I think it's pretty obvious Vader's lying about Luke. He would never reveal his true intentions or relationship with him to anyone, so of course he would say the usual 'he's weak'
@@DarthVader0001 I mean you might still blame her for your padawan? One reason she was under further investigation was because of her conspiring with bounty hunter Asaaj Ventress
Sounded to me like when Vader said "He is weak. He will die." he wasnt meaning "Because I will kill him" and more "Because he lacks the power and training to survive being forced to fight me". Like an allusion to what happens in Return of The Jedi where Luke only starts gaining groud as he begins to accidentally channel The Dark Side. Only to get dropped by The Senete's Sith Lightning when he refuses to commit.
Random one shot villain: gee! I’ve never killed a skywalker before *puts Luke in relative danger* Darth vader: _AND YOU NEVER WILL!_ *psycho Lightsaber chainsaw noises.*
5:25 Vader actually stopped Luke’s strike on palpatine because it wasn’t the right time for palpatine to die. He still had dark side intensions and thought Luke wasn’t emotionally ready for the kill. Luke could still stay in the light and return to his friends. But, if he killed palpatine later, then Luke would more than likely fall to the dark side. The source is from the Return Of The Jedi Novelization
For anyone lost: So basically back in May their is this current Arc called “War of the Bounty Hunters” crossover event where all the current Star Wars comics tie in. The basic premise is essentially a canon version of Shadows of the Empire. Boba Fett temporary losses Han Solo and has to get him back for Jaba.
There are a lot of comics here that are a part of this larger story with solo. Right now, The War of The Bounty Hunters is the name for the over-arching story of what happened in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi. Basically, Boba did not deliver solo immediately after Empire. First he went after Nako Laash, a previous employer of his that betrayed him and his crew many years ago. She re-emerged and he hunted her down and killed her. After this, Boba realized that han's carbonite was unstable and so he went to his friend, Doc Ragon, to get it stabilized. Boba doesn't have money to pay Doc Ragon up front, so they strike a deal that if Boba can kill a target for Ragon, then he will stabilize Solo's carbonite. Boba kills the target, but before he can retrieve Solo, someone kills Doc Ragon and steals solo. This leads Boba on a massive chase which leads to him finding that the crimson Dawn are the ones who stole Solo, and are holding an auction to sell him. Boba infiltrates the auction and before he springs into action to take Solo back, Vader enters the auction and demands Solo comes with him. This is a massive over-simplification, but this is a very rough summary of the war of the bounty hunters comics as it pertains to why Solo isn't with Boba.
But I always wondered, why did it took so long for luke and leia to save solo if they knew from the very beginning that he was captured by boba for Jabba. At least that comic series kind of show that solo was pass around making it really tough to save him
@@WillieHoule I mean he was taken to jabba the crimelords palace. They could have done an entire comic series on getting all the information, positions and power to feel like they could save him successfully. having it be the bounty hunters who all him really dumb, durge is cool and there are cool characters but the plot has been really lacking.
I kinda prefer how the movies show it; Fett gets Solo, then we see Fett and Solo at the Palace. Simply Fett flew Han to Jabba. Not every scene transition needs some huge adventure
Did you know that the new vader comics don't add up with the new star wars canon. If Vader knew about exegol then why didn't anakin tell luke about it? That doesn't make any sense
He’s probably also doing it to fool Palpatine too since the guy can literally sense his mind and his intentions no matter where he goes. If he convinces himself that he wants to kill Luke then Palpatine might be fooled as well.
"He will join us or die, Master" "Don't make me destroy you" "Luke: I will not turn. And you'll forced to kill me." "Vader: If that is your destiny." "If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny." Vader ideally wants for Luke to join him and overthrow the Emperor, *BUT* if that can't be achieved then Luke is a threat that needs to be removed. Vader clearly doesn't wish that, but he will do what must be done. It's the whole reason why he slinks back to Palpatine's side while he is electrocuting Luke, before his change of heart. I think it is erroneous to just say that Greg Pak is "misunderstanding" or "mischaracterizing" Vader here. Also, while you are free to your opinion, I don't think Vader was trying to save Luke from striking down the Emperor. If he didn't want Luke to fall to the Dark Side why did he continue to taught Luke to "give yourself to the Dark Side?" Vader didn't full have a change of heart until Luke refused to strike him down. Vader protecting Palpatine was ment to show the hold the Emperor had over him.
Probably. Buy ALL our shitty comics & be massively disappointed, instead of just mildly depressed. Terrible. In one of them, Sly Moore gets her hand cut off, then about 2 panels later it's back??! A critical failure.
@@bobrobson3397 Uhh, maybe she didn't get her hand cut off? I'd recommend you to watch the Comic readings from Kyle Katarn on RUclips. I don't buy the comics either but i'd give the readings a try, it's actually really dope! They actually had a big plan for this crossover, unlike the sequel trilogy!
@@niedless6826 I kinda checked out the moment "oh-geez" & "it's a girl!" were referenced. Loved the early comics like "Vader down", then they had to go & crap all over them by connecting them to those piece of shit movies. Now, I just go to Star Wars Comics Story channel & read the old stuff like "Legacy" & "Tales of the Jedi", etc. F**K Dismay.
@@bobrobson3397 I really don't like the Exegol stuff either, it's a desperate try to fix the movie. But the War of Bounty Hunters is actually a dope reboot of the earlier EU comics about what happened to Boba and his bounty between 5-6. There are many big Star Wars RUclipsrs who responded very positively to the crossover. Believe me, it's worth checking out it's reviews at least.
@@niedless6826 OK, thanks for the tip. I'll check 'em out. These vast, interconnected enterprises always kinda strike me as cynical marketing exercises. I've argued the point before with E.U. lovers that mistakenly thought I thought the same about the E.U. but were mistaken. Continuity is essential, & a different thing entirely. Dismay know NOTHING about continuity. The Mauler YT channel has 4 or 5 separate videos totalling about 15 or more hours where he spends the ENTIRETY of that time listing every single continuity error, embarrassing mistake & black hole of plot armour & character development in the sequel trilogy. It's hilarious & irrefutable. Even before the exegol references, the Why?Republic comics turned me off with their "vessel", "geode", "Leo is gay", & lightsabers that break falls by being plunged into a cliff face instead of continuing to sheer through it ALL the way down! Even the writer made a semi-public apology on social media. Just Dismay but, ain't it? With their "the fans are all morons that'll mindlessly consume ANY old garbage we crap out, as long as it's got the 'brand' on it!". Still, thanks anyway, I'll check 'em out. a part of the brand"
If you read War of the Bounty Hunters it explains how Fett lost Solo. Also in addition to that series, the Dr. Aphra, and Star Wars ongoing comics centered on that arc, they all reveal that this auction for Solo is pretty much leading to something that’s going to be quite epic that’s going to involve a lot of characters; Vader included. And it may even have it where we see a fight between two characters that we haven’t seen since the Darkhorse comics.
I feel like Vader was always conflicted by Luke. A part of him knows how much he sacrificed to get to where he is and he wants to use Luke to overthrow the Emperor, a part of him sees Luke as a threat to his position and wants to kill him and a part of him just truly loves him as a son. As the story progresses he gets redeemed, if Luke appearing was just a lightswitch trigger to redemption it would be boring. I think this comic does a good job of showing Vaders conflict In their final confrontation Vader fights with the power of the darkside but the connection is weakened by how much he loves Luke. To me that final fight was more about protecting Luke from making the same mistakes he did. When Luke got the drop on him and Sidious was killing him that was the final push Vader needed for redemption.
