YMMV / Agent of the Empire

• Complete Monster: Iaco Stark, from Iron Eclipse, was once a domineering young pirate who started the Stark Hyperspace War. Always managing to come out on top of every galactic conflict until the days of the Empire, upon reaching old age, Stark fakes his own death and has his head grafted onto a powerful, spider-like droid's body with a plan to unleash what is known as Iron Eclipse. Having his second wife Dah'Liss murdered when she inadvertently tells Imperial Agent Jahan Cross too much, Stark later murders his own son Iaclyn when he shows compassion for his half-sister, who was the result of Stark's first wife having had an affair. Stark then reveals his true motivation: to activate Iron Eclipse and make every droid in the galaxy begin killing their masters until the galaxy submits to Stark as their new ruler, something that would create a death toll that would eclipse countless other villains.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Adan Dooku is the nephew and heir of Count Dooku, was tainted by the name despite never serving the Separatists, is a former ward of House Organa (making him friendly to Bail despite being hesitant to support his Rebel activities), and, in his youth, was forced to witness a traumatic massacre by Darth Vader. He feels like he could have been a powerful presence in this comic in particular and the whole EU in general, but he dies in his debut issue (and has possibly been retconned out of existence in the new canon).
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Jahan is a loyal Imperial agent, but we only get to see him face off against the Corporate Sector and other characters from the galactic fringe. Considering he gets along famously with House Organa, and is on neutral terms with Han & Chewbacca, and he's the Empire's "scalpel", what would he do about the Rebellion and the Galactic Civil War? Especially because his homeworld is Alderaan... though considering the comic never gets close to that point, it's also certainly possible that this was on purpose so that whatever Jahan's reaction to the war is up to the reader's interpretation.
