So I think this book will be one of the places that will deal with some threads from Tros Vader is looking into padme's death this will bring him to places were the emperor doesn't want him to be

Spoiler

Vader could accidentally stumble on to Sheev's Son / Rey's father

 

Also where he finds out

Spoiler

Sheev drained Padmes life force

 

I'm psyched for this!

Spoiler

Didn't Vader already visit the Lars Homestead in the first Vader series? Also what are the odds that some Tuskens are about to die?

 

Spoiler

I thought he visited Obi-Wan's house?

It wouldn't surprise me if the next panel was him destroying that annoying chatty droid.

 

Spoiler

They visit both in Darth Vader #7; the homestead first (and he goes inside into the courtyard too), and then Ben's home.

 

I don't know if I like how they've made Vader speak with a black speech bubble now but the rest is good so far

 

yah the black speech bubble in Star Wars #1 (Vol 3) I thought was just a flashback thing but later in the issue present day Vader was using it and now it's all over the place, so, hey, why not, it does make Vader stand out more.

 

I haven't red Batman since The New 52 but wasn't that how Batman's speech bubbles were? I seem to remember in Death of the Family or maybe Year Zero there were different colors for each character (Alfred, Red Robin, Damian Wayne, Nightwing, Batgirl and Red Hood). I don't know, maybe I'm mis-remembering.

 

their thought boxes were different colours and showed their logos but they spoke in white speech bubbles. Only Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr) and the Talons used dark speech bubbles cause they were dead.

The Only Batman currently who speaks with black speech bubbles is the batman who laughs

 

Spoiler

The Face of the Queen, Hauntingly familiar? Sabe? Her double? (I still want a Keira and Rose Byrne Handmaiden Disney+ show)

 

Sabe following up with her story threads from queen's shadow though Vader chasing her could lead to places sheev doesn't want like where Sheev Jr is

 

Sabe was in contact with Bail when Padme died. I made the presumption at the end of Queen's Shadow she was told about Leia at least (thus rectifying that none of Padme's closest friends or family knew about her children while the Lars' get Luke). Vader doesn't know about Leia as of ROTJ though.

Eerie Shadow = Queen's Shadow
I'm sticking to my theory

 

Since I don't think they're going to resurrect Padmé, I agree Sabé seems to be the most likely option. Either that, or she's a representation of his conscience.

 

The hair is going grey, there are wrinkles on her forehead. That is someone who has aged, not been resurrected

 

Good call.

Props to the artist for drawing both of Natalie Portman’s birthmarks. The cover art is missing both (but maybe that’s not actually Padme on the cover) Most depictions of Padme only have one. Her TCW model has the left birthmark but not the right. In Forces of Destiny she only has the one on the right.

It makes complete sense for Vader to think about Padme in depth again straight after Luke rejects his offer. Each of these Vader comic arcs have had an interesting emotional hook.