Boba fett had to take a pit stop to fix the carbonite because something was wrong with it but he didn’t have enough money to get it fixed so he had to kill a rival of the man fixing the carbonite for compensation. While boba was out doing that, han was stolen by Q’ira and taken to crimson dawn headquarters where he is being auctioned and that’s all we know so far. It’s all explained in the war of the bounty hunter comics.
@@mrbonjangle he's not though. the comic's actually pretty badass. while han gets stolen, boba's fighting in an arena under his father's name, cuts a duro's head off, and fucking mutilates a sentient spider girl
I feel like the video and every comment I've read here is missing the point of the "Vader wanting to destroy Luke" thing. A WHOLE YEAR PASSES BETWEEN ESB AND ROTJ. The point of this part of the series is: *Growing Vader’s conflicted feelings for Luke* . Throughout the first arc of "Darth Vader" (2020), Vader is very clearly unsure about how he feels about Luke, once the latter rejects his offer to join him on Bespin. On the one hand, he is strong, so very powerful in the Force… much like himself, when he was younger. And yet his reliance on his friends and allies leaves much to be desired. It’s a weakness that Vader wasn’t prepared for. Gotta keep in mind, up until this point, Vader only sees Luke as an opportunity to overthrow the Emperor, like any Sith would. Like Dooku did with Asajj and Savage, or Maul did with Ezra. But when Luke rejects him… that does something to him. Is Luke *really* apprentice material? And is it so bad if he isn’t? He needs more info. But the journey he embarks on to discover more about what happened to Padmé Amidala leaves him even more conflicted. He thought she died thinking he was a monster… and now here she is saying that there’s actually good deep down within him. Despite everything he did to her, despite the fact that he betrayed her, her beloved Republic, everything she stood for… she still believed in him. Could she be right? But before Vader can properly process all this information, the Emperor reignites his rage by shredding him to bits and hunting him down. So after everything Sidious does to him, Vader’s reaction to the problem that is Luke is *doubling down* on his stance. Padmé believed there’s still good in him? She’s wrong! Luke finds it hard to believe a monster such as him could be his father? He’s wrong! There is *no more* good in him. He *is* a monster! And Luke *should* be scared! Cuz if there’s anything Vader has learned from his misadventures on Mustafar and Exegol, it’s that there can only be one Sith Apprentice. And he will *not* be replaced, no matter what the Emperor’s wishes are. Because he has sacrificed too much to get to a point where he is irreplaceable, whereas Luke isn’t even able to sacrifice his own friends. And so, this means Luke must die, as per the way of the Sith. Now, obviously, we, the readers, *know* where this is all headed. Vader is grandstanding. He’s stomping his foot and going “oh yeah, you think I’m good?!” and doing something evil to prove that he isn’t. So Vader is clearly hyping himself up, he’s trying to tell himself that he can kill Luke… but he will never be able to bring himself to do so. We know that, as usual, Vader is lying to himself. And Luke will soon come to realize this too. So when, a year later, they finally confront each other, Vader can lie and put on a show as much as he wants, he can keep playing the villain… but Luke won’t give up. And when the time comes to make a choice, instead of acting like a Sith (as Vader and Sidious expect him to) and kill him to take his place... Luke will act as a Jedi and spare his life.
Great analysis. I arrived at the same conclusion. Vader is angry at Luke because he rejected him. He rejected the Dark Side in favour of his friends. Luke is "weak" because of his love for his friends. Not to mention why would Vader tip his hand to Sly Moore? What's he gonna do, rave about how much he loves his son and how much he wants him to join him? His response makes perfect sense.
The comics are attempting to explain the change in Vader between TESB and ROTJ. In Empire, Vader tries to convince Luke to join him and destroy the Emperor. But in ROTJ, Vader seems to have given up on that plan. He tells Luke, "You don't know the power of the dark side. I must obey my master." He also says, "The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now." Why would he say that instead of trying to plan an attack on Palpatine with Luke right then? It would have been a golden opportunity. So it seems like something happened to cause Vader to double down on his obedience to Palpatine, and this is what these comics are attempting to explain. But we know that deep down Vader never wanted to kill Luke.
I noticed that awhile back after many years. It's a bit of a plot hole that Vader's motivation is completely different in ROTJ and it's never explained.
In regards to IG88 i thought they had took the legends thing where IG88 is 4 units (A-D), I assume this arc will end with Boba triumphant and then Jabba will buy Solo from him again and I think Vaders lying about Luke because if he made it clear he wanted to keep him alive it would make Luke more of a target
@@seanpawley6726 That and and I feel like he's trying to dislike everything that modern Lucasfilm is making in general, with the exception of Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau with their Mando-Verse or The Bad Batch. I don't know how it's bad that this Vader series is trying to connect a few things to the sequels. I mean, these people wanted to see the explanation for some things, now they're getting it and it's still wrong. That doesn't make sense to me. And it was quite obvious that this Vader series is a crossover. So many channels talked about it. Shouldn't he know that? I mean, he's the biggest Star Wars Fan Channel on RUclips, I think. Either he didn't know it or he knew it but he ignored it to be able to criticize this series. Both options are just strange.
@starwarstheory In war of the bounty hunter comic , Han Solo carbonite is kinda broken and boba have to stop and fix it , and then he got no money to pay , and then boba enter tournament to get the money and then when he gets back Han Solo carbonite is already stolen by the crimson dawn .
That's an interesting theory about why Vader blocked Luke's strike against Palpatine in ROTJ however I don't think Vader did that to intentionally prevent Luke from striking the emperor down in anger to stop him from going down the same path as he did. Moments after that duel of theirs started he egged Luke on by enraging him about going after his sister. I think the real reason he stopped Luke from killing the emperor was because he did not want him to 1. steal his kill and 2. for giving the emperor exactly what he wanted.
Vader tells Palpatine "He will join us or die". To your point he could just be saying that to say that. Either way, you skip over that detail when you are confused about if this is new for Canon.
I believe it's been said that both Palpatine and Vader were essentially playing each other by that time. Vader was still buying time to be able to turn and train Luke (Palpatine wanted him dead).while Palpatine was allowing Vader to believe they would turn and train Luke together ( remember how long that lasted).
You know, I think it’s just vader playing the long con when he talks about killing Luke. I think he knows the emperor has eyes and ears everywhere and can really only trust himself with the actual plan, the plan being that Vader wants to kill palp, and take Luke as his apprentice, where as anakin wants redemption and to make everything right.
Theory, you're just getting into the "tie-in" problem that a lot of comics have when it comes to events. The story gets interrupted by whatever else is happening at the time. To be honest tho, Vader's role in this War of the Bounty Hunters storyline actually fits with his motivations specially if we compare it to Shadows of the Empire. He's trying everything he can to gain access to Luke, so adquiring Han's frozen body is more than a logical step in order to reach his goal. You need to read the other stuff in order to see the full picture, that's how it works.
There are multiple IG-88s, 4 if I remember correctly. When they die their knowledge is sent to the remaining copies. I think the final one dies after briefly, basically becoming the Death Star by hacking into it shortly before it's destroyed in Return of the Jedi.
A new comic series has been running for the last few months called the War of the Bounty Hunters and is a comic crossover and it's about how boba brings Solo to Jabba. Cool Video keep it Up Love you content and wish you the best
I will @ Greg Pak with this video. I thought it should have ended after the Amidala stuff was resolved. Would like to see what you think of the one-shots in the War of the Bounty Hunters.
