| 2 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Darth Vader killing his StalkerWithACrush in Issue #3. We all saw it coming, but his intent behind it is subject for debate. Was it just another trademark Dark Side DisproportionateRetribution towards an idiotic loon for daring to enter his quarters while meditating unmasked and confess her love for him? Did Vader perhaps feel sorry for the nurse and decide to MercyKill her? The fact that he went for a quick kill via his lightsaber rather than the usual long, painful Force choke suggests that the latter may be the case. His blank facial expression while doing the deed suggests that he did feel at least some pity for her, but it can also be interpreted as annoyance, boredom or even TranquilFury. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: In Issue #1, Vader [[DavidVsGoliath takes on]] [[{{Kaiju}} the Ender]], a towering monster that had ravaged Cianap's civilization and forced its native people to live primitive lives in fear underground, in a truly spectacular battle and ''wins''. |
| 4 | * BrokenBase: Issue #3 wherein a nameless nurse obsesses over Vader only for him to kill her which many fans saw as a TakeThat to popular villains {{Misaimed Fandom}}s. Some saw it as a good criticism of the DracoInLeatherPants mindset that's so prevailing in fandom especially by showing that romanticizing such cruel people can be dangerous. Others saw it as a petty TakeThatAudience and view the comparison of an unhealthy relationship to people enjoying fictional villains a terrible false equivalence. |
| 5 | * CrossesTheLineTwice: A lot of people knew what would happen [[TooDumbToLive when the nurse went as far as to go into Vader's chambers and see him unmasked]], but given how [[TranquilFury the only real emotion he shows is to casually stab her]] after hearing her LoveConfession, it’s not hard to imagine that even ''he'' [[EvenEvilHasStandards thinks she's crazy]]. |
| 6 | * FanNickname: The unnamed nurse from issue #3 has been named [[Franchise/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Daaé]] by fans due to similarities between her (imagined) relationship with Vader and Christine's relationship with the Phantom. The name also fits with the LetterMotif of Naboo characters with accented E's at the ends of their names. "Leira" is a commonly accepted surname. |
| 7 | * MemeticMutation: The two panels depicting Darth Vader's melancholy annoyance at the nurse seeing him without his helmet have become a popular reaction image among ''Star Wars'' fans. |
| 8 | * OvershadowedByControversy: A mostly forgotten, SoOkayItsAverage miniseries that's only remembered for the controversial Issue #3 and debates over whether this was an unfair TakeThatAudience to [[DracoInLeatherPants villain-loving fans]], especially [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys female fans]]. |
| 9 | * TheWoobie: The nurse. She may have been delusional and a lunatic, but it's still easy to feel sorry for her. She's treated horribly throughout the story by her fellow Imperials and, as deranged as she may be, she was probably the first person in ages to show any true affection to Vader. The fact that even Vader himself seems to kill her out of pity instead of rage clearly says something. |
