I saw some folks talking about wanting to see a take on Vader returning to the light early on... it made me think of this comic... I took a few screenshots. If you want to see the whole thing, be sure to buy a copy! The whole series is fantastic.

NGL, a Sith with a blue or green saber would be pretty scary. Don't dominate and corrupt the Kyber; force it to kill while it is still pure.

He chose cowardice, blind ignorance, fear and hatred. So a dedicated Trump voter.

Any idea when they're releasing comics again?
sociallyadeptgeek
They are now: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-2020-ebook/dp/B081NTDFNF
ThePerks2010
I meant weekly releases that's been out for a while now, they never date them right.

I kinda expected an MCU crossover where Vision showed up.
LurkerBee
That took me a second.
TheFastpaws
It looks cool in practice but in overall lore the bleeding idea is awful.
philosoraptor1000
I agree. It was an unnecessary change. Using Sith alchemy to create synthetic kybers was a good, simple explanation. Why change it?!
Nukemouse
pls dont post disney era stuff come on theres tons of stuff in the real canon that isnt "corrupting" lightsaber crystals
TallGuyWithAHoodie
I love that in his vision, nearly every panel focuses on his left with the broken eye-panel, on the man behind the mask.
TallGuyWithAHoodie
...while after the vision, nearly every panel on his right with the intact eye-panel. The mask alone.
IronCore
Vader with a green saber looks so strange to me.
IronCore
And it's hilarious that Tarkin thinks that the Emperor's safety would be in any way affected by Tarkin's presence or lack thereof.

People give the KOTOR mmo so much shit but where am I supposed to get my starwars fix
Chikun31
The "original" bits before the expansions is awesome.
Chikun31
After the original stuff they decided it would be cheaper to homogenize all of the class stories into one and it made it a nonsensical mess.
FirstAidPoetry
Are you talking about SWTOR instead of KOTOR?

Yep, that was my inspiration to post this set.

You just had to make me cry didn't you?!?!? ;_;

Damn that’s good.

Can someone help me understand who he fought first? Was that a dream?
Dthblayde
The "vision" was him turning back to the light and striking the emperor down. He refused it and stayed the course of the darkside.
ThatWelshIdiot
A force vision, shown to him by the kyber crystal, trying to get him to turn back to the light.
Giantmutantcrab
This is what happens when those who choose blind ignorance, anger and fear press on. They destroy everything they touch.
Fastjack2056
Man, that is a *great* bit of worldbuilding for the red sabers. I think previously it was just the mustafar version of the khyber crystal?
PatrickDiomedes
pre-disney, sith used synthetic crystals which were always red
sociallyadeptgeek
The first five books are amazing. The emperor says all Sith blades are taken from Jedi and then corrupted by the dark side, hence the red.
Einstein9073
Hmm. This is a bit of a retcon, I think. Used to be that Sith had red sabers because they had to make and use artificial kyber crystals.
Fastjack2056
It also suggests there could be real meaning behind the other blade colors as well. I'd love to think they were deliberate & personal.
AngrySpaceStarfish
They are, each color has a meaning and depending on your role in the jedi it determines what color you get.
Fastjack2056
I must be thinking of KOTOR where it was just a trait of the crystal you used.
BhawbTheMagnificent
Color was retconned many times. Current canon is they are based on Jedi role. Sith kill a Jedi, take the lightsaber and corrupt it red.
tarataqa
So it's ok to just post full comicbooks now??
Rifneno
If 13 pages is the full comic, it deserves to be free.
CanConfirmAmCanadian
Lmao
sociallyadeptgeek
I didn’t post the whole thing, just the panels relevant to my point... I wasn’t sure if I was posting too much, but I cropped quite a bit.
tarataqa
Lol, you don't have to justify your copyright infringement to me. I'm not Marvel or whomever you stole this from.
sociallyadeptgeek
Fastjack2056
Lots of folks have been banned for it, so no. Some people would argue it's good advertising, tho...I know I want to read this book now.
sociallyadeptgeek
Like I said, the entire series is amazing. Takes place immediately after his “noooooooo!” moment.
tarataqa
It appears the downvoters prefer free comicbooks to supporting the writer, artist, etc.
Fastjack2056
I couldn't say...I'm not a cop.
noneweregiven
It's a portion of one comic book in a series, with a link to where you can purchase it. I never would have known this was a thing I'd want/1
noneweregiven
Without posts like this. Is it copyright infringement? Yeah. Will a few more people buy it because of things like this? Also yes.
sociallyadeptgeek
Careful, you’re being reasonable.
GeneralNuclear
Then he chosen blind ignorance instead.
darkhalfbreed
He chosen, this is a prequel and can't deviate from cannon
TiroDvD
Thing about a Tragic Flaw is that it is very simple and easily avoidable.
sociallyadeptgeek
You have to remember too: this is days after he lost Padme. He’s convinced he can bring her back through the Dark Side.
GeneralNuclear
GeneralNuclear
Even though it was obviously a lie by palpatine since the dark side brings death and destruction, and not life, that is some deep writing.
sociallyadeptgeek
The rest of the series touches on this A LOT

BhawbTheMagnificent
Read the series if you haven't, its amazing in fleshing out the time between Mustafaar and Vader in Ep4. Goes into all that and much more.
liftmoar
He chose the only thing he knows. Cowardice and fear.
AngrySpaceStarfish
The fear part yes, that is one thing sith draw on but Vader isnt really a coward.
liftmoar
He's scared of the damage to his ego, or being wrong, of being the cause of his own suffering. He won't face that. Physical danger isn't a
liftmoar
Issue, and really hasn't been one, meaning his battle feild or sense of normalcy, of what is a threat, is drastically different.
liftmoar
My two cents though. Bravery imo is based on doing stuff that is beyond a baseline. Tales of bravery otoh...
Dagordae
He's too far in, the sunken cost fallacy on a grand scale. If he turns back now everything he did was for nothing and all that suffering
Dagordae
and death was just a bloody farce. He's so far gone into self loathing and hatred that he follows Palpatine just so he doesn't have to face
Dagordae
what he's done, willingly turning himself into just a puppet. The new comics did a really good job at fleshing out his personality.
GeneralNuclear
It was for nothing anyway, and digging yourself deeper helped no one else but palpatine.
AGuyThatPoops
Well done kind sir /madam. Well done!
