Darth Vader #29

As Sabé searches Brentaal IV for Jul Tambor, who Darth Vader has ordered her to assassinate, Ochi sneaks one of the other handmaidens disguised as Sabé on to an Imperial Star Destroyer to learn more about what her fellow handmaiden has been up to. While good enough to fool Stormtroopers, Dormé‘s disguise can’t stand the scrutiny of a Dark Lord of the Sith who doesn’t take kindly to another handmaiden sneaking aboard his ship.

Darth Vader #28

Darth Vader #28 is an odd comic. In what felt like the natural conclusion to the Sabé arc, instead we get a confrontation between the former Handmaiden and the Emperor, without any payoff either way halfway through the comic, before shifting gears in lightspeed directly into Sabé and Vader continuing to work together on a new mission. I certainly understand wanting to milk more out of the character’s appearance, but the choices here don’t so much subvert the narrative as make an unexpected U-turn into oncoming traffic.
