@@arcadius6770 jedi are allowed to feel love and compassion, they're actually recommended. It's extreme emotions that are affiliated with love such as jealousy, fear, anger etc that the jedi have to avoid. Jedi that leave all emotions are like Ki-Adi-Mundi which is the prime example of a failed Jedi, the perfect Jedi is more like Plo Koon who feels compassion for his surroundings, he would actually die for a clone trooper while Ki-Adi-Mundi would just let them die and say "it's the will of the force"

Same here. Alas, Star Wars canon seems to make ideas like that virtually impossible. I would personally like to see a standalone Jedi story after the Clome Wars. BUT, Order 66 means that they all have to either be dead, in hiding, or somehow outside of the Empire's control. It kills a lot of potential outright.

Anakin Skywalker/Vader is truly the most tragic character in cinema history. His whole life he was essentially owned by different people. First Watto, then the Jedi order, then Palpatine. His pain grows when you consider the fact that he literally lost everything he ever cared about, including his mother and his wife, which led him to the dark side of the Force. He was subject to endless pain and suffering once he was under the Emperor, and he was finally free once he was redeemed and passed into the cosmic force.

[@DigiPen92]

5:30 I am not sure if that's actually Watto? His skin was shown to be completely gray while Watto is blue unless his species have aged to change color for 20 years like that? I'm kinda think it's definitely not Watto since I do remember that some species don't change color while they age similar to like Yoda's Species when Grogu was still green like Yoda and the Hutts such as Rotta the Hutt still has the same color as his father, Jabba the Hutt.

[@readmyusernamecauseitssoreally]

Could've just been mood lighting, cause it's a Vader comic and it's a death scene, Vaders whole mood is darkness. And I mean come on, the writers make it how they want. It's not like it would be the real world, where it "could" be watto. Also Vader would have the ability to search with the force on where watto is.

[@anonymoususer2797]

Could be cause he’s dead or just different drawing because of angles and shading

It’s interesting that as an artist I find the art in these comics to be very middle of the road, but on a scifi art level, a lot can be learned about making things look scifi while using different levels of detail at various distances.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZSulZp6bdJ-Z9U, this video says that Palpatine offered Vader a new suit which would cause him less pain and its was superior in every way however he rejected it for 2 reasons. 1 he may die because of changing suits and 2 the great pain allowed him to channel the dark side of the force more easily. As Yoda said Fear leads to suffering which leads to pain which leads to the dark side (or something like that)

Yes, I believe that's Watto. I suppose it's remotely possible that Vader would have a use for him outside of revenge, but given his nature I can't see a reunion between the two of them ending peacefully, even if Watto were able to buy his life with money or a service. Anakin was too messed up at that phase of his character arc.

In the story line of star wars it does indeed say that Darth Vader (Anakin) does go back for revenge for being treated a slave and kills Watto.