The whole “War of the Bounty Hunters” story starts with Boba having issues keeping Han in cryostasis in the carbonite, so he takes him to one of his friends who is a specialist. While he’s waiting for Han to be stabilized, I’m pretty sure it was 4-LOM and Zuckass (though I could be wrong) that steal Han from him. Han changes hands a few times and that is why Han Solo hasn’t made it to Jabba’s Palace yet and is the object of a bidding war hosted by Qi’ra, who is now the leader of Crimson Dawn.
They didn't steal han from him, they tried to figure out where han is. Boba killed them and took 4-LOM's head to figure out why boba has a bounty on his head. This takes place after Crimson Dawn has stolen Solo
In the previous issue and this one, i think it’s made clear that after what happened on Exegol, Vader actually wants to kill Luke now to secure his position. He might have actually managed to overcome his inner conflict for the time being. But I think that something will happen that makes that conflict re-emerge, and if he meets with Luke it might be what makes Luke want to turn his father back to the light, because right now Luke is kind of indifferent/against Vader.
You should definitely read the War of the Bounty Hunters comics…the first issue was amazing and overall the comics have been good so far. It’s a crossover event going on right now explaining the events between Episode V and VI so it makes a lot more sense if you’re caught up. Only 2/5 out of the main issues have been released along with a Prelude Alpha comic.
I wish Star Wars would make a series like Marvels What If series. So what if Anakin never tried to go for the high ground. Or what if Anakin saved his mom. What if Qui Gon Gin never died and trained Anakin. The What Ifs are endless, and you can do 10 seasons of that easily. What if Windu killed Palpatine. What if Luke didnt try and Kill Ben Solo. What if Yoda was a sith. What if Padme lived. I think you should get with an animator and make your own series on YT and do that. I know you have actually done stuff like that before. But continue it. The what ifs, are endless. I can't believe they are doing it for Marvel but don't realize the biggest franchise ever Star Wars is right there to do it with too, which literally could go on forever with so many amazing stories and theories and "What Ifs"
I think that won't be such fun.... Actually leaving these questions open ended can develop many entertaining fan fictions.... Which would be better than one Canon answer
@@suchandradasgupta2026 right! The stories would be endless and the Canon would still be Canon. But a fun way to play around with all the what ifs and the ripple effects one small change could change for the entire universe and future. It could be an animated series just like how they did the clone wars. Like have 1 what if scenario and then the next 3 episodes running with it, telling a short story or movie of how that 1 change could have played out.
@@ions7581 exactly!! I can't believe they haven't ran with this. Especially now that Marvel and Star wars are both under Disney. Like how has creative not drawn parallels and connected the dots and go omg this what if idea would work way better with Star Wars then even Marvel.
If you aren’t reading War of The Bounty Hunters as a whole you won’t really understand everything that’s going on and how it’s coming together. Since may 4th there has been a new issue every week, and it’ll be 34 issues total in the War of the Bounty Hunters series
All the current comics (except High Republic of course) are tying in to the War of the Bounty Hunters. The end of each comic even shows the chronology - or you can just read each one as they get released every week. They are actually doing a pretty great job with all these blending together. Nothing is being retconned here.
General Kenobi here. I have a question and i know it has nothing to do with this video but i need to ask. Throughout the clone wars series we see more than once clones saying that they're meant to be expendable and war is a bad thing but if it wasn't for the war they wouldn't even exist. But later we see that most of the clones execute order 66 and become part of the Empire, giving them a new purpose. My question is, if the Republic won the war and Palpatine didn't betray the Republic and created the Empire, what would they do with the clones? Would they be integrated into the society or would they all be sent to one planet to live the rest of their days?
Is this comic trying to tie in some Legends material? Didn't Boba detour after collecting Han, then lost him for a bit? I bet Boba still ultimately makes the delivery, but I'll be curious to see how that all plays out.
You have to read the War of the Bounty Hunters run that is happening right now to fully understand what’s going on. It is a big crossover event that’s tying in every Star Wars comic run right now (Aphra, Bounty Hunters, SW, & Darth Vader of course). The current Darth Vader run is in the War of the Bounty Hunters arc. Essentially, Boba lost Han on the way to deliver him and now he’s on a mission to get him back. The big catch is Jabba assumed Boba had sold Han, so now Jabba had put a bounty on Boba as punishment. As a result, every Bounty Hunter in the galaxy is on the hunt for Boba while he tries to get Han back. Without going into further detail, there are a few surprises that every SW fan will find interesting and some tie ins to other movies as well. This comic run has a good chance of tying into the upcoming Book of Boba series coming out in December in my opinion. I’d highly recommend catching up on this to fully understand what’s going on in this Vader comic because it makes perfect sense once you know.
You got to read war of the bounty hunters comic series as that shows the story of boba fett delivering Han to Jabba and how he loses him and all the other Star Wars comics are linking to this event
The parts you are missing and confused about are in the other comics. Doctor Aphra, Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, and War of the Bounty Hunters. It's a cross comic tie in story. Basically Crimson Dawn stole Solo, and invited the Empire and every other crime syndicate to the auction. Eventually, Boba will get Solo back and deliver him to Jabba to clear the bounty on his head, and get back in Jabba's good graces.
I believe that there were actually three IG-88s active during the events of empire strikes back, one was killed by Boba Fett on cloud city, another uploaded his program onto the Death Star 2’s main computer, and the third was still active after the battle of Endor. (Of course this was mostly legends material so I can’t say for sure if that explains it).
Thanks for uploading these comics man! Really appreciate your breakdowns, I don’t really buy any of the comics so it’s good that you make them available for us as well!
this breakdown is horrible, look up annother. theory doesn't even know what a crossover is, no wonder he is confused. it's like watching episode 3, 6 and 9 of a show and raging about it not making much sense
"Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him" I kinda find the word destroy hard to interpret with Vader much like word die. Which I suppose it could mean a not so literal death from a certain point of view and there is thinking something but not wishing it when it comes to that. I think vader is just being moody like sith can be at times and is just saying it.
oof, they really lost me here. Boba is working for Jabba since episode 4 as we can see him (in the special addition) wandering around with the other bountyhunters by Jabbas side... And the thing about Vader wanting to kill luke.. not really sure what their intention there was
The Vader comics are now part of a crossover. You simply have to read the other comics to understand the plot now. It's pretty weird Theory doesn't know about this while every other Star Wars RUclipsr does.
I understand there's a lot of stuff to keep track of but you would think the most subbed Star Wars channel would know that a huge crossover event is happening.
Thank you so much Theory for keeping up with your channel! Your smile is contagious! And you are totally somebody that I respect and would strive to be! Staying true to yourself is incredibly inspiring!! Thanks @starwarstheory!!
If you didn't read the previous Comics it's because he began to doubt again when the emperor saw what he was planning in such a large scale which was the Star Destroyer Fleet, seeing the scope of what Sidious was doing he was again brought under his wing as a loyal apprentice, when the time came when Luke managed to reach the Emperor he started to doubt again if that was what he truly believed.
