Star Wars: Darth Vader By Charles Soule Omnibus (Star Wars: Darth Vader Omnibus)

Product Information

From forging a new lightsaber, purging Jedi, making war, and dealing with traitors, Vader proves why he deserves to have the title of Darth, and even tho this is set after Ep III and he is fallable, he always finds a way to punish those who stand in his way.

I do wish it had annotations from Soule, similar to what Gillen got to do in his Vader omnibus, but I’m fine that we even got this in the first place.

The way he depicts Vader on the astral plane is both beautiful and kind of funny if you remember he drew Spider-Man for a bit. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious, and Tarkin - whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire's supremacy. You also get to see him struggle internally with his new purpose as the empires weapon against surviving Jedi being a Ex Jedi himself and what mental struggles that trauma has brought on.

Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.There doesn’t seem to be any glimmer of hope (at least writing this portion of my review halfway through this omnibus) that Vader has any remorse or Anakin left in him. And as other villains old and new play their part - from Boba Fett and Jabba the Hutt to diabolical debutant Aphra and the killer droids Triple-Zero and BeeTee-One - will Vader's imperial march continue, or will his schemes prove his undoing? The war tactics must be thought up more creatively and the way the illustrations were done were so clever. This ancient training textbook crafted by Jedi Masters has helped enlighten and teach generations of Jedi. Soule dives deep into the psyche of Vader especially when it comes to his past AND his connection to the dark and light side of the force.
