Darth Vader #1

[cyberghostface]

"We’re tackling what I think is the most compelling and unexplored period of Vader’s life — the moment after EMPIRE STRIKES BACK when he grapples with Luke’s refusal to join him on the Dark Side. We’re getting the chance to dig into some shocking corners of Vader’s past and present — taking this story to some pretty astounding places." -- Greg Pak

Didn't Vader already visit the Lars Homestead back in one of the other Vader miniseries?

[locuatico]

I was gonna say no, he visited Good ol' Ben Kenobi's cabin in Gillen's 2015 run... buuuut I decided to double check and... yeah, he already visited this place with Aphra searching for information on Luke so... yeah, I guess we are officially at the point the comic continuity is contradicting itself. (Altough I will be fair and say this issue gave more emotional weight to Vader visiting the Lars Homestead than in Gillen's run)

Pretty sure it's Sabe, the body double played by a then-unknown Kiera Knightley in Episode I.

Which answers the trivia question, yes she and Portman have worked together and even used their stunning resemblance for the role.

Wouldn't Anakin know about the Decoys? He was there when she revealed herself and her decoy to Boss Nass.

Probably, but there is a difference between knowing intellectually and having the decoy show up in your dead wifes apartment out of nowhere.

[jeyl]

That reveal did not occur in her apartment.

When first learning the Rebel pilot that blew up the Death Star was named Luke Skywalker, Vader could have still not known the whole truth. "Kenobi found and trained a Force-sensitive child. And he gave the boy last name of Skywalker? Is that Kenobi's idea of a JOKE?!"

Another 'funny' thing Vader could have realized before Empire Strikes Back:
"Note to self, keep this information secret from the Emperor. Second note to self, act surprised if the Emperor finds out on his own and then tells you."

I always had a theory that "Skywalker" was just some common, intuitive trade-based surname like "Cooper", so there's like, a whole lotta "Skywakers" on a moisture farming planet. I like to think RISE OF SKYWALKER validated this theory.