Boba Fett’s failure is probably explained in the bounty Hunter comics. War of the bounty hunters is a crossover between Star Wars, Darth Vader, Bounty Hunters and Doctor Aphra involving Han Solo, who Fett somehow lost. I haven’t read all of the Bounty Hunter issues yet but in the first one Boba Fett gets a transmission that’s important to him. Even though he’s about to enter Tatooine this thing is so important he leaves without even entering the planet with Han still in the ship. So somehow in the comics he lost Solo and he’s now being auctioned.
this is several different Comics colliding into one comic with every Star Wars faction crime syndicate and pirate group one place and solo has betrayed or double cross every single one of them and Crimson Dawn is selling after stealing from Boba Fett several different, comics converging on one point and it could be any Star Wars comic it could be a Boba Fett comic good doctor Aphra, comic a Rebel's comic and as you see here a Darth Vader comic and every Syndicate from Crimson Dawn the Pikes black Sun the huts the Empire that the Rebellion small pirate games criminal organizations and more it shall be chaos and Jabba put a bounty on Boba Fett because he feels he double-crossed him and gave Han Solo to someone else
Vader didn’t want to kill the emperor in canon. What would happen if he did? The entire imperial chain of command would fall apart and the empire would disintegrate. Vader is not a politician and could not take the Emperors place.
Only reason why I could see this play off (at least the han solo auction) is that Vader thought the bespin trap would work (so giving Fett Solo’s carbonite body was inconsequential) and when it didnt he needed solo again to set another trap.
Overall I like what they've done with making everything try to fit a unified canon, but it seems like on the comics side of things they're making things unnecessarily complicated. I guess we'll see how things end up panning out, but it feels like they're sort of grasping at straws to fill in some blanks. That's not necessarily a criticism so much as it's an observation. The books have all been incredible, though! I thought that "Heir to the Jedi" was a little bit meh, though. However, it was amazing seeing how Luke Skywalker was able to use logic to reason out what kinds of powers could be available through the force and why the dark side was dangerous even though he didn't even know exactly what the dark side was at that point.
All the IGs are connected anyway right? One guy built the 1st then the original built the rest or something like that? I dont remember where i heard it but this is a place to start looking around
There were multiple copies of IG-88, but there was one that died in Return of the Jedi. See the book Tales of the Bounty Hunters. Unless it changed in disney canon
My understanding of IG-88 is that he is functioning as a hive-mind between the same versions of his model. I think he mentions uploading his consciousness to the new body that gets killed by Vader in this comic.
For the most part, these comics have been pretty creative and entertaining. But also, revisionist. For me, the canon is Episodes 1-6. Anything else is just... authors having fun.
I was so confused how literally the biggest Star Wars RUclipsr didn't know about this. I'm so pissed off how everyone's whining in the comments about Disney now, while they just haven't been informed well enough...
@@niedless6826 certainly a little frustrating that some of the biggest Star Wars RUclipsrs aren’t even aware of this event which is a pretty big deal for the main story line lore…not to mention it’s actually really good content coming out
Vader said Luke was weak and would die so that no-one would go after Luke except him. Why was Boba at Jaba's palace if he failed? He was able to work with Vader and got Vader to give something up, lose it and live, and find out who has Han and where the auction is happening. Not many are able to do all of those. He is also meant to be the best bounty hunter in the Galaxy, and Jaba likes to have the best with him.
I don't know if you still do theory videos, but I thought of an interesting one, what if Anakin stayed on the force planet and took over for the father and kept the brother and sister in balance after the father. Anakin would truly focus on his chosen one powers. He would also learn Force powers beyond sith or Jedi and probably become the most powerful being in the Galaxy
Okay so the whole thing that you're missing is a part of the new comic book series War of the bounty hunters and a Boba Fett had Han Solo stolen under his nose while he was trying to keep solo alive in carbonite and Boba Fett at the moment is trying to get Han Solo back while everyone else is trying to get Han Solo for themselves including Vader and to answer your question about ig-88 he has multiple bodies and my Siri is that Boba Fett will eventually steal solo from Vader and bring it solo to Jabba
It’s all plainer by the war of the bounty hunters comic, but the short recap is crimson dawn and qyra from solo stole Han Solo, then they started a private auction and invited a bunch of bounty hunters, it’s a big comic event that will likely tie into Book of boba Fett, I highly recommend check8mg out some of the other issues.
Off topic but hearing the name Crimson Dawn reminded me that We Need a Canonized Maul vs. Vader fight. I was wishing for it in Bad Batch but I'd take it in comics.
If Boba lost Solo and someone else tried to auction him off that would explain things but I have a feeling the auction doesn't go so smoothly and Boba manages to get him back
I feel like you need to just take a step back from the killing like perspective. Don’t forget what Vader has just gone through in these comics, his mind is constantly being twisted through pain and fear. He doesn’t know what he truly wants after his recent trials.
I think Jabba was, at first, under the impression boba was trying to sell Han from under him. Just a mix up since boba sincerely lost Han. Hopefully they explain later why he was at Jabba’s in ROTJ. As for IG-88, no clue
I think it's pretty obvious Vader's lying about Luke. He would never reveal his true intentions or relationship with him to anyone, so of course he would say the usual 'he's weak'
"LOOOOOKE, LOOOOOKE" -Darth Vader

Like an allusion to what happens in Return of The Jedi where Luke only starts gaining groud as he begins to accidentally channel The Dark Side. Only to get dropped by The Senete's Sith Lightning when he refuses to commit.
"He will join us or die master"...Vader is playing the game. He never wanted to kill Luke, but he makes it look like it so as to not tip his hand
Shhh...you’ll spoil the suprise
@@DarthVader0001 lmao
Random one shot villain: gee! I’ve never killed a skywalker before *puts Luke in relative danger*
Darth vader: _AND YOU NEVER WILL!_ *psycho Lightsaber chainsaw noises.*
I mean considering their condition is just natural that they give each other a hand
@@barombolobombolo1501 Force knows they both need one.
5:25 Vader actually stopped Luke’s strike on palpatine because it wasn’t the right time for palpatine to die. He still had dark side intensions and thought Luke wasn’t emotionally ready for the kill. Luke could still stay in the light and return to his friends. But, if he killed palpatine later, then Luke would more than likely fall to the dark side.
The source is from the Return Of The Jedi Novelization
For anyone lost: So basically back in May their is this current Arc called “War of the Bounty Hunters” crossover event where all the current Star Wars comics tie in. The basic premise is essentially a canon version of Shadows of the Empire. Boba Fett temporary losses Han Solo and has to get him back for Jaba.
He loses him while he is frozen? Lol
@@affebanane3039 It makes sense if you read the story.
@@affebanane3039 hes stolen by qira from solo.
@@Desjarlais07 she's from solo
There are a lot of comics here that are a part of this larger story with solo. Right now, The War of The Bounty Hunters is the name for the over-arching story of what happened in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi. Basically, Boba did not deliver solo immediately after Empire. First he went after Nako Laash, a previous employer of his that betrayed him and his crew many years ago. She re-emerged and he hunted her down and killed her. After this, Boba realized that han's carbonite was unstable and so he went to his friend, Doc Ragon, to get it stabilized. Boba doesn't have money to pay Doc Ragon up front, so they strike a deal that if Boba can kill a target for Ragon, then he will stabilize Solo's carbonite. Boba kills the target, but before he can retrieve Solo, someone kills Doc Ragon and steals solo. This leads Boba on a massive chase which leads to him finding that the crimson Dawn are the ones who stole Solo, and are holding an auction to sell him. Boba infiltrates the auction and before he springs into action to take Solo back, Vader enters the auction and demands Solo comes with him. This is a massive over-simplification, but this is a very rough summary of the war of the bounty hunters comics as it pertains to why Solo isn't with Boba.
