You say that as if Leslye Headland wouldn't have mad them the central protagonist faction of The Acolyte Season 2 (if you chuds hadn't killed it).

The main antagonist would be a Falleen Jedi master named Xarzey Xeinztine who molests all the female younglings who are starting the trials to become Jedi Knights.

That sounds really good; how have they fucked it up?

Have you been reading the current Conan run from Titan because issues 9-12 is an arc where Conan and Kull fight Thulsa Doom (Conan is transported in time).

The current series by Jim Zub? I've had it on my bucket list for a while, since I've heard good things about it, but you've just sold me on bumping it up in my reading list on that premise alone.

It's a good time to be a fan of Conan--we've been getting the Cimmerian Franco-Belgian series by Ablaze, the US Conan Comic license has been ripped from Marvel's talentless sausage fingers and we're getting good Conan comics that look like the old Buscema stuff, and Titan's also reprinting the metal-as-fuck black and white Savage Sword of Conan comics from the 70s---in glorious oversize hardcover omnibuses, no less.

Here's hoping they give the Dark Horse comics a similar red carpet treatment.

I would sell my fucking organs for a crossover film between Solomon Kane and Dark Agnes (Red Sonja's cooler, broodier, 16th-century sword-and-flintlock carrying forerunner).

And the art is magical on it. The Jim Zub run feels like it comes from the 70's and is an instantly timeless run. Also there is an event mini that just started called Battle of the Blackstone which features a plethura of Howard characters fighting the Blackstone over the years.

So it has Soloman Kane, Dark Agnes, Conan (duh), Conrad and Kweon involved in the plot.

However hilarious the thought, that would have been totally impossible even 30 years ago. Howard mostly kept himself from ranting about evils of niggers in his Hyborian works, but if you look at his more obscure historical fiction and horror stories, you'll notice that he really was an unironic racist who was more comfortable portraying human history as a string of genocides that admitting that his ancestors ever engaged in racemixing at any point.

So, a rebrand of Howard's original Red Sonja from The Shadow of the Vulture?

That situation was really stupid. Vader's literally surrounded by a Rebel army and he slaughters them all. This is the kind of situation where even Vader shouldn't be able to fight his way free.

I think this level of camp is fun. One of the most powerful force-users of all time really should be worth dozens of men, even working in unison.

Also big vibes of this Windu scene from 2003 Clone Wars, which I've always loved.

If this was made before Disney ruined Star Wars, who'd be the crime syndicates you'd be trying to win over? The Hutt Kajidics, Black Sun, maybe the Zann Consortium and...who else?

I hate how Vader is treated as this invincible god now purely due to the fact that due to plot armor, he can't be killed before Return of the Jedi. It doesn't make him cooler, it just makes him boring to read.

Anyone else realize that Disney memoryholed Black Sun because of the sonnenrad?

Not surprising, considering they memory holed the Slave-1 due to complaints that no one had about the name. I've been a Star Wars fan all my life and I never once heard someone actually get made about the name.

This is in big contrast to how a lot of other EU stuff has him. Purge, the interquel one-shots between Republic and Dark Times, have him getting beaten and otherwise confounded, but the fact that he still wins by canniness or quickly turning a disadvantage to an advantage is part of the cool factor. All attached are from Purge 1.

It makes Vader cooler when he can be beaten but he can figure out a way to overcome it.

Vader getting by on wit and experience is always great, especially early on when he's not used to the suit and his new physical limitations, but I love a murderhobo/horror movie villain Vader just as much. Hell Slasher Vader is one of the very few good things Rogue One ever had going for it after all. So much so that it's the most memorable part of the entire movie and the only thing people were talking about for months afterwards.

Neither one is better or worse, though. It's just that one aspect(murderhobo) is infinitely easier for the hack writers we have to work with. It wouldn't matter if the entire Vader Meta switched to him being a cunning mastermind outsmarting everyone if the people who write for him are still shit eating morons.
Because for current star wars, being a smart character just means everyone else becomes retarded when you show up.
