hey guys and welcome to another brand new vader canon comic
today we're going to be picking up right where we left off in the last
issue and the last video that i explained and brought to life which i'll
link below for you for a short rundown basically vader has
gone to naboo to find more about padme's death we've
met up with the amidalans who were a group of
padme enthusiasts no really they were just padme's friends who
loved her as a person including sabe and a lot of her other handmaidens as vader
discarded of them and got them out of the picture for a bit he goes to her
tomb and cracks it open and in doing so has
flashbacks of padme from episode 2 on naboo
and then on mustafar cracking it open just enough so the droid can scan her
medical implant he finds one and traces it back to the
planet where it was created as sabi goes to inform the other amidalans vader
tells her to meet him on paulus masa if you don't
remember what paulus masa is it's the planet that obi-wan took padme
as she gave birth to luke and leia and then died now as he arrives you can tell
this place is completely just desolate it's been destroyed and we find
out why because the empire actually took over this place
once order 66 happened leading into where we are now which is
after the empire strikes back a former rebel base
discovered years ago and bombarded by imperial troops
i detect no surviving organic life forms ah the star port control
of course as they head to the star port they find no life forms
however the computers do still partially work as vader commands the droid to go
back to the date where padme went to polish masa which was the same day that
anakin burned up and lost obi-wan we see that an abu j type star
skiff transporting padme and two droids was flown in by the
notorious jedi ob1 kenobi as the droid says
she was injured he apparently brought her here to try to save her life
as anakin has more flashbacks of that moment on mustafar
i love you he snaps back into reality as the ahmadalins
appear igniting his lightsaber he deflects them all and has the death
troopers fire upon them from the sidelines
flanking them you see tons of old frequent ships which
is always fun to see as vader completely wipes them all out
having more flashbacks during the fight as he's killing people almost as if he's
fighting obi-wan and fueling his anger even more
this shot right here is pretty interesting because it's the very moment
that anakin no longer cease to be whole anakin skywalker it's the moment
right where he jumps over obi-wan and gets destroyed before he rolls down
the hill to burn the flames as he goes further
into the other rooms he finds a maternity ward
asking the droid what the record say he finds out that all the data cores have
been destroyed however the midwife droid that helped padme give
birth to leia and luke was still laying in the corner albeit
dead for a droid its memory banks were still working this
is the first time that vader actually sees
padme when she was giving birth and she's laying there
talking to obi-wan kenobi and the droid even narrates this for vader which
really angers him as he slices him in half
is good in him i know i know they're still
and with that vader falls back into this psychological distress
of anakin being a little boy back to where he was
before he became a jedi before he became a sith lord
and these are all things you can't do when you are in the dark side
these are all things that palpatine really doesn't want him to venture into
in his mind because he wants him to let go of anakin skywalker
to differentiate the two people now that he is darth vader
because he knows the memory of anakin is the only thing that could bring him back
to the light as it did in return of the jedi what's
ironic here is that obi-wan and yoda had a similar discussion where if you go
into the memory archives only pain will you find and that's
exactly what vader found only this time decades later traveling to course on
vader meets with his master at the former jedi temple now the
headquarters for darth sidious lord vader you have settled your
business yes master really
the sith know that fear leads to anger anger leads to hate and hate
leads to strength but you my friend have just wallowed in grief
you need to start all over again with
fear as palpatine's fingers tingle with true sith lightning
we see him shock vader as we go to the cover of the next comic
coming in october so what i think is interesting from this comic is that
vader found finally a bit of closure on what
happened with padme and that in the end in her last breath
she knew that there was still good within him
that the vader that is today is not fully in the dark side
that anakin still lingers within and one day
he will return for if she believes it even amongst her dying breath
vader will always remember that and know that there is no
true escape from anakin skywalker now of course
for sidious this is a big no-no he knows that anakin
can return if vader does not fully kill him
and use all of his pain as anger and hatred to strengthen him instead of
wallowing in grief he should use his experiences to make
him stronger not more sad to find the true answers of this and that because it
won't solve anything sidious wants him to be within the dark
side and he wants him to use all of these devastations
and problems in his life to fuel his agenda and his agenda is to have a
powerful obedient sith apprentice he doesn't care about
vader he never did he only cared about himself
and what vader could do for him so it seems that he will be punished in the
next episode and we will possibly go through some
sort of a test or trial that palpatine will have
to bestow upon vader and as we know in the issue after that coming in
november vader will actually go up against a sith
assassin who will fight on mustafar i hope you enjoyed this comic and the
explanation i'll catch you guys in the next one
until then remember the force will be with you
always
