The first “Star Wars” and “Darth Vader” comics are really stupid, I stopped reading at around issues #8-10. They keep throwing back to the PT and making a bunch of stupid decisions and really derailed the story. Rather than making an adventure set between ANH and ESB, they’ve gone in and just filled it with PT retcons and strange EU-based crap. Ugh
Like Luke getting into a lightsaber duel prior to TESB, or something more idiotic?
Like that, here’s just a few:
-Darth Vader having his own protocol droid and Astromech Droid
-Han Solo’s ex-girlfriend showing up to help in her “unmodified” model of the millenium falcon.
-Darth Vader going to Geonosis to destroy the rest of the droid factory
-A group of people who use the force and yellow lightsabers but are neither on the side of the rebellion/jedi or the empire. They just talk shit to Darth Vader before getting their asses killed, went nowhere.
-Someone (from the Empire era) is a huge fan of PT-era technology and makes hybrid droids as well as this abomination
-Luke is actually on the run from Boba Fett for a long time before his introduction in ESB, he just never decided to bring him up as a heads up to Han and Leia
-Leia remembers her mom because holograms of Padme were shown to her as a little girl, this doesn’t even solve the issue that Leia remembers her being “very kind but sad” and it also HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DARTH VADER! I don’t know why this is in the vader comics!
Another thing is the planets they visit are very uninteresting. They either spend most of their time in buildings/bunkers/ships or on PT-era planets like this
