Vader is afraid they've failed  - comic panels

Look - out the window!

Hey - you can actually see the battle outside the Deathstar's windy! Why don't they just use that big gun thing that they have?

Aah... I see. Vader and Tarkin are at cross purposes here. And Tarky probably disabled the weapon in case Vader impulsively used it on our fleeing heroes. You know how impulsive he is. Ok, if you're familiar with George's version of the story, you're probably feeling confused now. I bet you recall that it was Vader who took a huge risk by placing a tracking device on Solo's ship - and just let them escape?

Tarkin: "Wrong Vader, I placed a homing device on the freighter. We're tracking them now."

Smart arse. However, Vader recognises the brilliance of this plan immediately. And to his credit, seems to feel no urge whatsoever to throttle Tarky. Instead he turns wistfully to the window, waxing lyrically about murder, and painting the destruction of another planet in his minds eye.

Check out Moff's sexy strut!

What's that chappie doing way up on that 15 foot high desk thingy? Are they trying to stop him going for pee breaks? Another initiative in the Deathstar efficiency drive perhaps. The Emperor will be pleased.

Part X: The Last Battle!

Is coming this Friday, 14th Oct - stay tuned.
