I don't think he could have brought himself to do it. Besides his mother, his friends were his sole comfort in that life of slavery. The only shining good part of that past life. They shared their love of podracing, they built stuff together. That's a bond you can't bury, and if you try, it's going to have to be buried DEEP. Vader still has a slice of humanity left. Otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to save his son in Return. Perhaps this event helped maintain it.

Piett actually had tried to stop Ozzel but was over ruled. This is also why Vader hated Moffs. They were lazy, incompetent and arrogant. Vader often killed for no reason. But he never exactly targeted those people. But there were members of the upper echelons that Vader did target. Just because he hated their work ethic. Tarkin. He hated him.

It's beautiful how much Luke's existence rattled Vader's entire worldview. He was taught by Palpatine that the past should be destroyed, as it only brought him pain, and for the most part, that was true. He had lost everything and was left as a broken man, only left with his hatred and desire to destroy the past. Luke was an exception to that rule, as he was the part of the past that brought Vader Joy, which made him the first thing Vader didn't want to destroy. From that point, it reawakened the part of him that knew that his past wasn't only a source of pain and regret.

Yeah , although I really like the prequels, I think they touched the slavery topic and all the factors that slowly piled in in Anakin's backstory to make him eventually turn into the war criminal he became in a very light hearted way, to a point that one really often dismisses it , and I guess it was because those prequels back in the day were supposed to be written as a family friendlly franchise (the most they could do in terms of "darkness" was the Revenge of the Sith" tho cause there's no light hearted way of telling THAT story , and even by that I still remember newscasts warning people of being careful with bringing kids too young due to the "gruesome images" in my country). Nowadays with shows like Andor, Obi Wan , and all the starwars spin offs there has been more chance of dueling in a more darker way of telling these stories so the psychological weight of the characters are more evident . It would've been badass if Anakin's childhood had had the "Andor style" story telling treatment.

ONLY to go to the Jedi and be denied training. Have the only father figure he ever had killed. Be told that he can't have feelings for one of the people he loved most. And then told that he can't save his mother, the other person he loves most. And during the entirety of his time as Jedi, he was ridiculed, scrutinized, judged, and berated. And that's not even considering the influence from Palpatine. The Jedi really failed Anakin, crushed his hopes and dreams, and were indirectly responsible for his mother's death.

The time period is very important for stories like this. If it happened before his confrontation with luke it undermines the eventual breaking of the darkside and Sidius' hold on him.

His walls were up so thick he couldn't sense he familial connection to Leia. If he hadn't been closed to everything other that hate a power he would have had visions of his children the way anakin did with his mother and padme.

This needs to be done Live Action or Animated!! These stories are just too precious!!

wow one of the rare moments of Vader actually having feelings.. also I love how he randomly uses the pod racer

Love how these stories make Vader’s redemption so much more gradual

Moments like these are what makes me appreciate RotJ so much more than Empire. Though most people say Empire is the better movie and has better highs and less lows, to which I can agree to some respect, I genuinely don’t think anything can top the whole last part with Luke and Vader finally interacting. Luke has no malice towards the man he knows as his father but instead a hopefulness towards him, knowing there is good within the man despite all he’s done wrong (it’s the tie in comics and everything else imho that starts taking away the idea of a redemption for Vader) and tries his best to bring him back to that time where he was a Jedi too. In this, we see not only has Luke become a true Jedi, a man able to set aside feelings of hate and anger and instead putting forth ideas of hope and goodness, but see that the man known as Anakin is still in there but he has been hiding from his pain and guilt by masking it with rage. Times that we can glimpse that Vader still has good in him reinforce this idea and really build up just why Luke can really be called the one true Jedi, not because he is the last (sorry, I just shivered typing those two words near each other), but because unlike many of those within the Order, Luke doesn’t immediately swat away the ideas of enemies being irredeemable villains. Even when Luke gets the closest to giving in to the dark side when he’s batting away Vader’s saber and being ordered to kill him by Palpatine, he calms himself and appeals to Vader’s sense of right even on the verge of death by lightning. And of course, this is all without bringing in the Disney fanfic that people are saying are canon movies.

This needs to be animated. NOT LIVE ACTION!! Animated. I would love to capture the full range of Vader’s combat prowess.

"I know there's good in you. The emperor hasn't driven it from you fully."

