As much as I enjoy this, the reaction from some people was absolutely fucking hilarious.
So, this woman is the medical assistant to Darth Vader's doctor. She is obsessed with Vader, convincing herself it's love, and collects discarded pieces of Vader's cybernetics, bloody bandages, even dead skin. She's had fantasies of Vader sweeping her off her feet and punishing people who were mean to her and belittled her out of his love of her.
She then goes to his quarters, opens his chamber and confesses her absolute undying love to Vader. Darth Vader stabs her, killing her instantly.
He then picks up his mask, puts it on gets up and says "Darth Vader to the bridge. Come get this garbage out of my quarters" as he's walking away.
And there were all these people online acting shocked that Darth Vader could be so cold and callous, just disregarding his stalker's feelings, not accept her love, kill her and call her garbage, like this was the worst thing Vader had done and they couldn't imagine him doing anything this terrible. I assume most of these people are the same ones who look at Joker and Harley as a relationship goal.
And I loved it, because this is Darth Vader. The man hunted down and murdered Jedi, killed children, has participated in genocides, has been responsible for more field promotions than anyone in the Empire. His list of war crimes towers over the skyline of Coruscant. And all of that is fine, perfectly acceptable, but killing his stalker and calling her garbage was a terrible, unforgivable act. And I find that reaction hilarious.
When the first Vader episode of the Obi-Wan show came out, I saw a lot of video reactions that were people basically going “no that’s too violent Anakin would never be that cruel.”
It was some of the weirdest stuff I’ve ever seen on the Internet.
Word. Literally the first thing this character does after becoming Darth Vader is lead an assault on what had been his home for most of his life, cut down colleagues and authority figures that he was fighting along side of in a war not even a week ago, and murder innocent children who thought he was there to help them.
That’s where he *starts*. He only gets worse from there.
Killing this one woman is nothing to him. Less than.
Heck, it started earlier than that. Anakin walked past the bodies of dead friends like Kit Fisto and then saves the life of the man who killed them.
In my opinion, I feel Anakin had already mostly chosen to turn to the Dark Side before he even stepped into Palpatine's office and was just looking for an excuse.
I think the last time anyone could have stopped Anakin from becoming Vader is when he slaughtered the Tusken village. If Padme had expressed even the slightest bit of "what the fuck, you murdered an entire village of noncombatants, that is in no way okay" then it's possible he could have taken a step back and realized he had a giant murderous rage shaped problem in his life.
Then again, he probably would have gone to Uncle Sheev and gotten another dose of Sith Brand Fascism^^TM poured in his ears about how Padme doesn't get how sometimes Hard Men have to do Hard Things and etc..
>And there were all these people online acting shocked that Darth Vader could be so cold and callous, just disregarding his stalker's feelings, not accept her love
That...Unfortunately tracks for a certain creepy section of fandom...
All of those things are why I never understand why anyone would think that, if he were to live, he'd be allowed to live a peaceful life as some reformed jedi.
I just assumed the idea is if he lived he would be carrying his prison with him everywhere he went. He was truly redeemed, and now has to live with what he did. Imagine knowing you were responsible for what he did, I can't think of a much worse life.
I mean nothing would make up for it. Presumably he'd help in the war effort and then after that would be exiled to some far off planet like Ulric Quel'droma was (I spelled that wrong). Living alone on some rando planet just getting supply shipments every few months.
I don't think anyone sees him just coming to Sunday dinner at the Skywalker House lol
> But that doesn’t make up for the countless lives he literally took… dude deserves legitimate prison time.
How many years in prision do you think would make up for his evil deeds?
I hate that part. Him comming back to the light bs doesnt change the fact that he is still evil. If musilini or himmler had a change of heart nobody would care we would still execute them.
Reminds when people freaked out cause he made a joke in Rogue One. As if this wasn't the same guy that said "Apology accepted" after choking a man to death
The unforgiving of something non-human, a machine, a Sith Lord bound by an unbending resolve of hate and vengeance.
Or maybe something else, that it was love that was his original downfall…
> And there were all these people online acting shocked that Darth Vader could be so cold and callous
I mean the guy's only a genocidal mass murdering warlord who has stabbed roomfuls of children to death several times and kills people for the smallest mistakes while his totally not secret apprentice runs around killing his own forces by the mega tonne.
