History YMMV / StarWarsDarthVader

--> '''Vader''': Did you bring me anything of value bounty hunter?
--> '''Boba Fett''': Not much, just his name. [[WhamLine Skywalker]].
--> '''Vader''': (''goes completely silent'')
--> '''Boba Fett''': We're done here, then. *leaves*

--> '''Aphra''': Sounds like she was something special.

** [[spoiler: Aphra's death scene in issue #25. Watching her sob and beg for a quick, lightsabery death instead as Vader calmly and mercilessly prepares to send her out into the void of space is gut wrenching, even though she's later revealed to have survived.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Aphra''']]: Not like this. Please not like this.

--> '''Vader''': [[TemptingFate Soon...]]

* MoralEventHorizon:
** Morit [[spoiler: pushing Aiolin into lava, after she saved him from being killed in their fight with Vader. Both of them were plotting against each other, but Morit showed in this act to be far more cutthroat.]]
** While the audience may disagree, Vader apparently felt Aphra crossed this line when she [[spoiler: 1.) blackmailed him after he explicitly warned her otherwise, and 2.) betrayed him to the EMPEROR of all people. By all appearances, he was initially going to honor her request for a quick death the first time around. The second (and last) time, she had expended any good will she'd had left with him.]]

* TooCoolToLive: Karbin, the Astarte Twins and Voidgazer are all skilled combatants (and in three cases, non force using lightsaber wielders) who are trying to trump the force with sheer science, are built up as major rivals to Vader, and all have cool backstories and designs [[spoiler: None of them do make it to the end of the series]].

* UncannyValley: The artwork is occasionally traced from the movies, such as Vader's flashback to Padmé telling Anakin about being pregnant. It's rather unsettling for some.

** Doctor Aphra, [[spoiler: so much so that she got her own spin off.]] She actually won a popularity poll to get her own action figure from Creator/{{Hasbro}}, even beating out the fan favorite [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Ahsoka Tano]].

** The flashbacks to Anakin's time with Padme. It's clear that even after all these years, he still loves her and hates himself for what he did to her.

** Vader has had his flagship taken away for his failure at the Death Star. So what vessel does he use to get around? Padme's royal Naboo star-cruiser. This ship is probably all he feels he has left of her.

* {{Adorkable}}: Despite how much of a {{Sadist}} he is, Triple Zero'
s gleeful reaction to horrible things occurring makes him seem like a excited fanboy.

** Dr. Cylo and his experiments make such a good presence with their plotting and fight scenes that it's kind of a shame their only in this one series.

* TooCoolTooLive: Karbin, the Astarte Twins and Voidgazer are all skilled combatants (and in three cases, non force using lightsaber wielders) who are trying to trump the force with sheer science, are built up as major rivals to Vader, and all have cool backstories and designs [[spoiler: None of them do make it to the end of the series]].

* TooCoolTooLive: The subjects of the Cylo Directive: mechanically enhanced warriors (and in three cases, lightsaber wielders) who are trying to trump the force with sheer science, all have cool backstories and designs, and yet are clearly established as fair game given their being presented as rivals of Vader rather than subordinates. [[spoiler: and indeed, none of them do make it to the end of the series]].

* MagnificentBastard: Unsurprisingly Darth Vader is still this even as a protagonist. In the first issue he's assigned to work under Tagge and ordered to accept Oon-Ai as his minder, which puts a damper on any plans he has. [[spoiler:He manages to get rid of Oon-Ai]] during an assault on a pirate base [[spoiler: by having an astromech droid that was supposedly searching for information on TheMole helping the pirates frame Oon-Ai as TheMole before destroying the droid to cover up all the evidence of the FrameUp. He easily gets rid off the officer holding him down, and embarrasses Tagge by convincing everyone one of his most trusted men was a spy.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: Some fans feel Vader crosses it during [[spoiler:Aphra's DisneyDeath scene -- not because he tries to kill her, but because he actively does so in the very way he knows she fears most (ThrownOutTheAirlock), all while simply brushing her off when she begs to be lightsabered instead. Though it's worth noting that Aphra was counting on this in order to escape.]]
** Morit [[spoiler: pushing Aiolin into lava, after she saved him from being killed in their fight with Vader. Both of them were plotting against each other, but Morit showed in this act to be far more cutthroat.]]
** Ironically, Vader may have felt Aphra crossed this line when she [[spoiler: 1.) blackmailed him after he explicitly warned her otherwise, and 2.) betrayed him to the EMPEROR of all people. By all appearances, he was initially going to honor her request for a quick death the first time around. The second (and last) time, she had expended any good will she'd had left with him.]]

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Triple-Zero thanks to his LaughablyEvil behavoir.

** Darth Vader standing on the ''Executor'' bridge in issue #25, stretching out his hand and imagining his son, Luke, reaching for it. Though he intends to turn him to TheDarkSide, Vader truly wants Luke to accept him as his father even though it unrealistic given the obvious circumstances.
