Jerkface posted:WHats even better about him is that he is part of a secret project by the Emperor to create these rivals for Vader that never show up or are mentioned in the movies despite being pretty big deals, and they were all created inside of a giant space whale flying around on the edge of the galaxy. Did you not see the comic he just posted? Clearly they were created inside a beige gradient.

Has there ever, in the history of forever, been an example of an ensemble arms-crossed 'badass' frame like that which didn't come across as obscenely hilarious or incredibly pathetic

After that RLM video I like to imagine that when Vader is on the bridge taking that pose he's actually asleep.

Him crossing his arms there really bothers me. is not the pose you make after you kill your wife. How about have him look down or something while Palpatine sidegrins like a maniac, the audience is going to get an upper back from the babies in the next scene anyway.

Friendly Factory posted:"The Force is obsolete. These are its successors." is such a Tony Stark line I hate the way the new characters talk in the new Marvel Star Wars stuff. With the characters from the movies they at least attempt to imitate their voice, although I think they frequently fail, especially with Vader, but any character that they've created themselves talks like any other comic book character, with the same kind of sassy Joss Whedon-esque dialogue that's already become the norm in comic books or they talk like any old comic book villain. turtlecrunch posted:Well the next scene is Obi Wan delivering the babies but he does hate flying so who knows, I guess this is a "how long was Luke training on Dagobah" question The Empire needed at least enough time to paint all their ships grey.

He doesn't have pockets to put his hands in or suspenders to put his thumbs under so that's really the only move he's got.

Naw, you don't see them until the very end of Episode III. It's only in TCW that you get a full taste of how incipiently fascist the Republic was becomng throughout the entire war. You even get to see Tarkin back when he was a Republic Naval officer on a meteoric rise through the ranks:  He and Anakin bond over their shared distaste for the Jedi's overly timid war tactics and strike up a minor bromance. Then in a later arc Tarkin starts acting like such an authoritarian rear end in a top hat that even Anakin gets pissed off at him. It sets up a nice foundation for the ambivalent relationship they have with each other in A New Hope. Cnut the Great fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jan 31, 2016 |

Bigger Luke is probably Vader's son, since Vader is so tall.

Padme was fairly petite though. They probably combined to make a medium size Luke that we've yet to see.

So did Anakin just steal C3PO from Uncle Owen at the end of Episode II? What a creep.

In the script, they actually give 3PO to Padme. To thank her for...I dunno, doing nothing, I guess.

I always just figured they let him leave with Anakin because, hell, Anakin built him, and he's really Anakin's last connection to his childhood with his mother.