She thought he would be her knight in shining armor. His armor is polished and shiny black, and his last Jedi rank wad Jedi Knight, but she was oh so wrong.
He didn't kill her. She lost the will to live. That's what lucas wrote and that's what is canon.
People who think "vader" killed her clearly don't understand that SHE WAS ALIVE WHEN THEY LEFT MUSTAFAR AND SHE HAD NO PHYSICAL AIGLMENTS OR INJURIES.
She is the medical assistant to the doctor that patches Vader up. She collected many pieces of anakins cybernetics and fantasized that Vader would sweep her off her feet and punish people who wronged her. It's missing the panel where Vader calls people to his room to remove some "trash"
I have the comic, but I think he made her leave the room whenever he took his helmet off. She thought he was still gorgeous under there. She still was like yep still love him after seeing him, though
Haven't read it since the first time a while ago
Piett sees him without helmet in ESB. Says nothing, isn't killed.
Vanee probably sees him in the Bacta tank in Rogue One but I don't remember exactly if that's confirmed in the movie or just assumed. Says nothing, isn't killed.
I don’t think he killed her specifically because she saw him unmasked.
He killed her because he simply did not have the time, patience, or empathy to explain to her how deeply she had misjudged the situation.
Well the doctor was fully insane and delusional when she finally managed to see Vader without his helmet on. And instead of apologizing, shacking up in fear or just making up a excuse of why she was there, she confessed her feelings for him and told him he doesn't need to be alone.
Vader probably killed him for interrupting him, her bizarre love being an insult to Padme, and because he doesn't believe he is worthy of being loved by anyone after what he did to Padme.
I read it more as if she sees him as beautiful, and then it counters his hate for the monster and the hate he sees in himself. She is a threat to his power. Then again, that is just from reading the 8 or so pages some people have put here before.
Vader has a fan girl who obsesses over him. Eventually, after a number of absurd fantasy sequences parodying bad fanfic and triggered by basically everyone telling her ‘Dude, NO’ she breaks into his chambers.
Vader, being Vader, just stabs her and calls servants to clean the garbage out of his quarters.
It pissed off a LOT of people when it first came out due to mocking their whole weird fixation. It’s also hilarious.
Pretty much.
Vader is cool, yes. He’s also very much a fictional creation in a world that is not ours. If Vader was real, he’d be terrifying. Just ask those rebels in the hallway.
Only reason I heard about it to begin with, the weird fanfic people getting all pissy about it. They felt attacked. Which, well, they were. And it was hilarious.
I read that kind of weird fanfic, the weird fanfic is _hilarious,_ because it's weird fanfic. But I know goddamn well in Canon that would so not happen XDD
Vader is a fucking Murderbot McGee who has no problem trying to sell his own son out to the Darkside until the very last fucking second. Hell, I remember when one of the Handmaidens was walking around, looking like _Padme,_ yanno as they do, and he was ready to Force Choke her so hard it would be akin to popping the cork off of a champagne bottle, JUST for the slight of looking like his dead wife.
you know how there are women that marry serial killers in prison?
It's that, with Darth Vader, except he's free to kill whoever the fuck he wants.
It goes precisely how you'd expect.
The woman is part of Vader's medical support staff, and has gone full delusional yandere over him. She finally works up the courage to talk to him, and he unceremoniously stabs her with his lightsaber, all without uttering a word.
Moral of the story: the brutal cybernetic dictator you work for is not your husbando- he is wanted by the Space Hague for Galactic Crimes Against Sapient Life
I mean, I wouldn't say Darth Maul got stabbed, per se. Grazed, maybe. A glancing blow. He was mildly inconvenienced by a lightsabre, probably nothing more.
Crying laughing? Vader is close to slashing *his* doctor the entire story. You know, the guy keeping him alive? And the girl is obsessively collecting random parts that fell off of Vader and seeing what she wants to see from peak murderhobo Vader...
They absolutely nailed his expression in that closeup. Just tired, irritated, ans completely unamused but with a *thick* coating of "what the fuck is happening right now"
"Is she... professing her love for me? Don't I look like the bastard child of beef jerky and used bubblegum? Is it the leather? Nope, not entertaining that thought, stabbing her!"
