I also find the art terribly bland and ugly. Created by writer Kieron Gillen, artist Salvador Larroca, and editors Jordan D. It's ridiculous.Īnd then there's the bits which quite blatantly only exist to connect the dots between the the OT and the ST, because God forbid something be left to the fans to imagine how it worked, or anyone, anywhere, ever, be a mystery and not completely explained and demystified to the point of becoming excruciatingly boring and mundane. Like several of the characters on this list, he was originally created by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca for the Darth Vader comic. As Vader pursues a very personal vengeance against the Rebels and investigates the Emperor's secret machinations, he clashes with weapons scavenger Aphra and deadly Battle Droids, and returns to Geonosis to build an army.

So you just get stuff like this where it's shoehorned into little niches in canon where the writers think they can add explanations nobody needed or wanted for how X or Y happened, or how there was actually Z events behind it the whole time.

You can't develop Vader, or Palpatine, Or Luke or Leia or anyone anyone cares about, because they have to remain as we know they'll be.Īnd characters made for this, they'll probably be killed or forgotten so there's no point investing in them, not to mention, we already know they don't get to do anything useful for the bigger story because it's all about Luke, Leia, Vader, Han, etc.