Yeah that’s ducking dumb
But I always wondered, why did it took so long for luke and leia to save solo if they knew from the very beginning that he was captured by boba for Jabba. At least that comic series kind of show that solo was pass around making it really tough to save him
@@WillieHoule I mean he was taken to jabba the crimelords palace. They could have done an entire comic series on getting all the information, positions and power to feel like they could save him successfully.
having it be the bounty hunters who all him really dumb, durge is cool and there are cool characters but the plot has been really lacking.
I kinda prefer how the movies show it; Fett gets Solo, then we see Fett and Solo at the Palace. Simply Fett flew Han to Jabba. Not every scene transition needs some huge adventure
@@KoalaTContent Then it begs the question of why they took so long to go get Han.
Did you know that the new vader comics don't add up with the new star wars canon. If Vader knew about exegol then why didn't anakin tell luke about it? That doesn't make any sense
Oh yeah
That guy already about to die
He forgot hinself as Vader
And he muttered a few words , what you expect??
@@sanstheelumbu He bacame a force ghost, he had infinite time to tell him
Obviously
@@sanstheelumbu my man had his whole afterlife to tell luke
Vader might be trying to convince himself he has to kill him. Even though deep down Vader dosen't want to kill Luke.
He’s probably also doing it to fool Palpatine too since the guy can literally sense his mind and his intentions no matter where he goes. If he convinces himself that he wants to kill Luke then Palpatine might be fooled as well.
Star wars theory should heart this if he reads this
You need to read the other War of the Bounty Hunters issues to understand what is happening. It is kinda like Shadows of the Empire in some ways.
"He will join us or die, Master"
"Don't make me destroy you"
"Luke: I will not turn. And you'll forced to kill me." "Vader: If that is your destiny."
"If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny."
Vader ideally wants for Luke to join him and overthrow the Emperor, *BUT* if that can't be achieved then Luke is a threat that needs to be removed. Vader clearly doesn't wish that, but he will do what must be done. It's the whole reason why he slinks back to Palpatine's side while he is electrocuting Luke, before his change of heart. I think it is erroneous to just say that Greg Pak is "misunderstanding" or "mischaracterizing" Vader here.
Also, while you are free to your opinion, I don't think Vader was trying to save Luke from striking down the Emperor. If he didn't want Luke to fall to the Dark Side why did he continue to taught Luke to "give yourself to the Dark Side?" Vader didn't full have a change of heart until Luke refused to strike him down. Vader protecting Palpatine was ment to show the hold the Emperor had over him.
This comic is a part of the War of the Bounty Hunters crossover comic event. There it explains why Han Solo is up for auction.
Luke is Vader’s only family no matter what’s happened to him he’ll never want to kill him. Simple logic if you really know Vader/Anakin.
This ☝🏻
This hits me where I live
@@DarthVader0001 even you confirmed it lmaooooo
This Vader Comic is just ONE part of the whole crossover. You have to read the other comics to understand how every character got to the auction.
Probably. Buy ALL our shitty comics & be massively disappointed, instead of just mildly depressed. Terrible. In one of them, Sly Moore gets her hand cut off, then about 2 panels later it's back??! A critical failure.
@@bobrobson3397 Uhh, maybe she didn't get her hand cut off? I'd recommend you to watch the Comic readings from Kyle Katarn on RUclips. I don't buy the comics either but i'd give the readings a try, it's actually really dope! They actually had a big plan for this crossover, unlike the sequel trilogy!
@@niedless6826 I kinda checked out the moment "oh-geez" & "it's a girl!"
were referenced. Loved the early comics like "Vader down", then they had to go & crap all over them
by connecting them to those piece of shit movies. Now, I just go to Star Wars Comics Story channel & read the old stuff like "Legacy" & "Tales of the Jedi", etc. F**K Dismay.
@@bobrobson3397 I really don't like the Exegol stuff either, it's a desperate try to fix the movie. But the War of Bounty Hunters is actually a dope reboot of the earlier EU comics about what happened to Boba and his bounty between 5-6. There are many big Star Wars RUclipsrs who responded very positively to the crossover. Believe me, it's worth checking out it's reviews at least.
@@niedless6826 OK, thanks for the tip. I'll check 'em out. These vast, interconnected enterprises always kinda strike me as cynical marketing exercises. I've argued the point before with E.U. lovers that mistakenly thought I thought the same about the E.U. but were mistaken. Continuity is essential, &
a different thing entirely. Dismay know NOTHING about continuity. The Mauler YT channel has 4 or 5 separate videos totalling about 15 or more hours where he spends the ENTIRETY of that time listing every single continuity error, embarrassing mistake & black hole of plot armour & character development in the sequel trilogy.
It's hilarious & irrefutable. Even before the exegol references, the Why?Republic comics turned me off with their "vessel", "geode", "Leo is gay", & lightsabers that break falls by being plunged into a cliff face instead of continuing to sheer through it ALL the way down!
Even the writer made a semi-public apology on social media. Just Dismay but, ain't it? With their "the fans are all morons that'll mindlessly consume ANY old garbage we crap out, as long as it's got the 'brand' on it!". Still, thanks anyway, I'll check 'em out.
a part of the brand"
If you read War of the Bounty Hunters it explains how Fett lost Solo. Also in addition to that series, the Dr. Aphra, and Star Wars ongoing comics centered on that arc, they all reveal that this auction for Solo is pretty much leading to something that’s going to be quite epic that’s going to involve a lot of characters; Vader included. And it may even have it where we see a fight between two characters that we haven’t seen since the Darkhorse comics.
Yeah but is any of that cannon
@@TheSYPHERIA All of the Marvel SW content is canon.
I feel like Vader was always conflicted by Luke.
A part of him knows how much he sacrificed to get to where he is and he wants to use Luke to overthrow the Emperor, a part of him sees Luke as a threat to his position and wants to kill him and a part of him just truly loves him as a son.
As the story progresses he gets redeemed, if Luke appearing was just a lightswitch trigger to redemption it would be boring. I think this comic does a good job of showing Vaders conflict
In their final confrontation Vader fights with the power of the darkside but the connection is weakened by how much he loves Luke. To me that final fight was more about protecting Luke from making the same mistakes he did. When Luke got the drop on him and Sidious was killing him that was the final push Vader needed for redemption.
Boba fett had to take a pit stop to fix the carbonite because something was wrong with it but he didn’t have enough money to get it fixed so he had to kill a rival of the man fixing the carbonite for compensation. While boba was out doing that, han was stolen by Q’ira and taken to crimson dawn headquarters where he is being auctioned and that’s all we know so far. It’s all explained in the war of the bounty hunter comics.
Makes boba sound incompetent.
@@mrbonjangle if actually read the story that’s not really the case. Fett basically had to do an favor a la Mandalorian style.
@@mrbonjangle he's not though. the comic's actually pretty badass. while han gets stolen, boba's fighting in an arena under his father's name, cuts a duro's head off, and fucking mutilates a sentient spider girl
@@rorterpobinson62 it’s pretty epic
I feel like the video and every comment I've read here is missing the point of the "Vader wanting to destroy Luke" thing.
A WHOLE YEAR PASSES BETWEEN ESB AND ROTJ. The point of this part of the series is: *Growing Vader’s conflicted feelings for Luke* .
Throughout the first arc of "Darth Vader" (2020), Vader is very clearly unsure about how he feels about Luke, once the latter rejects his offer to join him on Bespin.
On the one hand, he is strong, so very powerful in the Force… much like himself, when he was younger. And yet his reliance on his friends and allies leaves much to be desired. It’s a weakness that Vader wasn’t prepared for.