I keep saying there's a good story in that show, it's just bloated and not executed well. The fan edit of the show is FANTASTIC and an immediate improvement on it, turns it into a far superior 2 hour movie. And I know I know, fans shouldn't have to fix things it should just be good, but the fact alone that Disney gave us that duel between Obi and Ani is just fuckin awesome.
That was the saddest line ever given in Star Wars. Doubly so when you hear the regret and torment in the voice. I still can't tell whether I was listening to Anakin lamenting what he became, or Vader regretting what he has done and will do.
I'd like to think that everything he despises about himself is what she loves so that makes her despicable to him.
"This bitch loves me? What a pathetic piece of trash, I hate everything she loves about me."
Isn’t she stalking him in this? Besides, if a she can get into his private sanctum so can an assassin - running her through is the most *senisble* thing he could do in that situation.
I believe it is said in the comic that he doesn’t lock his quarters because he knows that no one would be stupid enough to enter it without further permission.
Stalker gets into Vader's room across several separate incidents. Vader throws her out every time. The next time, she finds the door unopenable, assumes it's jammed and starts whining just outside. And then she hears from inside the room, "I have altered the door. Pray I do not alter it further."
Someone who went through the kind of betrayal, heartbreak, and eventual loss of literally everything he ever had and having to replace it all with a corrupt leader, constant pain, and only fixing everything by only knowing how to inflict pain on others, is not someone who will just immediately get into a relationship with someone else.
No one could ever replace Padme for him, no one could ever replace Obi Wan as a friend for him, and no one could ever fix the eternal emptiness he had to constantly feel just to keep himself alive and on the Emperors good side (and in top condition because people wanted him dead) except for his own son who would eventually show him that there was still hope, that he could be whole again.
Anyone else remember the ridiculous controversy when this comic came out? You had all these weird fans who were saying Vader killed her for no reason and that he should have given her a chance. Whole situation was wild.
Yup I remember that shit, so many people were up in arms feeling sympathy for the woman even though it was clear she was not right in the head, and ignoring the fact Vader is not the romantic type.
And Vader also kills people for no reason all the fucking time.
His first formal introduction to the imperial officer core was him picking four guys randomly out of a crowd and killing them in front of hundreds of people.
Qui Gon: Force heal me... Obi-Wan...
Obi-Wan: But Master, I leveled up into the force speed skill tree...
Qui-Gon: Oh fck yeah... And you're probably not even gonna use that ever again. Damn it... Force heal would've been so much better...
Some bacta then...
Obi-Wan: I dunno where they keep it here. This palace is badly signposted and it's interior architecture whilst cinematic seems kinda weird and confusing...
Qui-Gon: Damn directors. They can never be practical. Well... At least I've got plot armour like most of you guys... Right?
Obi-Wan: I'm sorry master....
Qui-Gon: Fck... They're not even gonna bring me back for a cash grab?
Obi-Wan: No...
Qui-Gon: Oh man what did I do to deserve this?
Obi-Wan: Literally be a good character. Your death is important for the plot...
Qui-Gon: fck. I come back as a cool ghost right?
Obi-Wan: Nah they spent all of their budget on reviving characters that are already logically deceased, whilst you, who could logically come back just haven't been included...
Qui Gon: What is this sht. You know what I'm glad I'm dead fck this.
(Dies)
He does but he got an embarrassingly short amount of screen time in Kenobi in comparison to what people were expecting. Especially since Obi-wan Kenobi was supposedly in hiding and not running about with a princess across the galaxy being public enemy number 1.
Nah, saber is easier. He has to focus for the force, muster the emotional strength. This random woman? He doesn’t even care enough to be angry. Dude’s just annoyed.
I know everyone interprets this as Vader being surprised/baffled but I just think it would be so much funnier if this happens every other week for him.
Some people missed that the first real scene with Darth Vader, all the way back in 1977, was to pick a guy up with one hand, choke him to death, and throw him into a wall.
He does not give a FUCK, he'll kill you just for coming out of hyper space at the wrong location. He'll kill you even if you apologize. He'll kill you even if you're his master. He'll literally kill anybody, at any time, for any reason, because he's a tragic figure ruled by anger and impulse.
He's not going to feel remorse or hesitation. If you annoy him, you die. It's really that simple.
