have been

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That is both fun and factual

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought it was made so he would always be weaker then the Emperor but Darth Vader turned his pain into strength

He Anderson it that way as a punishment for failing on mustafar. The strengthening of his connection to the darkside was a side bonus.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That stuff's mostly non-canon nowadays though. If you read the Vader comic you see that Sidious actually wants Vader to be ambitious

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's what I was saying. This was written back in 2011. Meaning it's not canon. For the most part in legends Vader was stuck in his suit.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

True. It's just one way the new canon depicts their relationship differently from Legends that I'm personally a fan of is all

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Nope! The suits R&D and manufacturing was outsourced to the Imperial version of Apple. You simply don't repair anything without pain.

It's more to control every aspect of Vader

And it would limit Vader's ability to overthrow the Emperor, with controls to override the mechanical parts of his suit

You'd enjoy how they played that in the most recent comic run under Marvel.

Lords of the Sith seems to hint that his suit was fairly comfortable, so it's probably not true.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Only old republic stuff is kinda canon. As in, it happened so long ago that it doesn't effect the new story arc. Thus its "legend" but

Um... Canon consist of the now eight movies, clone wars (TV and movie) rebels, and the books/comics publish since Disneys take over.

Everything else is "legends" meaning not canon.
