Lol, have you seen this page from an old Star Wars manga? It’s when Vader discovers that Luke is alive
i haven’t! but – this is an absolute delight? “i’m coming for you, my son,” JUST – and him remarking on how he can see padme in luke? the “just you wait”? oh god it’s beautiful this is so good and pure
oh god. Like clearly I prefer the new Darth Vader comic’s more, uh, stoic and visually artistic interpretation of the moment it all clicks into place (with the cracking viewport and the flashbacks to RotS) but this is hilarious and delightful. At first I’m like, “the child I fathered with Padme what the fuck Anakin would never think like that” but then I remember the actual canon lines Anakin spoke and I’m not so sure he wouldn’t stand there giving himself a “previously on My Life” monologue.
The only thing that’s missing is him saying “wizard.”
@fialleril, have you seen this gem?
Incredible.
(Also yes, 100% Anakin regularly narrates “previously on My Life” monologues to himself.)
Also also, thanks for the reminder that I really need to work a “Wizard!” into Double Agent Vader.