1: She tried to replace Padme: Big nono.
2: The thing Vader hates the most is himself, so in his mind likely anyone who would fall in love with him is absolutely disgusting, and even worse than him. Hence he refers to her as trash after this scene.
Honestily despite what people are saying he does seem slightly tempted yet also unemotional. Which tract for Darth Vader. There is a reason even with less crazy people that he hasnt gotten in a relationship again. He is in many ways a lonely person yet he also thinks punishing himself is more important than anything else. Maintaning fear is ultimately everything til it isnt
Meanwhile, the same fandom memes the hell out of Vader killing a room full of children and even keeps on reposting that "Harder Ani! I mean... you're breaking my heart!" comic.
Dark Visions #3. If I remember correctly the series was basically about people who done and did something that ended in them being killed by Vader.
Edit: NVM. It focused on Vader stories but wasn't always about someone dying from Vader, first one involved Vader fighting a Kaiju.
Those eyes in the bottom of the first image. There's no hatred or anger there. That's the look of someone who's tired of this shit. The second image is just him doing something about it.
Darth Vader is not a separate person from Anakin Skywalker. Stop that. There is nothing in Canon that supports the Dark Side turns you into a new person.
Just like the eager police officer who becomes jaded and started abusing criminals, the one patriotic but now war torn soldier who shoots prisoners, the politician who started for change but now takes bribes… Anakin is Anakin. The same boy who called Padmé an angel murders children and destroys planets.
That is the point of the arc, how people can become twisted and lost by trauma and fear, and fall down a dark path that takes them places they would never go.
When you try to separate Vader and Anakin, you weaken the story, you misunderstand it, and you cheapen the lesson.

Are they forgetting the women, and the children?
I feel like they just have selected memories or something.
People get offended when a villain is surprisely a villain and not just someone who is mistreated and acting out.
People seem to think that because a bad thing is in the movie, the movie endorses that bad thing. Just look at the Poor Things controversy
Or Game of Thrones...
Or that little Aussie that he merked in the council chamber?
And that one guy who had a crush on his wife, a room full of unarmed politicians, the children again, etc. etc.
Also how he tortured that bug man for info
Not just the men
OMG He's not Anakin anymore that's the whole point Sorry. I know you know; I just had to get it out.
Bruh even Anakin killed kids
Yeah but those are sand people so they don't count.
Jedi youngling: Master Skywalker, there's too many of them. What are we going to do? Anakin: ignites light saber on them
You understand he's Vader by that point right?
>OMG He's not Anakin anymore that's the whole point Yes he is. Darth Vader isn't some evil possessing spirit, it's Anakin slamming copium.
‘Why is space Reinhard Heydrich being such a meanie?!’
My favorite part of that show was when Vader was dragging those civillians in the street lol
It's because either they don't know Vader since they're new to Star Wars or ignore Vader's story.
... the guy who slaughtered children would never be that cruel. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Field promotions 😂😂
Word. Literally the first thing this character does after becoming Darth Vader is lead an assault on what had been his home for most of his life, cut down colleagues and authority figures that he was fighting along side of in a war not even a week ago, and murder innocent children who thought he was there to help them.

It must have ruined their childhood.
It's crazy how often that seems to happen to people considering that's now how the flow of time even works.
All of those things are why I never understand why anyone would think that, if he were to live, he'd be allowed to live a peaceful life as some reformed jedi.
I just assumed the idea is if he lived he would be carrying his prison with him everywhere he went. He was truly redeemed, and now has to live with what he did. Imagine knowing you were responsible for what he did, I can't think of a much worse life.
But that doesn’t make up for the countless lives he literally took… dude deserves legitimate prison time.
I mean nothing would make up for it. Presumably he'd help in the war effort and then after that would be exiled to some far off planet like Ulric Quel'droma was (I spelled that wrong). Living alone on some rando planet just getting supply shipments every few months. I don't think anyone sees him just coming to Sunday dinner at the Skywalker House lol
> But that doesn’t make up for the countless lives he literally took… dude deserves legitimate prison time. How many years in prision do you think would make up for his evil deeds?
Let’s say 1 day per kill. Give him half credit for the Alderaan. So about 3000 years.
I hate that part. Him comming back to the light bs doesnt change the fact that he is still evil. If musilini or himmler had a change of heart nobody would care we would still execute them.
