It's even more outdated than that, actually.
I still think it's weird he called Lawrence Kasdan a fanboy.
Even weirder is that Kasdan didn't have shit to do with this comic. Neither did Abrams.
This is a James Robinson/Tony Harris joint. The guys who did Starman in the 90s.

Yeah, that Lando comic is the best of the new Marvel run. The Kanan comic ain't bad, either.
It was written by the same guy who did the screenplay for Empire Strikes Back
Edit: Bobby beat me too it

New canon seems really afraid to venture outside anything related to Episode VII. I imagine because they're directed not to step on the saga directors' toes.

Can you imagine seeing this in motion on film? Just the thought is hysterical.

Lol I really want to know the behind the scenes story on all the delays this comic got.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They had to go through a few layers of "Are we really going to do this?".
Then it was sent to the printers on April 1 and they didn't run it because they thought it was a prank.
The guy who kept saying "no" took the day off

You guys need to Lando, shit's amazing.
It actually made me care about Lobot.
Yeah, Lobot's role gave a surprising amount of feels I wasn't expecting.
It's also the only time they made the Imperial Royal Guards fucking terrifying.
I've also read it, and I think it was much better than the OP is making it seem.
For what it's worth, it doesn't take place on Jakku.
Also, while most of the philisophical shit is pretty basic, there was an interesting point the OP left out

One of the droids is mentioned as having fought at the battle of Jakku.

regarding the lasting effects memory wipes have on droids and how 3PO has a tough time dealing with that

Auralnauts were right
If you really think this one-shot was at the level of the Jedi Prince books or Dark Saber (I THREW IT ACROSS THE ROOM) or Crystal Star...
Anyway, far more important is that it connects to a freaking LEGO short and now people are losing it and the Story Group is trolling like they do.

000 in the Darth Vader comic is essentially Creepio at this point after the last two issues.
Don't insult me. I'm not that twisted.

I'd been wanting to check out some of the new Star Wars comics, especially Darth Vader, so when a month sub to Marvel online comics went up for free yesterday I finally got to check out Darth Vader #1. The writing was surprisingly bad. I didn't make it through the entire issue. What a disappointment.
This isn't the thread for that.
You should take your criticism somewhere else.

I hate it when they spell out droid names. Beebee-Ate. Artoo. Threepio. It's the worst.

Whatever, DC fanboy
Surprisingly, I've been enjoying Obi-Wan & Anakin as well.
I'm also in the pro-Shattered Empire crowd. There's some really fantastic moments in that story, specifically Leia meeting the Queen on Naboo.
Honestly, I was hyped ever since the solicit for the book came out ages ago and I was told that I would finally have this burning question answered for me.
Well that's one way to show the world you're not very bright

Eh, as far as sci-fantasy stories go, I think that's pretty tame. I mean, it seems bad, yes, but not really a "what the heck did I just read" level.
Oo, I didn't know that the Star Wars comics are Marvel, too. Maybe it's time to check them out.
That story and hype over that level of tameness and clear attempts at "hitting to the base" made me cover my face and cringe
Just go back to making the stories that are interesting, like they used to with lots of the EU stuff.
If acid rain, tentacle monsters, and character tie-ins from the movie is considered "hype" I'm glad I'm off the train.

Well I mean he was made by Anakin Skywalker...
Because he is still better than Jar jar Binks.

I never read any of the old EU stuff but reading everyone here rip on it is top-notch comedy.

I was going to suggest this being an effect of that but it looks like they also did.

The current comics aren't even canon unless the movie directly acknowledges them. You're kidding yourself otherwise.
It's the opposite, everything is canon unless the movies contradict it.

Well, nothing is 100% legit unless it's in a movie, but the new comics/novels are as canon as other media is going to get. The new story group have made that perfectly clear.

This book was great. It was fucking ridiculous and I love it. 3PO is a beast.
