Those are Vaders droids no? I can't remember the exact origin but I quite like how on the nose it is. Here's Anakins evil mirror right down to his droids.

Triple 0's origin seems kinda muddy. The guy who's protecting his chip says that it's been contained for centuries. But after getting hooked into a body he says he was part of the same Tarkin Initiative that BT was made under. And Vader knew the access code to his chip, so I would assume it's the same Tarkin we know.

Nah, the Mon Calamari cyborg has multiple colors, including a purple one.

Was supposed to be a joke on Lucas' pickyness but I guess it wasn't that good :p

Well Vader Down was only stand alone for one issue and then ran through both Star Wars and Darth Vader series, so I don't see why it wouldn't affect their stories. And yeah it was good, Vader's a loving boss in it

So did anyone else find the artwork in this week's Star Wars to be a little...off?

And also, jesus Owen I get that you don't want Obi-Wan giving Luke stuff for something he's supposed to be grounded from, but to complain that you're the only one not being robbed by Jabba and raided by Tuskens is a loving dumb thing to bitch about. A simple "I don't particularly like you hanging around but...thanks for not letting us get murdered in our sleep." isn't much to ask.

It might make other locals resentful I guess, and being sideeyed by Jabba for being "untouchable" probably isn't a good thing.

He could probably force business owners to screw Owen on purchases or flat out not sell to him too.

Not to mention Obi Won tells Luke why he claimed Darth Vader killed Anakin in RotJ.

Similar question, I've seen it mentioned a few time that the movies straight up calls Jedi a religion, but the only times I can think of is Han and Motti in ANH and both times it's being dismissed as hokey superstition. Are there any instances of someone that actually understands the force calling it a religion?

Tarkin does in ANH, and he's shown in clone wars to sometimes work with the Jedi and obviously works with the emperor and Vader. But I suppose his level of understanding could be up to debate.

How Vader finds out about Luke is what I was referring to.

And i see in addition to dumb c3p0 Vader is out today, so looking forward to reading that.

Yeah tbh I was kinda upset that they brought that other droid onto the show at the end cuz I'm worried they're gonna change chopper's character from being just a straight jerk to everybody to only clowning on the other droid like r2 does, which will be much less fun.

How is the Dr Aphra book?

It's good but it's a lot different than Vader, it's like a black comedy Indiana Jones kinda??? The characterization of aphra seems to be different than how she was portrayed in Vader too, which is strange since they're both written by the same guy

(TBF, though, the other reviews that have actual things written have more reasonable criticisms, and only other one mentions that at all, saying it felt rushed, but not against the idea.)

Loved reading the story about a woman who worked for darth vader, who runs around with robots literally designed for killing people, where lots of people violently die with my kids. Not ready to talk about two women kissing

Don’t worry, the other article I’m tracking down is real cynical. :v:

I used to get in canon debates with members of the AvP community about whether the expanded universe is canon, now I get in different canon debates about whether canon matters at all. :suicide:

The AvP “canon” is such a nonsense mess that changes constantly that it’s truly meaningless. Like, Fox will come down from on high and say “everything from THIS POINT FORWARD is canon”, and then 2 years later Ridley Scott will release a movie that not only contradicts some of the “new canon” materials, but contradicts his own earlier movies.
Not to mention very little individual Alien/Predator stuff connects with anything else on a narrative level.

Nothing matters, enjoy what you want, ignore what you don’t.

That said, I’m a hypocrite because I get mildly annoyed when old Star Wars stuff I liked gets definitively contradicted (Keyan Farlander is no longer the lone surviving Y-wing pilot from the Battle of Yavin), especially when it’s an unnecessary change (again, Farlander), and I get a mild thrill when old EU stuff is “made canon” again (Dash Rendar, the old Han Solo adventures, the old Lando Calrissian adventures, Teras Kasi).

I think this maybe the only place i can drop this in long after the fact but i enjoyed your LPs
