I think they handled it pretty well despite the shitty premise. The “duel” would have been less than 10 seconds if it were in film or TV and it sewed the seeds of Vader finding out he had a son. Though he could have found that out some other way such as having looking at Luke through a security recording and seeing his old lightsaber and putting two and two together later on.

Meh, it was awful. Vader’s quest for the pilot who destroyed the Death Star in the original Marvel run was pretty epic. Through multiple issues he hunted down any leads he could find to discover the name of the pilot before he finally succeeded:

Very cool but a bit of a continuity snag in hindsight as Vader’s reaction isn’t quite what it would be considering the revelations of certain film yet to be released at the time.

Well, there is also Dark Horse’s version of how Vader discovered Luke’s identity. In that story, Vader goes into a batshit homicidal panic attack when he learns the news.

I think I prefer Marvel’s original version.

Wait, wasn’t the Marvel comics officially part of the EU even when Dark Horse had the comic licence? So how can there be two versions?

(PS I wasn’t even born on the 70’s, and apart from the slightly off “narration”, I much prefer the Marvel version. Also I hate how the post ROTS Vader always has to throw a tantrum over everything, I much prefer the calmer Vader from the 70’s.)

Back in the '90s, the Marvel Comics weren’t really considered canon within the EU, so aside from a few tiny borrowed elements, they weren’t taken into account when new stories were written. But then came the 2000s, and the anal retentive fanboys took charge of the madhouse.
