The Machine (1/9)
Having completed his transformation, the once famed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is no more. In his place, alongside the Emperor, Darth Vader rises to assume command as judge, jury & executioner of his masters’ will.
Vader: “You told me you could save her.”
Palpatine: “In your rage you choose… a different path. Padme… is dead my friend. Even the power of the Dark Side cannot bring her back. But in her death, she has given you a gift. Pain. Now… you must choose. Will you accept that gift? Will you use it… …Or will you die?”
Vader: “I… will live.”
Palpatine: “Good. And now…”
*proceeds to electrocute Vader with force lighting*
“Where is your light saber, Lord Vader? Use its power! Defend yourself!”
Vader: “Lost. In the fight with Obi-Wan. He… took it.”
Palpatine: “No! That blade belonged to another. A Jedi. You are a Sith. I realize this has been a… traumatic time for you. But if you touch me with the force again, I will finish what Kenobi could not. You are my friend, Lord Vader. I do hope we never find ourselves in this position again. Rise. The great work must continue. You think of revenge. You wish to leave, to find the source of all your pain. I can sense it. Set such feelings aside. Your personal vendettas pale next to the needs of our Galactic Empire. Come with me. I wish to show you something.”
Join me over the next few weeks as we explore the story of Darth Vader’s rise to power from the Darth Vader : Imperial Machine Comic Series and his search for the weapon which he would use to strike fear into the galaxy.
