Comics Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith #1-6: The Chosen One (6/6 Released)

Fixed.

 

If you're looking for fairness, organize a shockball tournament. Don't look for it in warfare.

 

Vader is one of my favorite characters of all time. His last series was phenomenal. I'm sorry, but this new book feels flat

- Didn't like the "Red Crystal" explanation: The one where the Sith had to synthetically engineer them because none were available was a far better explanation
- Vader's Armor is a lightning rod for Force Lightning?: By far the lamest plot twist I read in a long time! Vader got seriously messed up in ROTJ because Luke chopped his hand off and Vader's Wiring was exposed. Anakin is a genius at tech. Upgrading his armor should be a walk in the park for him!
- Anakin recently became Vader. Not to long ago, he treated clones with respect, now they're fodder? I don't mind seeing Vader go more dark, but this doesn't feel organic. One day Hero. Then a 180 now he's full villain.

 

You know, Anakin respected and admired the Jedi Order as well. They were his brothers and comrades in arms. He turned on them and slaughtered them all, down to the last youngling.

I really don't see why people think Vader killing a bunch of clones is so out of character after he cut down defenseless children, choked his pregnant wife and tried to kill his best friend. We already established in ROTS that an angry Vader loses all self control and lashes out at any targets in range. Him killing a bunch of clones to expiate some of the fury he feels at his horrible losses in ROTS makes perfect sense to me.

I love those covers. I can see the Grand Inquisitor, 7th Sister and 5th brother but there is two I don't recognize. One might be 6th Brother maybe?

 

The one with the mask besides 7th Sister is 8th Brother. The buzz saw kinda gives it away.

 

We're getting two issues in November! And the cover for issue #8 is beyond cool! I really, really, really hope they make all the inquisitors competent, because they were just plain awful in Rebels.

 

This might be because of the format of the show.

 

The planet in the first cover may be Mustafar. So excited to see Vader's castle and his butler if it was the same guy in RO or did he Force choke some of them? I mean we had the same Grand Inquisitor for 15 years so it's possible he spared them despite his anger in his early days.

 

"One of the most dangerous Jedi remaining alive…and it’s not who you’d expect."
And we already know who that is. ;-)

 

I assume that is intended to be the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother? Would it fit for it to be them considering this is supposed to take place more than 15 years before they appear in Rebels? I don't know about the Fifth Brother but the Seventh Sister didn't seem to be all that old in Rebels.

 

Amazing art for those covers. I´m surprised too to see 7th and 8th having a 15 years career in the Inquisitorius, I imagined both to be younger than the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother... this is a very intriguing revelation. I hope they don´t go with Filoni´s "maybe the 7th Sister we saw was the third there was" theory; Inquisitors as characters have enough mystery, this is a good time for them to start getting some development.

 

I hope, at least, we find out what species the Fifth Brother is. That's what I've been waiting for for a while now.

 

Coleman Kcaj. The most dangerous Jedi on the entire High Council. So powerful, he didn't have to say a single word to make his thoughts known.

 

You think it could be the same species than the 6th brother? it could be said that he matched the description...

 

Uhhh those covers are just amazing! Finally we are getting into the inquisitors, great news!

 

They're not humans, different species age differently.

 

It would be cool if they were. Personally, I think the Fifth Brother is the best new design for a Star Wars villain in a while (barely beating out the Grand Inquisitor and his Orlockian influence) so seeing more of that species is always going to be a plus for me.

 

I really like him too. He was somewhat wasted on Rebels, so it´s great to see him having a second chance in canon. Wasn´t he meant to be blind at one point of development?

 

According to his voice actor he was called the blind Inquisitor before they came up with the whole brother/sister thing.

 

What I'd like explained is why all of the Inquisitors are aliens when the Empire has an otherwise anti-alien bias.

 

My guess is that racism is simply a tool to Palpatine. He uses aliens as scapegoat. However he can still use force-sensitive aliens as a tool as long as he keeps them somewhat apart from other imperials.

 

What's odd isn't that there's alien Inquisitors, but that there don't seem to be any human Inquisitors.

 

And the Inquisitorious program seems to sit "just outside" the Empire from what we have seen in Rebels. They serve the same guy, but they are free to do their own thing. You won't see Lyste ordering around the Inquisitors. The one who seems to work with them best, Tarkin, also doesn't seem to share the anti-alien bias, at least from reading Thrawn, he didn't.