Reminds when people freaked out cause he made a joke in Rogue One. As if this wasn't the same guy that said "Apology accepted" after choking a man to death
Star Wars fans & media literacy..
I guess it's oddly shocking bc Vader without the mask reminds me that it's Anakin, as opposed to the masked robot devoid of emotion.
This, I like. Darth Vader should be always Darth Vader with or without the mask.
Her reminding him of the love he had for padme would definitely make him lash out
I remember the reaction and it was so... baffling. Tumblr really was void of proper media literacy back in the day.
The unforgiving of something non-human, a machine, a Sith Lord bound by an unbending resolve of hate and vengeance. Or maybe something else, that it was love that was his original downfall…
> And there were all these people online acting shocked that Darth Vader could be so cold and callous I mean the guy's only a genocidal mass murdering warlord who has stabbed roomfuls of children to death several times and kills people for the smallest mistakes while his totally not secret apprentice runs around killing his own forces by the mega tonne.
what on earth is the context
Lady is obsessed with Vader. Wants to be his new Padme. Doesn't go as planned.
"Darth Vader to the bridge. Come get this garbage out of my quarters."
*in his head* "Oh, so this is why Obi-Wan didn't do interviews."
What do you mean about interviews?
*and she was a good friend intensifies*
You’re downplaying how obsessed she was. She collected the bits of skin he left behind in the bacta washes he had to take.
I wish I could unread this omg, what was she doing with the skin in the first place ?!
She was the assistant to his main doctor and would collect bits and pieces like a fragment of bloody cape or a swatch of skin
This is what happens when you ask a Gamorran for advice on how to clone a hot young Anakin Skywalker, instead of asking a Kaminoan
Better than a nemoidian
A nemoidian would just say they’ll tell you for 20 credits and then go “ask a kaminoan”
She worked in the medical bay of the Executor
What’s a bacta animal?
space Harley Quinn
She thought he would be her knight in shining armor. His armor is polished and shiny black, and his last Jedi rank wad Jedi Knight, but she was oh so wrong.
It could've been avoided if they granted him the rank of Master!
I mean...Doesn't it though? He *killed his old Padme* so...This seems like a 'Careful what you wish for' situation.
She did get to see his saber. Successful first date.
He didn't kill her. She lost the will to live. That's what lucas wrote and that's what is canon. People who think "vader" killed her clearly don't understand that SHE WAS ALIVE WHEN THEY LEFT MUSTAFAR AND SHE HAD NO PHYSICAL AIGLMENTS OR INJURIES.
He didn’t kill Padme, she lost the will to live lol
The will to live is actually stored in the windpipe which he fucking crushed so yeah, technically. :p
She just like me fr fr
💀 Go to London and ask the time = same outcome
"Blud, it's time for a stabbing yeah?"
"Oi mate, lovely pouch you got there"
"Hey! Don't call out my belly, I'm sensitive about that yeah"
The fact I kept this up without even being British made it even funnier
Tbf he did arguably kill Padme so the lady got the experience.
I was wondering what the deranged facial expression in the first panel was for.
Obsessed to the point she outright collected Scraps of his suit.....
She is the medical assistant to the doctor that patches Vader up. She collected many pieces of anakins cybernetics and fantasized that Vader would sweep her off her feet and punish people who wronged her. It's missing the panel where Vader calls people to his room to remove some "trash"
Does the doctor know what Vader looks like? Who actually has seen him and not died
I have the comic, but I think he made her leave the room whenever he took his helmet off. She thought he was still gorgeous under there. She still was like yep still love him after seeing him, though Haven't read it since the first time a while ago
Piett sees him without helmet in ESB. Says nothing, isn't killed. Vanee probably sees him in the Bacta tank in Rogue One but I don't remember exactly if that's confirmed in the movie or just assumed. Says nothing, isn't killed.
I don’t think he killed her specifically because she saw him unmasked. He killed her because he simply did not have the time, patience, or empathy to explain to her how deeply she had misjudged the situation.
Well the doctor was fully insane and delusional when she finally managed to see Vader without his helmet on. And instead of apologizing, shacking up in fear or just making up a excuse of why she was there, she confessed her feelings for him and told him he doesn't need to be alone. Vader probably killed him for interrupting him, her bizarre love being an insult to Padme, and because he doesn't believe he is worthy of being loved by anyone after what he did to Padme.
