hey guys and welcome to the second installment to the Darth Vader comics
that have just come out this is the second series I guess we could call it
as the first one was taking place closer to Revenge of the Sith and you know
obviously way before a new hope but this one is of course between episodes four
and five so we're gonna pick up right from the last episode and if you haven't
seen that one I'm gonna link it down below in the description so be sure to
check it out so you're all cut up now this one is pretty interesting
because we get to see that Vader among all things is obsessed with Padme and
who does he come across well what he thinks is Padme at least for this moment
however a horse we're going to realize that is actually sabe who was her decoy
from the Phantom Menace this goes all the way back which is pretty cool so we
start the first page of the comic with basically just the same scene from
attack of the clones when they were about to go into the genovian arena at
the hands of Count Dooku and the separatists to die the John Williams
music starts to flare and she says I've been dying a little bit each day since
you came back into my life I love you and of course Anakin says you love me I
thought we decided not to fall in love that we would be forced to live a lie
that it would destroy our lives I think our lives are about to be destroyed
anyway so Vader snaps out of it and sees before him what looks to be a very
convincing clone of Padme she says what did you call me she seems
to be the same age senator Amidala would be if she were still alive
superficial scans reveal a similar bone structure she even wears Naboo style
field dear who are you she asks why this is Darth Vader the Emperor's and as soon
as he says that while the jig is up and her and her Droid start firing
just controls immediately that was a mistake
tossing her weapon aside he presses the question
you said it yourself I'm Padme Amidala where Vader starts to recollect his
memories in a queen senator daughter of Naboo back from the
dead to haunt you to your grave and then this is where we get a really rhythmic
scene with Revenge of the Sith as he starts to choke sabe
where are we see parallels between here and when he was choking patentee he
throws her to the ground pretty much she collapses after being choked
just like Padme did and runs away as he slowed down by the fauna the wind acts
and landscapes wipes mouth easily no problem these are some pretty sick
visuals I mean he's just like cuts right across their head
he follows after sabe and finally finds her when she opens the gate to where all
the fauna will come through eventually and the whole thing is basically just
it's pretty poetic and I know I say that a lot but it really is because it's to
him just reliving these moments between the present and the past who he was
before and who he is now Toby don't be afraid I'm not afraid and then if we
remember Padme says I'm not afraid to die and sabe says I'm angry
Jaime is dead but you were her face speak with a voice you're the queen
shadow a handmaiden from now of course let me just watch nothing's went into
real databank yes where of course the Droid says that she's savvy the Queen's
double just a shade taller than Padma and slightly more pronounced jaw and the
point one five percent deeper voice even after adjusting for age now Vader
reveals that years ago encore son to Sabbah actually broke into pad maid's
quarters and she wanted to find out what happened to her he pushes the question
what did she learn and this is interesting because we now finally see
what the outsiders really saw of what happened to Pat man
you know of course we know that Anakin kind of choked her to death and there's
a theory out there that help the team stole her life essence and gave it to
Anakin so that he could rise as Darth Vader I don't know if I buy into that
theory but it's an interesting one nonetheless
but that being said we know that sign however the other side were just about
to learn Padme fell and the Emperor ascended he
killed her didn't he now Vader says before Padme died she was stolen away
whoever hit her betrayed the Empire savvier says you know it really doesn't
make any sense she stood with the Jedi not the Empire and Vader is so convinced
that had she survived and she would have stood with the Empire meaning stood with
him Vader tries to turn her to his side to say that they both fight for the same
cause to avenge Padme to find out who hid her this entire time from the Empire
you serve Padme you want revenge as well together we can find them and of course
once again we get another rhythmic scene with here and attack of the clones where
Vader and sabe team up to fight the fauna which really
reminds us of Anakin Padme in the genovian arena you know she fights the
neck sue & sabe here fights this creature beast now when Vader says come
you basically do what he says but in this case just like Padme she's
hard-headed and she just does what she wants like a true leader she says no we
first have to bury the dead here Vader allows it and the Droid does the work
they were good soldiers who walked with me at Pat man's funeral and we see the
death troopers and Vader lives and I'm listening from afar and they will be
mourned not like you lord Vader and not like me now come so you can serve your
Emperor and I can have my avenged oh she's giving me orders now
we knew we didn't have the full story of her death so yes after the funeral we
went to coarsened and we broke into padme's corners and I stole the
Chamber's security recordings I thought there must be some clue there some hint
to who really killed her but I was never able to decrypt them but then the Empire
showed its true colors and our strength was required elsewhere so until we had
the resources to take up the search again we hid the recordings on Naboo and
then here we get a flip of what's Padme and Anakin were talking about and Bader
and sabe and here you know just don't be afraid
and then Vader's thoughts I'm not afraid and so the next issue is gonna be them
going to Naboo where they're going to find mace windu and go to her - no I'm
just kidding no they're gonna go to Naboo and they're going to find her tomb
it looks like from this photo a lot of correlation with Vader episode 2
possibly I don't know maybe mace windu will show up who knows really but that's
it for this episode this comic issue I'm really excited to see where it lands in
the next one I'm wondering you know who could we find on Naboo what could we
learn on Naboo with these hidden recordings and once
Vader actually finds them you know what's he going to learn what what did
he what did we not see from order 66 that could possibly be in there or from
Padme it's archives or you know or the recording is in general maybe there are
things that we don't know and we're just about to find out maybe things that
Vader has to keep quiet well hope you guys enjoyed this one and I'll catch you
in the next episode until then remember the force will be with you always
Oh
