    I confess, I found the issue a bit confusing. Vader is just a flat out necromancer now?

    To be frank, I don't know if anything insiders or the story group says can be taken at face value anymore. I think individual writers and directors have more control over the lore than they do at this point, and the insiders/story group is forced to wing it when the writers/directors throw out a curveball to the believed canon.

    The Grand Inquisitor clearly isn’t a force ghost (he’s not blue and see-through), and that’s all Matt Martin was saying, so I don’t see why we can’t take him at face value.

    he said it's not the same thing as what previous Sith have achieved. IE nothing specific. Nobody said anything about force ghosts. What I meant to say is the only true interpretation of what we saw in the comic is from the author.

    And we don't know what Soule's interpretation is, nor do we likely have the full story yet. Matt isn't going to tell us exactly what the answer is when the story's not done. That doesn't equate to "we should never trust insiders or the Story Group ever again".

    Personally, I'm always a sucker for any emphasis placed on Vader as an evil sorcerer. I eat that **** up. Totally on board with this development.

    you are spinning what I say out of context. I'm saying, when a Matt Martin chimes in on something rather than wait for the author to explain things in a future issue, then we should take what Matt Martin says for what its worth: nothing. He can just say wait and see and everyone would accept that answer. Here he flat out rejects a theory rather than let the harmless speculation continue.

    It's not really a theory, though, because Momin and the GI aren't Force ghosts. That's obvious, and there's no need to wait for the writer to clarify when Matt himself worked on the comic (he's credited). His perspective on it isn't worth nothing, considering he'll know more about it than any of us.

    But "his opinion's worth nothing" doesn't fit with "he can reject theories". It's one or the other.

    I'm grateful it wasn't yet another overt reference to the High Republic by namedroping the "High Republic", because by the Light fellas, while I'm sure the High Republic was a great era of High adventure in the old Republic I'm starting to roll my eyes whenever I hear someone from the OT era bring up the High Republic.

    (Though I do get that it's probably mandated from on, uh, high.)

    I dunno, most of the references have been by Soule and Scott, both of whom are High Republicans, so it seems like it's them throwing the references in to their own work.

    But yes, this one was slightly less of the blunt-spade-to-the-face than the others.

    It is weird how Tarkin always looks old, in the comics.

    Even the comic right after ROST he looks 10-20 years older while he looks 40's in TCW.

    They always draw Tarkin like he looks in ANH, no matter how old he's supposed to be.

    They sure are doubling down on the Daala similarities with Zahra in this issue.

    Tarkin mentions the Nihil on the last page of the preview.