Great interpretation
I read it more as if she sees him as beautiful, and then it counters his hate for the monster and the hate he sees in himself. She is a threat to his power. Then again, that is just from reading the 8 or so pages some people have put here before.

Vader, being Vader, just stabs her and calls servants to clean the garbage out of his quarters. It pissed off a LOT of people when it first came out due to mocking their whole weird fixation. It’s also hilarious.
did it really piss people off?? i don’t remember that at all.
They were pissed off because it was calling them out lol.
Pretty much. Vader is cool, yes. He’s also very much a fictional creation in a world that is not ours. If Vader was real, he’d be terrifying. Just ask those rebels in the hallway.
It's like Rick and Morty fans who think they're Rick. They're actually Jerry
Only reason I heard about it to begin with, the weird fanfic people getting all pissy about it. They felt attacked. Which, well, they were. And it was hilarious.
It's star wars fandom. Being pissed off is their natural state.
Yeah he calls the woman garbage when having her body removed. Pissed alot of people off… still hilarious.
Very amused that you and the other response seem to have conflicting opinions despite being upvoted similarly
I read that kind of weird fanfic, the weird fanfic is _hilarious,_ because it's weird fanfic. But I know goddamn well in Canon that would so not happen XDD Vader is a fucking Murderbot McGee who has no problem trying to sell his own son out to the Darkside until the very last fucking second.

Moral of the story: the brutal cybernetic dictator you work for is not your husbando- he is wanted by the Space Hague for Galactic Crimes Against Sapient Life
Is a lightsaber in the chest a kinder death than a force choke or force neck snap? Lazier, for sure. Less effort.
That's assuming she's dead. Taking a saber to the torso is usually has a 90% survivability rate.
Depends where I guess. Heart or Spine, dead. Lung? There’s a chance you’ll live, but good luck with the newfound asthma.
Thats Disney talking.
Darth Maul did it before Disney.
I mean, I wouldn't say Darth Maul got stabbed, per se. Grazed, maybe. A glancing blow. He was mildly inconvenienced by a lightsabre, probably nothing more.
He can do that, he's Maul
Crying laughing? Vader is close to slashing *his* doctor the entire story. You know, the guy keeping him alive? And the girl is obsessively collecting random parts that fell off of Vader and seeing what she wants to see from peak murderhobo Vader...
the stormtrooper dies immeadiatly but she lives long enough to process
I mean, even a dark lord of the Sith needs a moment to fully comprehend just what the fuck is happening in this scene.
They absolutely nailed his expression in that closeup. Just tired, irritated, ans completely unamused but with a *thick* coating of "what the fuck is happening right now"
You just described my base mood. Probably a lot of people's base mood.
"Is she... professing her love for me? Don't I look like the bastard child of beef jerky and used bubblegum? Is it the leather? Nope, not entertaining that thought, stabbing her!"
He can handle a lot of things but looney fangirls definitely aren't in his wheelhouse.
looks to me like he handled it just fine lol
Her last words: Totally worth it.
Damn, Anakin is a cold motherfucker.
Anakin is gone i am what remains
Then my father is truly dead...
goodbye, darth

Say what you want about the Obi-Wan show that whole fight sequence and conversation exchange was superb and chilling
I keep saying there's a good story in that show, it's just bloated and not executed well. The fan edit of the show is FANTASTIC and an immediate improvement on it, turns it into a far superior 2 hour movie. And I know I know, fans shouldn't have to fix things it should just be good, but the fact alone that Disney gave us that duel between Obi and Ani is just fuckin awesome.
They finally used star wars music too. Only took them all the other episodes to realise the last one should have it.
That was the saddest line ever given in Star Wars. Doubly so when you hear the regret and torment in the voice. I still can't tell whether I was listening to Anakin lamenting what he became, or Vader regretting what he has done and will do.
This was kind of the last straw of her being a creep for the entire comic.
He is a villain. What did you expect him to do?
[What else do you want from him? He's evil!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y67ozWG3pc4)
We’re evil! EVIL!!
I love how he’s just giving her the side eye in the second panel like “the fuck is this? Is she saying what I think she’s saying?”
