hey guys how are you today so whether it's crushing rebel scum slaughtering
Jedi or murdering children even Vader carries out the orders of his master
ruthlessly and efficiently why because Sidious is Vader's path to
power having lost everything and everyone that ever mattered to him as
Anakin Skywalker the cybernetics it has nothing left to fear he is a master of
the force and an absurdly powerful warrior with no one in the galaxy to
equal him he is not afraid of personal harm or injury for he doesn't fear death
he may even welcome it to many he is death an unstoppable killing machine
that yields to no one and can bring entire star systems to heal so for a
creature like him what order could the Emperor possibly give him that would
prove the most difficult to obey and to all appearances even violate the Sith
doctrine well when in the issue I'm covering today which is from Star Wars
age rebellion Darth Vader number one Sidious commands Vader to bend the knee
not before him but to a middle management bureaucrat his dark side
apprentice is furious why would his master ask a Sith Lord to humble himself
like that the Sith do not humble especially not Vader so let's find out
if there might be a little more to this our story opens up on the mid rim world
of names or where the Empire is in full conquer mode under the command of
governor are an imperial star destroyer unleashes a squadron of fighters against
insurgents fighting on the planet's surface but before the governor can
order their bombing he's informed that they have bunkered themselves directly
over stores of Ko axiom which is a rare and highly explosive type of hyper fuel
mind on Kessel and the prize the governor is there for he quickly orders
his fighters to pull back as he doesn't wish to destroy the hyper fuel the
fighters disengage except one Vader the Dark Lord continues blasting the
freedom fighters below ignoring the governor's orders for him to stop and
then frack oom the insurgents along with the governor's prize go up in flames as
Vader annihilates their bunker outraged over Vader's disregard of him the
governor contacts the Emperor and complains about what Vader just did he
disobeyed his orders destroyed the prize governor was charged with securing Bator
simply explains that the insurgents were planning an escape he put a stop to it
Sidious asks then if Bader was aware of the governor's orders now I should point
out this takes place before Episode four in the earlier days of the Empire so
Vader is now Mele fully committed to the emperor but also knew enough in his role
as a Sith that he is still subjected to specific tests of will by his master
Vader doesn't answer the question so the Emperor goes on to apprise him that as
his apprentice in cities his absence none outrank him however for all his
skills he is no bureaucrat but the governor is not realizing that the
Emperor just mocked him the governor is honored to be called a
bureaucrat to Sidious is minute continuing to address his apprentice the
Sith Lord asks if Vader knows his master's will Vader answers by kneeling
before his hologram form cities then lets him know that when he obeys the
governor he is serving his will Vader's mind flashes in rage to himself as a
young slave on Tatooine being chastised by Watteau too when the Jedi Council
refused to make him a master then to himself burning up in front of obi-wan
on Mustafar and finally to win' Sidious used force lightning on him right after
he woke in his new dark armored form his master can fuel Vader's rage he knows he
hates it every time he kneels even before him which he finds pleasing
however the governor knows the sector of the galaxy they are in with his
knowledge it will be subdued much quicker so it is cities his will that
Vader will obey the governor's every order to the letter until he has learned
his lesson and so it goes heading to the mid rim world of on cron terraeum a
planet devastated and overrun by killer droids that have run wild for decades
the Imperial Patrol the governor sends in as quickly overwhelmed these droids
have rebuilt themselves to become a thousand times deadlier than any
security droids to send anyone down to try and rescue the patrol his suicide
which is exactly why the governor decides to send Vader who of course the
droids are no match for when he returns to the Star Destroyer he ignites his
crimson blade in front of the governor but before he lifts his temper get the
better of him he heeds his master's words and extinguishes the saber a bit
later on on the moon fells a fam Vader and his stormtroopers are in the midst
of with another group of fighters only
within an hour of total victory but in orbit above on his Star Destroyer the
governor orders the troops to retreat all that is except for Vader it's now
the Dark Lord alone against an army after their defeat Vader returns to the
Star Destroyer much to the governor's disappointment frustrated with Vader's
incredible ability to survive the governor decides to take the destroyer
to the Ken Keller belt containment zone despite protests from his subordinate it
is Imperial policy not to disturb that section of space
the governor is aware but doesn't care once they arrive in the zone he
specifically commands Vader to enter the asteroid belt and destroy the greatest
threat you find we soon find out that the zone is restricted on a large broken
asteroid chunk is a gigantic crab-like monstrosity that immediately goes to
attack the Sith Lords fighter but instead of engaging the creature Vader
turns around and head back to the Star Destroyer much to the governor's outrage
overcomes the governor demands Vader killed that thing as he ordered him to
but that wasn't the order he gave Vader tells him back no the governor
specifically told Vader to destroy the greatest threat he found that threat
being the governor himself so Vader heads for the bridge but the governor
adamantly reminds him that the Emperor told Vader to obey Him to the letter and
commands him to kneel Vader hesitates but then kneels preventing him from
being grabbed by the gigantic claw of the creature that just that second
smashes through the bridge of the Star Destroyer and clutches up the governor
pulling him in several of his crew out into the dark depths of space far away
on course and the Emperor senses Vader's victory and lets out his infamous cackle
Vader has learned an important lesson about being a team player and not always
just a blunt instrument in dealing with the opposition and with that lesson
learned Vader stands triumphant as the rest of
the Star Destroyers surviving crew all kneel before him so what do you guys
think Vader had to learn how to bend the knee at some point to ultimately grow
more powerful interesting that planet overrun with killer droids was kind of
cool too I wonder if we'll ever see more of those or get details on how that
happened also the giant space slug from The Empire Strikes Back the weird space
whales Ezra was in
munication within rebels and now this space crab I wonder how many other
creatures can live in the vacuum of space and what could they possibly look
like anyway leave me your thoughts down below I know I usually bring these
comics to life but I also like covering them like this too sometimes so let me
know which one you prefer have a nice day everyone I'll see you in the next
video until then remember the force will be with you always
