I think that the assault on the temple in Revenge of the Sith and obviously the battle with with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was powered up on the dark side then for sure. I do want to convey this is when Vader has really opened up us to the dark side for the first time. Star Wars is absolutely a fantasy universe, so you have to be very careful of the rules and not to give mega power to Darth Vader to the point where he's doesn't feel like himself anymore. It's like any fantasy universe there are rules about the way that magic works. I tried not to him to have him be, like, blowing up Star Destroyers with his mind and things like that. Did that make it more or less challenging to write him during this era?Ĭharles Soule: I think the things he's doing in the comic are pretty comparable and in line with what we saw him do in the films.

The ensuing action introduced us to a Vader we we haven't seen before. Emperor Palpatine only allowed his new apprentice a short amount of time (you know, moments) to process his grief over Padmé before he gave Vader his next mission: to hunt a living Jedi, take his or her lightsaber, and make the kyber crystal bleed into signature Sith red. The first arc of Marvel's new Darth Vader series, in which writer Charles Soule and artist Giuseppe Camuncoli have taken readers back to the Sith Lord's first moments inside his infamous armor, came to an end last week. The writer of Marvel's hit series discusses the Sith Lord's quest for a lightsaber and more.
