Soo sorry to send your ship into a tail-spin, Havac. tongue
Two things to consider before choking somebody's wife and killing a room full of younglings:
One, it was my initial interpretaion of the image...
And two, I doubt its really a SUPER SD now that I've looked at the pic a little/alot closer.
The angle of the pic makes it look overly massive from the backside, and its not really the overhead shot.
Its more like an over the shoulder POV, if that makes sense...

Either way, I thought it was interesting that the SA wasn't holed up on some planet.

TBH, I can't recall where I ripped that pic from. Some Force Unleashed folder, somewhere where the language wasn't English. laugh The original pic was HUGE, that I do remember!

Yeah, the picture's great, but... why would it be cool to fight Sidious?

Scenario 1) You're brutally destroyed.
Scenario 2) Canon is thrown out the window and you win.

Neither are cool! angry tongue

Well, actually, I think the first one is... but I'm trying to come at this from a less anti-SA perspective.

This is an imaginary story... aren't they all supposed to fit together, though?
An animated cartoon about Obi-Wan and Padawan Anakin would have made more sense.

If that happened I might actually consider buying this game.

Or any ending where Vader and/or the Emperor go "Yeah, you think you're powerful? Think again."

That may be true. Maybe if they hit him head-on with a plex missile and he comes charging out of the explosion to cut them all down...and -then- the SA fights and beats a severely wounded/damaged Vader (albeit by the skin of his teeth) I could buy it. That'd still leave Vader badass while allowing him to be defeated.

Indeed.

Currently I'm taking solace in the fact that Vader doesn't look like he's been "battle damaged" by a lightsaber.

Hm, I brought this up earlier but it was considered insignificant, but in light of this new information it could be interesting: battle damaged Vader is included in the Lego set for the SA's ship. I still think it's possible that the SA and Juno eclipse actually save Vader...

Let it be made clear that you can like TFU so far and still want the SA to be killed at the end...

The intro to the graphic Novel is your standard SSD overhead shot.
I'd post pics but I think thats still a no-no.

The SA comes across as a screaming brat, two seconds after leaving Vader's side.
And major spoiler: Kota gets *killed by getting chucked-out of a window to complete your first mission at the TIE construction facility at Nar Shadar. Me personally, I don't buy that Kota's dead... but maybe they are taking the Force-ghost-mentor route. raised_brow


Where did you find this? Does Dark Horse have a preview up?

I was flicking through a PlayStation magazine and it had an 8 page preview of the graphic novel...seems that PROXY isn't all together a fan of Vader knighting Rhett Apprentice.

Rhett? Do we have a name?

Sorry bout that.

But yeah, that Star Destroyer in the preview looks just like the Executor. Same design, anyway. What I mean is, if you took that panel out and bunged it in a Rebellion era comic, people would cluck and say "Ah, Executor."

Just what we need, something to cause more SSD debates/arguments/raging Wookiee-like rampages throughout Lit.