Gotta keep in mind, up until this point, Vader only sees Luke as an opportunity to overthrow the Emperor, like any Sith would. Like Dooku did with Asajj and Savage, or Maul did with Ezra.
But when Luke rejects him… that does something to him. Is Luke *really* apprentice material? And is it so bad if he isn’t? He needs more info.
But the journey he embarks on to discover more about what happened to Padmé Amidala leaves him even more conflicted. He thought she died thinking he was a monster… and now here she is saying that there’s actually good deep down within him. Despite everything he did to her, despite the fact that he betrayed her, her beloved Republic, everything she stood for… she still believed in him.
Could she be right?
But before Vader can properly process all this information, the Emperor reignites his rage by shredding him to bits and hunting him down.
So after everything Sidious does to him, Vader’s reaction to the problem that is Luke is *doubling down* on his stance.
Padmé believed there’s still good in him? She’s wrong!
Luke finds it hard to believe a monster such as him could be his father? He’s wrong!
There is *no more* good in him. He *is* a monster! And Luke *should* be scared!
Cuz if there’s anything Vader has learned from his misadventures on Mustafar and Exegol, it’s that there can only be one Sith Apprentice.
And he will *not* be replaced, no matter what the Emperor’s wishes are. Because he has sacrificed too much to get to a point where he is irreplaceable, whereas Luke isn’t even able to sacrifice his own friends.
And so, this means Luke must die, as per the way of the Sith.
Now, obviously, we, the readers, *know* where this is all headed.
Vader is grandstanding. He’s stomping his foot and going “oh yeah, you think I’m good?!” and doing something evil to prove that he isn’t.
So Vader is clearly hyping himself up, he’s trying to tell himself that he can kill Luke… but he will never be able to bring himself to do so.
We know that, as usual, Vader is lying to himself.
And Luke will soon come to realize this too.
So when, a year later, they finally confront each other, Vader can lie and put on a show as much as he wants, he can keep playing the villain… but Luke won’t give up.
And when the time comes to make a choice, instead of acting like a Sith (as Vader and Sidious expect him to) and kill him to take his place... Luke will act as a Jedi and spare his life.
Great analysis. I arrived at the same conclusion. Vader is angry at Luke because he rejected him. He rejected the Dark Side in favour of his friends. Luke is "weak" because of his love for his friends.
Not to mention why would Vader tip his hand to Sly Moore? What's he gonna do, rave about how much he loves his son and how much he wants him to join him? His response makes perfect sense.
You're the second Quoran I've recognised in this comments section. Great analysis, I agree.
The comics are attempting to explain the change in Vader between TESB and ROTJ. In Empire, Vader tries to convince Luke to join him and destroy the Emperor. But in ROTJ, Vader seems to have given up on that plan. He tells Luke, "You don't know the power of the dark side. I must obey my master." He also says, "The Emperor will show you the true nature
of the Force. He is your master now." Why would he say that instead of trying to plan an attack on Palpatine with Luke right then? It would have been a golden opportunity. So it seems like something happened to cause Vader to double down on his obedience to Palpatine, and this is what these comics are attempting to explain. But we know that deep down Vader never wanted to kill Luke.
I noticed that awhile back after many years. It's a bit of a plot hole that Vader's motivation is completely different in ROTJ and it's never explained.
In regards to IG88 i thought they had took the legends thing where IG88 is 4 units (A-D), I assume this arc will end with Boba triumphant and then Jabba will buy Solo from him again and I think Vaders lying about Luke because if he made it clear he wanted to keep him alive it would make Luke more of a target
If you don't know then you need to re read it cause they pretty much explain it. Fett lost Solo so this is a part of the story of getting him back
This comic series is a crossover. So you have to read other comics to understand it completely. This is not retconning or "bad writing".
It has War of the Bounty Hunters in the title. i dont know he could miss that
@@seanpawley6726 Same
I feel like he's trying so hard to not like this series.
@@seanpawley6726 That and and I feel like he's trying to dislike everything that modern Lucasfilm is making in general, with the exception of Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau with their Mando-Verse or The Bad Batch. I don't know how it's bad that this Vader series is trying to connect a few things to the sequels. I mean, these people wanted to see the explanation for some things, now they're getting it and it's still wrong. That doesn't make sense to me. And it was quite obvious that this Vader series is a crossover. So many channels talked about it. Shouldn't he know that? I mean, he's the biggest Star Wars Fan Channel on RUclips, I think. Either he didn't know it or he knew it but he ignored it to be able to criticize this series. Both options are just strange.
Vader is very obviously bluffing, he wouldn’t tell someone about his weakness
@starwarstheory In war of the bounty hunter comic , Han Solo carbonite is kinda broken and boba have to stop and fix it , and then he got no money to pay , and then boba enter tournament to get the money and then when he gets back Han Solo carbonite is already stolen by the crimson dawn .
That's an interesting theory about why Vader blocked Luke's strike against Palpatine in ROTJ however I don't think Vader did that to intentionally prevent Luke from striking the emperor down in anger to stop him from going down the same path as he did. Moments after that duel of theirs started he egged Luke on by enraging him about going after his sister. I think the real reason he stopped Luke from killing the emperor was because he did not want him to 1. steal his kill and 2. for giving the emperor exactly what he wanted.
I never read comics, but this is pretty entertaining.
Fr
Vader tells Palpatine "He will join us or die". To your point he could just be saying that to say that. Either way, you skip over that detail when you are confused about if this is new for Canon.
I believe it's been said that both Palpatine and Vader were essentially playing each other by that time. Vader was still buying time to be able to turn and train Luke (Palpatine wanted him dead).while Palpatine was allowing Vader to believe they would turn and train Luke together ( remember how long that lasted).
You know, I think it’s just vader playing the long con when he talks about killing Luke. I think he knows the emperor has eyes and ears everywhere and can really only trust himself with the actual plan, the plan being that Vader wants to kill palp, and take Luke as his apprentice, where as anakin wants redemption and to make everything right.
Theory, you're just getting into the "tie-in" problem that a lot of comics have when it comes to events. The story gets interrupted by whatever else is happening at the time. To be honest tho, Vader's role in this War of the Bounty Hunters storyline actually fits with his motivations specially if we compare it to Shadows of the Empire. He's trying everything he can to gain access to Luke, so adquiring Han's frozen body is more than a logical step in order to reach his goal. You need to read the other stuff in order to see the full picture, that's how it works.
Man you've really perfected Sideous's laugh, good job 👍
There are multiple IG-88s, 4 if I remember correctly. When they die their knowledge is sent to the remaining copies. I think the final one dies after briefly, basically becoming the Death Star by hacking into it shortly before it's destroyed in Return of the Jedi.
A new comic series has been running for the last few months called the War of the Bounty Hunters and is a comic crossover and it's about how boba brings Solo to Jabba. Cool Video keep it Up Love you content and wish you the best
There were lots of IG droids, not only the bounty hunter once’s.
That’s how there was an IG Droid on cloud city.
I will @ Greg Pak with this video. I thought it should have ended after the Amidala stuff was resolved. Would like to see what you think of the one-shots in the War of the Bounty Hunters.
The whole “War of the Bounty Hunters” story starts with Boba having issues keeping Han in cryostasis in the carbonite, so he takes him to one of his friends who is a specialist. While he’s waiting for Han to be stabilized, I’m pretty sure it was 4-LOM and Zuckass (though I could be wrong) that steal Han from him. Han changes hands a few times and that is why Han Solo hasn’t made it to Jabba’s Palace yet and is the object of a bidding war hosted by Qi’ra, who is now the leader of Crimson Dawn.