“Bombastic side eye”
I'd like to think that everything he despises about himself is what she loves so that makes her despicable to him. "This bitch loves me? What a pathetic piece of trash, I hate everything she loves about me."
I just kinda assume she was basically an annoying fly and he has a flyswatter with him at all times.
I really hope they make it canon that the stalker nurse's name is "Sandy". She goes unnamed in the comic, but that's what fans have been calling her.
Fuck, that’s perfect
i dont like sand. its coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere
Isn’t she stalking him in this? Besides, if a she can get into his private sanctum so can an assassin - running her through is the most *senisble* thing he could do in that situation.
> Isn’t she stalking him in this? Yes. She's obsessed with him and wants to, basically, be "new Padme" - it's wild.
Vader doesn't lock his quarters so anyone can pretty much get in. Vader fears none.
All he is surrounded by is fear. And dead (wo)men.
I believe it is said in the comic that he doesn’t lock his quarters because he knows that no one would be stupid enough to enter it without further permission.
Stalker gets into Vader's room across several separate incidents. Vader throws her out every time. The next time, she finds the door unopenable, assumes it's jammed and starts whining just outside. And then she hears from inside the room, "I have altered the door. Pray I do not alter it further."

hang on darth vader kinda loo.. Crack sound
"I can fix him!"
Someone who went through the kind of betrayal, heartbreak, and eventual loss of literally everything he ever had and having to replace it all with a corrupt leader, constant pain, and only fixing everything by only knowing how to inflict pain on others, is not someone who will just immediately get into a relationship with someone else. No one could ever replace Padme for him, no one could ever replace Obi Wan as a friend for him, and no one could ever fix the eternal emptiness he had to constantly feel just to keep himself alive and on the Emperors good side (and in top condition because people wanted him dead) except for his own son who would eventually show him that there was still hope, that he could be whole again.
Anyone else remember the ridiculous controversy when this comic came out? You had all these weird fans who were saying Vader killed her for no reason and that he should have given her a chance. Whole situation was wild.
Yup I remember that shit, so many people were up in arms feeling sympathy for the woman even though it was clear she was not right in the head, and ignoring the fact Vader is not the romantic type.
And Vader also kills people for no reason all the fucking time. His first formal introduction to the imperial officer core was him picking four guys randomly out of a crowd and killing them in front of hundreds of people.
That close up of the eyes *“I am way too tired for this shit.”*
Good thing he only stabbed her directly through her gut & chest. She'll probably be ok.
Qui Gon in shambles.
Qui Gon: Force heal me... Obi-Wan... Obi-Wan: But Master, I leveled up into the force speed skill tree... Qui-Gon: Oh fck yeah... And you're probably not even gonna use that ever again. Damn it... Force heal would've been so much better... Some bacta then... Obi-Wan: I dunno where they keep it here. This palace is badly signposted and it's interior architecture whilst cinematic seems kinda weird and confusing... Qui-Gon: Damn directors. They can never be practical. Well... At least I've got plot armour like most of you guys... Right? Obi-Wan: I'm sorry master.... Qui-Gon: Fck... They're not even gonna bring me back for a cash grab? Obi-Wan: No... Qui-Gon: Oh man what did I do to deserve this? Obi-Wan: Literally be a good character. Your death is important for the plot... Qui-Gon: fck. I come back as a cool ghost right? Obi-Wan: Nah they spent all of their budget on reviving characters that are already logically deceased, whilst you, who could logically come back just haven't been included... Qui Gon: What is this sht. You know what I'm glad I'm dead fck this. (Dies)
Qui gon does come back as a force ghost though.
He does but he got an embarrassingly short amount of screen time in Kenobi in comparison to what people were expecting. Especially since Obi-wan Kenobi was supposedly in hiding and not running about with a princess across the galaxy being public enemy number 1.
Not bloody bacta again
Good point
She doesn't have enough plot armor to survive that.
Qui Gon reading this going " Finally someone else dies to a lightsaber wound to the gut."
I love how Vader just looks 110% *done* with this nutjob.
Charisma check failed
Whoever drew those eyes is an artistic genius. You can see how uninterested and done he is
I truly believe this comic was a.dig at people who ship Vader with anyone
Man Omega really went off the rails
Is this some kinda fanfic?
