More like his Sycophants. Tarkin was the only one Palpatine respected and needed...which is why he gave Vader explicit orders to not attack Tarkin.
Ah.
Hardly. It was an incident where Palpatine and Vader were shot down on Ryloth due to a Imperial traitor. Rebel fighters zeroed in on them and since the only ones around were the Imperial Guards, Vader and Palpatine let loose with their power. Vader pulling ships out of the sky and Palps overloading their systems with Lightening. Needless to say the guards were dumbstruck.
I can let this pass. But I don't see why they would "let loose", unless by that you mean they lacked support crew an vehicles to take care of the enemy threat, and therefore let the Dark Side do the talking.
Yea, I know Vader is not what he could have been...but having another Force User that level other than Skywalker Bloodline doesn't sit with me.
Weren't you the saying you'd be happy if Rey weren't a Skywalker? Anyway, the better way of using the midichlorians as a measurable way see Force power would have been to say that they are attracted to Force energy, and thrive within beings strong in the Force. In that way, Vader would never had lost any of his potency.
1.) Datacrons are a kind of holocron that is used for data storage only and doesn't need Force Power to open. Fancy USB drives basically.
2.) She outed him as a Jedi...order 66 is still active and he became a target.
3.) Yes, but these were not Vaders Troops.
1) ok
2) then how didn't the clones that he led to the temple recognize him facially as a Jedi? It was part of the sales pitch on Kamino, that clones think creatively. Basically they don't merely process hard data. He was also dressed
just like a Jedi. Operating as "machines", the clones would have seen Jedi garb + lightsaber + facial recognition of Anakin Skywalker = kill on sight.
3) Weird. And it explains that these troops were never aware of Vader's switchover?
Like I said...I like the Idea of the Inquisitors...not the execution. Vader usually does...the Inquisitors are there for when he has a mission from Palpatine and they take up the hunt.
You mean more on the level of dark side adepts? I'm not sold on the idea of hardened Jedi being turned. However....it would have made for an excellent throwback story for Ahsoka to be confronted by a fully turned Bariss Offee. And, as much as I hate the Inq sabers, the thought of Pong Krell with 4 of them is a little terrifying.
Leviathan (for me) are used to describe Aquatic Creatures...this was a land creature.
Research Sorzus Syn. She was one of the original Dark Lords of the Sith. She had a particular knack for creating "battle leviathan"; creatures twisted into monstrous abominations that make a rancor look like it belongs in a petting zoo.
Like I said, The Vader stories were the only things keeping me from writing off Star Wars all together. But if comics ain't your bag then then they ain't your bag.
I think that's because there was always waaaayyyy more to Vader than the movies ever fleshed out.
