Darth Vader Annual #1

[laughing_tree]

"Bar the movies, my main influences when thinking about the series are The Godfather and House Of Cards. In other words, I’m looking for compelling, fascinating, horrifying and understandable – but not necessarily sympathetic. With all our cast, I want people to not be able to look away – and still, in it recognise something true about us as living creatures." -- Keiron Gillen

So it's King Lear/Hamlet In Space, guest starring Darth Vader. Excellent.

I like how complimentary Vader is to the youngest daughter here. Though I'm kind of surprised at the whole "greater good" thing. I thought he was all Dark Side, all the time. E.g. who cares about the greater good, because the masses are just there to slake one's own thirst for power.

Vader may be a Sith, but he still admires people who put the well being of their people above everything else including their own lives.

[torporish]

In other words, just because he's evil doesn't mean he doesn't respect class. Yeah, okay. I can see that.

*His* Greater Good is order, he wants power for the sake of control.

Also I am kinda wondering between this woman, Aphra and Ahsoka if he just doesn't have a bit of a softspot for young women in need of guidance (in his own twisted way) kinda like an evil Wolverine!

[q99]

Well, Aphra's no Ahsoka ^^

Still, yea, someone who embraces his ideals-of-the-time, and really looks up to him... seems like a place for a soft spot.
