All this backlash against the Darth Vader comic is amusing. I mean it's a comic about a Dark Lord of the Sith, of course you're going to get killed by him if you enter his chambers and see what's under the helmet. I mean, I didn't hear anyone complaining when Vader snapped a stormtrooper's neck when the trooper saw his face.

That stormtrooper ( probably ) wasn't a proud strong independent woman! Are you trying to suggest that men deserve to be treated the same way as women when they've been given advantage after advantage for hundreds of years under the patriarchy? Disgusting misogynist.

I like it personally. Looks like something the empire would have been rolling around with if it continued to exist.

Also i think they have the best storm trooper armour next to the clones.

It's not that bad but I really, really dislike their Star Destroyers. The Dreadnought is the worst offender.

I think the dreadnought could have been designed a bit better, but i like their star destroyers a lot, what do you dislike about them?

Thats like... everything the empire used tho :lol:


Would you like their design more if it was a bit bulkier in the mid sections and a bit raised up?

The only real design change i would make would be to make their bridge section a bit bigger.

Really? I feel like making the bridge bigger is just asking for someone to ram a fighter into it.

Honestly the FO just seems like they took "well the Empire did this so we need to do it too" way past it's logical conclusion and off to the point of absurdity.

Very true, though I think it’s more “The Empire did this, so we need to do it too, but bigger!”. It’s like their cosplaying but they couldn’t get the look quite right.

Wasn’t this the same darth Vader who choked out his pregnant wife, tried murdering his best friend, murdered kids, his colleagues, betrayed everything he ever stood for under the guise of saving said choked out wife, instigated a authoritarian galactic empire, slaughtered THOUSANDS over the course of his career, blew up his daughters homeworld, had his daughter tortured, tried killing his son several times over the course of 6 or so years?

And people are complaining because he killed some lowly woman?

Did I mention that he had his half brother and his wife burned alive?

Because it was any less subtle that the Empire were Space Nazis too?

Mostly because Lucas cribbed huge chunks of the cinematography for EP4 from Riefenstahl.
