...I think you dropped these, Mr. Lucas.

Nur eine Waffe taugt:

die Wunde schliesst

der Speer nur, der sie schlug.

 

Sei heil, entsündigt und gesühnt!

Denn ich verwalte nun dein Amt.

Gesegnet sei dein Leiden,

das Mitleid’s höchste Kraft

und reinsten Wissens Macht

dem zagen Thoren gab !

 

Den heil'gen Speer -

ich bring' ihn euch zurück !

Fine. Because you demanded it:

As a great Elf-king once said: Know who you are!

This thread is getting an awful lot of spambots for some reason...

And what's up with the fashion show?

Well, at least it's not s'pork.

"Princess Leia" was a disappointing series overall. Here's hoping next week's "Lando" is better. "Darth Vader" #7 had some moments.

Yes, indeed it was. Aside from some nice cover art and the flashbacks to Leia's childhood in the second issue, the entire mini-series was a waste -- a bland, shoddily-drawn, under-developed, utterly pointless waste.

I've heard virtually nothing but good things about Mark Waid's writing, but so far I haven't read anything from him which isn't either meh or lousy; this story falls into the latter category. I seriously hope he never writes for the SW Universe ever again.

I was hoping Aphra wouldn't do something to incite Vader's wrath so soon but it was bound to happen. I was always incredulous to why she was such a sycophant when she was introduced.

Inept writing is probably the answer.

More like her trying to win favor with Vader which made her privy to information that could lead her to getting currency. I have no idea what inept writing would have to do with it.

Sounds promising but the proof is in the pudding. Marvel so far has completely floundered with their Star Wars efforts, save for the one series not written by a Marvel regular.

Death Star's still sporting the shockwave, I see.

I hate that goddamn shockwave.

That said, though, I love that cover.  This sounds like a series I'll actually be tempted to check out.

What, you mean the Praxis wave? (Or the "Kunst wave," as I think they call it in certain parts of Massachusetts.)

I don't like it either. Too anachronistic.

That's just silly. Vader is Vader, not Kyle Katarn.
