Darth Vader #6

[superboyprime]

"The problem with the Empire is that by definition and design it's faceless. There's the Stormtrooper uniform and that kind of fascistic grip of it all, and that means there's a lot of dudes that aren’t necessarily interesting to read about. [Laughs] One of those dudes is quite cool, but not as everyone in your cast. One of the joys of this book though is that we can bring in sketchier characters. You get those bounty hunter guys, and you get people who are just as ethically questionable and evil, but can act in a different way." - Kieron Gillen

That would be a lot more powerful if we knew what "Vader" means in the Star-Wars-verse.

Invader, conqueror.

Honestly.. I want to see more of the twins and Tulon. Put them together in a team. Seriously I don't remember ever really seeing a mad scientist type of character in Star Wars prior so that has me interested.

I really loved this issue, Gillen's team of Tech-Sith "hybrids" really felt like something new to Star Wars, which doesn't happen too often.

Winning duels throughout your life doesn't prove ultimate strength, Palpatine. But whatever, you got thrown down a shaft and your army was defeated by munchkin bears. What do you know?

He's not referring to physical fights when he says ‘defeat.'

Apparently this is before he learned of Luke Skywalker's existence

It's fanon/probably-Legends that both Palpatine and Vader's perspectives really warped after that knowledge.
