Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #33 - "Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon, Part II"

[laughing_tree]

A Star Wars thing that always itched at my brain. Having stolen the Death Star plans, and used them to find a weakness, what did the rebels do with them? Stick 'em in a drawer? Of course not. -- Si Spurrier

So this is really one of like, three times that someone targeting Pappy and Vader actually remembers that they have magic powers? Neat

I'd love the talk between Vader and Palpatine after that attempt.

Palpatine: "You knew he had a weapon?"
Vader: "Yes."
Palpatine: "And were you going to act?"
Vader: "If I felt it would succeed...perhaps."
Palpatine: "Oh? Only perhaps?"
Vader: "If you were so weak as to be taken unawares by a single assassin....you would not be strong enough to be Emperor."
Palpatine: "....You're learning, Lord Vader."

I'm sorry, are we supposed to believe that Aphra of all people is suddenly taking a stand against moral relativism?

I thought she was leaving because her ex just showed up and spit in her direction.

She's not taking a stand, she desperately wants to walk away because she's amoral and believes EVERYONE is a shitbag, and this just makes it easier to do so.

To be fair, these guys probably are.