One of the very, very few moments of Vader doing something nice for others. There has been times where he rewards those that prove successful and useful to the Empires cause, but this came from Anakin/Vader. Despite how much darkness was around him, in him, running through him he still went out of his way to stop the governor especially when Vader himself couldn’t see it.

Vader being an "under the table" anti-hero makes sense and its cool to see what the Empire could do if it was used like the Star Trek's Federation rather than a bloated self indulgent Empire. The Imperials could be a major force for good in the Galaxy if they wished it.

You think they figured it out when he jumped in the pod? Had to be a story a child goes off, wins a race. Becomes a Jedi… Then this strangely* anti slavery imperial with force abilities jumps in and saves your lives and takes off in a podracer with no words… “You don’t think that was?” “No way…. Right?” Kinda thing

Imagine if the two lived into the time of the book Bloodline and found out about Vader being Anakin?

Always love the references.. helps to follow up on our own. Great stuff.

Thats a really good story thanks for sharing this

Vader riding a podracer with his cape flailing is one of the funniest things I've seen! Totally destroys any sense of terror by sheer comedy!

Very cool video the lore master

Disney should have hired their comic book writers for the films and TV shows, because these stories actually seem pretty good.

After so many movies, shows, games, books, comics, and other media. This is the ONLY time I've seen Vader/Anakin do something positive that wasn't involving Luke.

Knowing how painful Vaders prosthetics are, the fact that he moved so fast to save his old friends is absolutely crazy.

The thing is, lot of people forgot one of the most important thing sith value, passion. Passion can be lots of things, protecting who he loved (not any innocent at sight, like a jedi) is one if not THE MAIN reason vader exist. In a way you can always "use" a sith if your goal can be related to the "passion" of the sith you ask. For that handmaiden, it was some sort of light side coming out of vader, but in fact, it was still the dark side, in my opinion.

Goodness does not obey emotional detachment. If anything, it is the opposite.

Was just watchin the video you posted about leia meetin them and then this gets posted

Excellent story. I enjoyed all the connections to the prequeals.

That was so sad when you join the dark side of the force, Your past filled with happiness and joy were forced to be removed until you’ve been confronted and you’ve brought humanity back into your life.

Vader testing the racepod: WEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH😁😁😁😁😁😁

I would've like to have been a story where Vader crosses paths with his old droid and companion R2-D2. Imagine the conflict between the two.

FANTASTIC VIDEO!

One of the only Darth Vader comics I liked.

For a man claiming anakin is dead, he sure is obsessed with his son.

bro this story is soo sick and I love it , ani always was in there somewhere deep I REALLY hope we see a live action some how some day of when obi wan taught him to become a force ghost in his dying moments THAT is true brotherhood and would be so sweet to see !

There's always hope in the hope itself that the darkness can't exist without light. Vader is Anakin. It's Anakins' mother, who is the light in his heart. A little memory helps on the way to resolve these dark years a climper of hope in the universe of Skywalker dreams..

Honor comes with loyalty and class, even evil can't stop pride.

Man those comics have some SO cool stories.

Again some very good canon it shows Vader as he should be shown. A tragic figure not some monster like some thing he is.

anakin never truly went away

to add a note at the end, vader had a armory of weapons distributed to the colonists afterwards i believe so they could defend themselves from the wildlife

We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close to providing peace and security for the galaxy.

Man, this really hits hard. Seeing the good person Anakin was as a child, coming back as a Sith Lord and saving his childhood friends. Even after all he did, can someone that committed so many atrocities be forgiven? Saved? Redeemed?

Glad to see the titles are going back to normal.

This made me cry 😢

It's moments like this that is the reason vaders mask was slipping and anakin was slowly but surely rising to the surface! Of course luke was always going to bring his farther back to the light (It was his destiny to do so) but these moments made it possibly that bit easier to do so.

Okay, we absolutely need a fan animation of Lord Vader riding that Podracer. It's just too uncanny to leave on paper.

Amazing video

Always a pleasure man

Vader: "By the way, do you people say "That's so wizard" anymore?

Too bad Disney isn't up for doing alternate versions of Star wars, cause I have ideas but know I wouldn't get paid for them. This was interesting. He saved his old friends, and honestly was heroic, because a true hero never needs to be praised, because they see it as"just doing my job" and that's what he was basically doing without words. It shows he's not completely dark.

That weirdly brought a tear to my eye

This so awesome, how come i never heard this story before? Like wow it made me cry

There was good in Vader