They didn't steal han from him, they tried to figure out where han is. Boba killed them and took 4-LOM's head to figure out why boba has a bounty on his head. This takes place after Crimson Dawn has stolen Solo
@@zeke1835 Oh yeah, right. I forgot. Thanks for correcting me!
In the previous issue and this one, i think it’s made clear that after what happened on Exegol, Vader actually wants to kill Luke now to secure his position. He might have actually managed to overcome his inner conflict for the time being. But I think that something will happen that makes that conflict re-emerge, and if he meets with Luke it might be what makes Luke want to turn his father back to the light, because right now Luke is kind of indifferent/against Vader.
This is a big comic crossover event that takes place after war of the bounty hunters so you gotta read those aswell
They should have just made this comic series a Disney plus series lol
You should definitely read the War of the Bounty Hunters comics…the first issue was amazing and overall the comics have been good so far. It’s a crossover event going on right now explaining the events between Episode V and VI so it makes a lot more sense if you’re caught up. Only 2/5 out of the main issues have been released along with a Prelude Alpha comic.
I love how you had one of the top comments on the new NELK video last night!!! I was like “Theory watches NELK!!?? Let’s f**king GO!!”
“If there’s any sweatys out there that get it” bro you are the sweaty. If you don’t understand it we sure as hell won’t.
SWT: "This is just a theory"
Me: "That's... why I'm here"
I prefer the Darth Vader 2017 comic storyline.
I wish Star Wars would make a series like Marvels What If series.
So what if Anakin never tried to go for the high ground.
Or what if Anakin saved his mom.
What if Qui Gon Gin never died and trained Anakin.
The What Ifs are endless, and you can do 10 seasons of that easily. What if Windu killed Palpatine.
What if Luke didnt try and Kill Ben Solo.
What if Yoda was a sith.
What if Padme lived.
I think you should get with an animator and make your own series on YT and do that. I know you have actually done stuff like that before. But continue it. The what ifs, are endless. I can't believe they are doing it for Marvel but don't realize the biggest franchise ever Star Wars is right there to do it with too, which literally could go on forever with so many amazing stories and theories and "What Ifs"
I think that won't be such fun.... Actually leaving these questions open ended can develop many entertaining fan fictions.... Which would be better than one Canon answer
That would be cool. It would also prevent them from constantly destroying the old canon.
When they were with Dark Horse Comics, they did release books called "Infinities" which were alternate histories of each OT film.
@@suchandradasgupta2026 right! The stories would be endless and the Canon would still be Canon. But a fun way to play around with all the what ifs and the ripple effects one small change could change for the entire universe and future. It could be an animated series just like how they did the clone wars. Like have 1 what if scenario and then the next 3 episodes running with it, telling a short story or movie of how that 1 change could have played out.
@@ions7581 exactly!! I can't believe they haven't ran with this. Especially now that Marvel and Star wars are both under Disney. Like how has creative not drawn parallels and connected the dots and go omg this what if idea would work way better with Star Wars then even Marvel.
If you aren’t reading War of The Bounty Hunters as a whole you won’t really understand everything that’s going on and how it’s coming together. Since may 4th there has been a new issue every week, and it’ll be 34 issues total in the War of the Bounty Hunters series
Genaral Theory as I have said before I will always support you and give your video a 👍 But I'm with you 💯 On these new book's
so you also don't know how crossovers work?
Some might not acknowledge it but the sound effects really add to the video. Keep those up
All the current comics (except High Republic of course) are tying in to the War of the Bounty Hunters. The end of each comic even shows the chronology - or you can just read each one as they get released every week. They are actually doing a pretty great job with all these blending together. Nothing is being retconned here.
I wish Shadows of the Empire was still canon.
General Kenobi here. I have a question and i know it has nothing to do with this video but i need to ask.
Throughout the clone wars series we see more than once clones saying that they're meant to be expendable and war is a bad thing but if it wasn't for the war they wouldn't even exist. But later we see that most of the clones execute order 66 and become part of the Empire, giving them a new purpose.
My question is, if the Republic won the war and Palpatine didn't betray the Republic and created the Empire, what would they do with the clones?
Would they be integrated into the society or would they all be sent to one planet to live the rest of their days?
Is this comic trying to tie in some Legends material? Didn't Boba detour after collecting Han, then lost him for a bit? I bet Boba still ultimately makes the delivery, but I'll be curious to see how that all plays out.
He did lost him. Qi'ra who now leads Crimson Dawn stole him and is bidding him for auction.
You have to read the War of the Bounty Hunters run that is happening right now to fully understand what’s going on. It is a big crossover event that’s tying in every Star Wars comic run right now (Aphra, Bounty Hunters, SW, & Darth Vader of course). The current Darth Vader run is in the War of the Bounty Hunters arc. Essentially, Boba lost Han on the way to deliver him and now he’s on a mission to get him back. The big catch is Jabba assumed Boba had sold Han, so now Jabba had put a bounty on Boba as punishment. As a result, every Bounty Hunter in the galaxy is on the hunt for Boba while he tries to get Han back. Without going into further detail, there are a few surprises that every SW fan will find interesting and some tie ins to other movies as well. This comic run has a good chance of tying into the upcoming Book of Boba series coming out in December in my opinion. I’d highly recommend catching up on this to fully understand what’s going on in this Vader comic because it makes perfect sense once you know.
You got to read war of the bounty hunters comic series as that shows the story of boba fett delivering Han to Jabba and how he loses him and all the other Star Wars comics are linking to this event
Vader is just playing a ruse, simplest explanation
Shhh...
The parts you are missing and confused about are in the other comics. Doctor Aphra, Star Wars, Bounty Hunters, and War of the Bounty Hunters. It's a cross comic tie in story. Basically Crimson Dawn stole Solo, and invited the Empire and every other crime syndicate to the auction. Eventually, Boba will get Solo back and deliver him to Jabba to clear the bounty on his head, and get back in Jabba's good graces.
I believe that there were actually three IG-88s active during the events of empire strikes back, one was killed by Boba Fett on cloud city, another uploaded his program onto the Death Star 2’s main computer, and the third was still active after the battle of Endor. (Of course this was mostly legends material so I can’t say for sure if that explains it).
Thanks for uploading these comics man! Really appreciate your breakdowns, I don’t really buy any of the comics so it’s good that you make them available for us as well!
this breakdown is horrible, look up annother. theory doesn't even know what a crossover is, no wonder he is confused. it's like watching episode 3, 6 and 9 of a show and raging about it not making much sense
"Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him" I kinda find the word destroy hard to interpret with Vader much like word die. Which I suppose it could mean a not so literal death from a certain point of view and there is thinking something but not wishing it when it comes to that. I think vader is just being moody like sith can be at times and is just saying it.
oof, they really lost me here. Boba is working for Jabba since episode 4 as we can see him (in the special addition) wandering around with the other bountyhunters by Jabbas side...
And the thing about Vader wanting to kill luke.. not really sure what their intention there was
And? Boba is also hired by Vader for bounty reasons as well. Vader also has been conflicted between tricking the Empire and with Luke.
The Vader comics are now part of a crossover. You simply have to read the other comics to understand the plot now. It's pretty weird Theory doesn't know about this while every other Star Wars RUclipsr does.
Yeah you really need to read the other comics in War of the Bounty Hunters series. It explains why Han is being auctioned off.