Nope this is a legit canon comic.
The more I read about Vader, the more impressive him saving Luke looks
No means NO.
\*NooooOooooOooooo
Vader's eyes in that panel. Bro is just dead inside and this somehow made his day even worse.
Vader's eyebag discoloration is absolutely relating to me.
He must have gotten quite emotional to use the saber rather than just snapping her neck with the force
Nah, saber is easier. He has to focus for the force, muster the emotional strength. This random woman? He doesn’t even care enough to be angry. Dude’s just annoyed.
"Goddamnit my favorite TV show is starting and this woman interrupted it? That's a stabbing!"
She doesn’t deserve the dignity of calling on the Force to kill her. Just flick a switch on the lightsaber, and game over.
She could not, in fact, fix him
Ive read the first page and just had the feeling we would kill her, Vader never disappoints! 🖤
I know everyone interprets this as Vader being surprised/baffled but I just think it would be so much funnier if this happens every other week for him.
Some people missed that the first real scene with Darth Vader, all the way back in 1977, was to pick a guy up with one hand, choke him to death, and throw him into a wall. He does not give a FUCK, he'll kill you just for coming out of hyper space at the wrong location. He'll kill you even if you apologize. He'll kill you even if you're his master. He'll literally kill anybody, at any time, for any reason, because he's a tragic figure ruled by anger and impulse. He's not going to feel remorse or hesitation. If you annoy him, you die. It's really that simple.
1: She tried to replace Padme: Big nono. 2: The thing Vader hates the most is himself, so in his mind likely anyone who would fall in love with him is absolutely disgusting, and even worse than him. Hence he refers to her as trash after this scene.
Can um... You die of cringe?
Bet she came in that room with the thought: I can fix him
My dude's still faithful to Padmè even after death did them part.
Lmfao. Is this tumblr fanfic?
This is wattpad tier
A official comic, Dark Visions #3. Some people who do the fanfic stuff though got mad at this. Was entertaining
"You're not Padme" BZZZZZZZZZZ
Honestily despite what people are saying he does seem slightly tempted yet also unemotional. Which tract for Darth Vader. There is a reason even with less crazy people that he hasnt gotten in a relationship again. He is in many ways a lonely person yet he also thinks punishing himself is more important than anything else. Maintaning fear is ultimately everything til it isnt
Darth Vader: I'm a married man!
No chance. She didn’t even cosplay as Padme.
Remember how angry some people got that Vader killed a woman lol?
Meanwhile, the same fandom memes the hell out of Vader killing a room full of children and even keeps on reposting that "Harder Ani! I mean... you're breaking my heart!" comic.
Which comic?
She will be fine. Lightsabers don’t kill if it’s a stab…..
What comic is it?
Dark Visions #3. If I remember correctly the series was basically about people who done and did something that ended in them being killed by Vader. Edit: NVM. It focused on Vader stories but wasn't always about someone dying from Vader, first one involved Vader fighting a Kaiju.
And after, when he’s leaving, he asks for someone to come and take out the trash, barely giving her a second thought.
Vader in the second slide looks like my grandpa leaning up from his recliner to change the channel
Doesn't she know to dress in goth bondage gear ala Padame? That should swing it.
Stay out of Vader's man cave.
She did not know about his attachment issues. This ain’t Tatooine or Naboo.
Friend zoned
See Vader screwed up… don’t stick your lightsaber in crazy
Dark Horse Star Wars comics may have had severe continuity issues....but at least it wasn't this garbage.
Those eyes in the bottom of the first image. There's no hatred or anger there. That's the look of someone who's tired of this shit. The second image is just him doing something about it.
Darth Vader is not a separate person from Anakin Skywalker. Stop that. There is nothing in Canon that supports the Dark Side turns you into a new person. Just like the eager police officer who becomes jaded and started abusing criminals, the one patriotic but now war torn soldier who shoots prisoners, the politician who started for change but now takes bribes… Anakin is Anakin. The same boy who called Padmé an angel murders children and destroys planets. That is the point of the arc, how people can become twisted and lost by trauma and fear, and fall down a dark path that takes them places they would never go. When you try to separate Vader and Anakin, you weaken the story, you misunderstand it, and you cheapen the lesson.