Say what you will with the new Vader comics, seeing him in beast mode is delicious
Am I the only one who would want to see a "What If.." of Vader and Luke teaming together as Father and Son?
I understand there's a lot of stuff to keep track of but you would think the most subbed Star Wars channel would know that a huge crossover event is happening.
Well when that crosse we is really convoluted, stupid, and somehow boring this shit happens.
It’s why Disney Star Wars is ass
1:21 dude. This is so good lmao
You have to read the rest of the comics
I know these aren't your jam but I really appreciate you covering them.
Thank you so much Theory for keeping up with your channel!
Your smile is contagious! And you are totally somebody that I respect and would strive to be! Staying true to yourself is incredibly inspiring!!
Thanks @starwarstheory!!
If you didn't read the previous Comics it's because he began to doubt again when the emperor saw what he was planning in such a large scale which was the Star Destroyer Fleet, seeing the scope of what Sidious was doing he was again brought under his wing as a loyal apprentice, when the time came when Luke managed to reach the Emperor he started to doubt again if that was what he truly believed.
Boba Fett’s failure is probably explained in the bounty Hunter comics. War of the bounty hunters is a crossover between Star Wars, Darth Vader, Bounty Hunters and Doctor Aphra involving Han Solo, who Fett somehow lost. I haven’t read all of the Bounty Hunter issues yet but in the first one Boba Fett gets a transmission that’s important to him. Even though he’s about to enter Tatooine this thing is so important he leaves without even entering the planet with Han still in the ship. So somehow in the comics he lost Solo and he’s now being auctioned.
this is several different Comics colliding into one comic with every Star Wars faction crime syndicate and pirate group one place and solo has betrayed or double cross every single one of them and Crimson Dawn is selling after stealing from Boba Fett several different, comics converging on one point and it could be any Star Wars comic it could be a Boba Fett comic good doctor Aphra, comic a Rebel's comic and as you see here a Darth Vader comic and every Syndicate from Crimson Dawn the Pikes black Sun the huts the Empire that the Rebellion small pirate games criminal organizations and more it shall be chaos and Jabba put a bounty on Boba Fett because he feels he double-crossed him and gave Han Solo to someone else
Vader didn’t want to kill the emperor in canon. What would happen if he did? The entire imperial chain of command would fall apart and the empire would disintegrate. Vader is not a politician and could not take the Emperors place.
Only reason why I could see this play off (at least the han solo auction) is that Vader thought the bespin trap would work (so giving Fett Solo’s carbonite body was inconsequential) and when it didnt he needed solo again to set another trap.
Overall I like what they've done with making everything try to fit a unified canon, but it seems like on the comics side of things they're making things unnecessarily complicated. I guess we'll see how things end up panning out, but it feels like they're sort of grasping at straws to fill in some blanks. That's not necessarily a criticism so much as it's an observation.
The books have all been incredible, though!
I thought that "Heir to the Jedi" was a little bit meh, though. However, it was amazing seeing how Luke Skywalker was able to use logic to reason out what kinds of powers could be available through the force and why the dark side was dangerous even though he didn't even know exactly what the dark side was at that point.
Keep these type of vids coming
There's something where boba lost han at one point. Some bounty hunters stole han but he gets him back and ultimately delivering han to Jabba
I feel like it would have been a good idea to make some of Vaders metal body parts besker, and maybe some of his outer armor as well.
All the IGs are connected anyway right? One guy built the 1st then the original built the rest or something like that? I dont remember where i heard it but this is a place to start looking around
There were multiple copies of IG-88, but there was one that died in Return of the Jedi. See the book Tales of the Bounty Hunters. Unless it changed in disney canon
Only thing I can think of is that both Hutts were involved in the spice deal that Han dumped or Han pissed off almost all the Hutts who wanted him.
Yo what up man! Hope all is well with you. Thanks for the new upload! Keep up the great work
My understanding of IG-88 is that he is functioning as a hive-mind between the same versions of his model. I think he mentions uploading his consciousness to the new body that gets killed by Vader in this comic.
For the most part, these comics have been pretty creative and entertaining. But also, revisionist.
For me, the canon is Episodes 1-6. Anything else is just... authors having fun.
To fill you in, the new canon is simply shit
As a dark side adept, Sly Moore when talking to Mas Amedda was probably influencing his mind to make him fark off.
i am so happy that all the people in the comics get that this is a crosover comic
Bro, I know you don't like those comics after the whole Exegol thing, but you got to keep up with the story. The war of bounty Hunters is dope.
I was so confused how literally the biggest Star Wars RUclipsr didn't know about this. I'm so pissed off how everyone's whining in the comments about Disney now, while they just haven't been informed well enough...
@@niedless6826 certainly a little frustrating that some of the biggest Star Wars RUclipsrs aren’t even aware of this event which is a pretty big deal for the main story line lore…not to mention it’s actually really good content coming out
@@niedless6826 unfortunately, this whining is typical behavior from his loyal sheep.
@@R6-J4 Chill dude people just don’t know not everyone reads war of bounty hunters
Vader said Luke was weak and would die so that no-one would go after Luke except him. Why was Boba at Jaba's palace if he failed? He was able to work with Vader and got Vader to give something up, lose it and live, and find out who has Han and where the auction is happening. Not many are able to do all of those. He is also meant to be the best bounty hunter in the Galaxy, and Jaba likes to have the best with him.
I don't know if you still do theory videos, but I thought of an interesting one, what if Anakin stayed on the force planet and took over for the father and kept the brother and sister in balance after the father. Anakin would truly focus on his chosen one powers. He would also learn Force powers beyond sith or Jedi and probably become the most powerful being in the Galaxy
Okay so the whole thing that you're missing is a part of the new comic book series War of the bounty hunters and a Boba Fett had Han Solo stolen under his nose while he was trying to keep solo alive in carbonite and Boba Fett at the moment is trying to get Han Solo back while everyone else is trying to get Han Solo for themselves including Vader and to answer your question about ig-88 he has multiple bodies and my Siri is that Boba Fett will eventually steal solo from Vader and bring it solo to Jabba
It’s all plainer by the war of the bounty hunters comic, but the short recap is crimson dawn and qyra from solo stole Han Solo, then they started a private auction and invited a bunch of bounty hunters, it’s a big comic event that will likely tie into Book of boba Fett, I highly recommend check8mg out some of the other issues.
Off topic but hearing the name Crimson Dawn reminded me that We Need a Canonized Maul vs. Vader fight. I was wishing for it in Bad Batch but I'd take it in comics.
Resurrection yes! I love that one-Tales was a good run, though my favorites from Darkhorse are the Clone Wars ones.
Thanks! 🙏🏼
As soon as the Emperor spoke, I realized I'm going to love this, so I'm going back and watching em all.
If Boba lost Solo and someone else tried to auction him off that would explain things but I have a feeling the auction doesn't go so smoothly and Boba manages to get him back
Well he did lose Han to Crimson Dawn.
Why would IG-88 have died in ESB? He was dispatched from the Executor halfway through the movie to find the Falcon and was not seen from again.
I feel like you need to just take a step back from the killing like perspective. Don’t forget what Vader has just gone through in these comics, his mind is constantly being twisted through pain and fear. He doesn’t know what he truly wants after his recent trials.
What happened with the series and the crimson dawn etc and Sabe?
I think Jabba was, at first, under the impression boba was trying to sell Han from under him. Just a mix up since boba sincerely lost Han. Hopefully they explain later why he was at Jabba’s in ROTJ. As for IG-88, no clue
