The deeper you get into the lore you can see why the jedi fell. The were self absorbed and ignorant which completely contradicted their 'jedi code'.

5:39 Moving his hand towards Vader was extremely dangerous. He was lucky that Vader didn't take out his saber. He was going to do it, but when he heard Happy Birthday, he was shocked.

Vader not killing that storm trooper shows that he had some good left in his heart ,that trooper will be remembered for all time

it's such a gentle, humanizing moment. secretly wishing someone to start a connection with him, but knowing he can't simply come out and say "today is my birthday" because then people would disingenuously fall over themselves to celebrate. instead, with this small token from a unidentified stormtrooper probably leads him to think "they... already know? they know it's my birthday, but they never bring it up. they don't want to make a big deal of it... maybe to respect the hierarchy? maybe because i never made a point of it, they assume i don't care about my birthday... what if... what if they care about me? what if they truly respect me? i should show them some kindness in return for this. the galaxy could do with a little more kindness." and that could have been one of a thousand lynchpins that set off his turning on his master in protection of his son. the idea that even the men he sends to their deaths care about him, maybe there is still hope left, after all.

Its fun to see that Darth Vader of all people, had a very casual side to him that he simply kept hidden from everybody, and that Vader was truly contemplating how he would break the news to Luke that he was his father. Whenever he is seen on screen or panel, Vader always maintains a strict, controlled composure and it seems that his mind is only on empire business; as though he is a robot programmed for domination. Knowing that Vader really is human underneath his figurative & literal masks and wants to connect with people is actually touching.

It makes sense for the stormtroopers to feel that way and think about helping him. They were passionate about fighting for the Empire and were in the end just regular people who also thought that they were on the right side and had a family and everything to fight and care for. Vader was a legend and so of course they'd feel bad for their leader, because in their eyes the man is a decisive warrior who's many times together with them at the front lines and cleaning buildings and taking over whole enemy ships. I'd feel some type of way too if I find out my leader who's always so intimidating, strong, powerful and legendary is actually alone and struggling.

This must be the legendary storm trooper from robot chicken that went and say " Whassuuuuuuup" to palpatine.

I would LOVE for something like this to be canon.

I loved this comic ever sense I was made aware of it a few weeks ago on KZread; something we rarely see in most Star Wars media is the human side of Stormtroopers, and what better way to showcase that than two Stormtroopers learning information about the same man who killed countless of their comrades out of spite that will undoubtedly get them killed, and showing sympathy to that man and even wishing him a happy birthday. it's also the little moments like this that just makes me so happy and makes the setting feel more alive for me. ^ ^

Vader can pretend he's not Anakin anymore, but he's still definitely Anakin. His writing style screams "Anakin wrote this".

Everyone is talking about how Vader spared the troopers, but I still cant get over the fact that Vader has a diary 😂

This was a surprisingly wholesome comic. I never thought Vader could be wholesome.

Never has anyone needed a hug more.

Wishing Vader a happy birthday when no one else would have any means of knowing that information is risky enough but the fact that he put his hand on Vader's shoulder is even more insane

This stormtrooper needs a life time supply of credits👍

Being someone who has held in his feelings for about 14 years and I'm 24 now, I can 90% say with confidence that the pause he had was thinking how he knew as said but he was shedding tears with a straight face of confused happiness

I kinda like that it was just a rank and file Stormtrooper who wishes Vader a happy birthday! Vader obviously let him live as the trooper was showing his superior respect without any motive behind it!

Vader clearly felt mad at first, but suddenly, for some reason, he just let it go. That’s just a wholesome moment.

“I don’t even know what his first name is” “I think it’s Corey” 😂

I forget which book it is but Vader is trying to use the darkside of the force to heal himself...starts to feel happiness from the healing...loses control of the dark side of the force and the healing stops. I kinda feel this is how he might have felt after the stormtrooper wished him a happy birthday, a brief hit of happiness and then feeling his power ebb would enhance the loneliness.

I think the Stormtrooper unintentionally just saved a ton of people from being Force Choked for not being able to find the intruder. Vader I guess decided it worked in his favor, as the Stormtroopers were more likely to lay down their lives for him and the Empire, if they recognized a human side within him.

These vignettes are why I was so mad about the Disney Retcon. They really show the humanity of the Empire. Sure they're a bunch of indoctrinated sociopaths, but they still have birthdays and friends. They still struggle with the basics. Legends was really special.

Bob 10000000% has maxed out luck

I like how the artist managed to draw vader in the last panel somhow looking like his eyes were tearing up despite it being a mask haha

I can only assume that Vader never figured out which of the Stormtroopers was behind that helmet, first being too dumbfounded by what had happened to take any action, followed by the eventual realization that his diary was missing and connecting the dots And since nothing else happened regarding that, he may have just let this one slide, of all things he has killed people over... He just got the smallest gesture he couldn't dare ask for

To be honest I think this is one of the best Darth Vader comics they ever produced. Although I'm really 50/50 on whether or not he would have done something. I mean if Vader was being the Sith he was supposed to be. He definitely would have. I think Vader was trying to overthrow the emperor not for the continuation of the rule of two. But to extinguish it.!

Vader breaking down for his mom in a moment of weakness is so sad 😢

Its not surprising to see there is a little bit of himself still inside him, behind all the darkness and anger. Knowing how badly he looks behind that mask

"Look, I am your father" is a funny spin on it

I love the nod to space balls, my mans got a comb and an entire fro in that helmet :D irl that would block up all the vents and i dont even think theres enough space in there to fit that troopers gloryous hair (the fit goes hard though)

Even the force didn't see that coming.

who thought bob was gonna die raise your hand now.

Nahhhhh, Vader choked him out for saying that. He's wayyy too cold hearted to let that go.

I like how the story itself is a bit comical how Vader has a diary, and he writes he hes sad that no one knows his birthday But at the same time, it's incredibly depressing, he writes in it because he feels that he has no one else to talk to, hes extremely depressed and alone, its both kinda funny and very depressing

And I’m sure Vader won’t forget Bob the stormtrooper either. Who treated him as a normal person behind the mask. Theres likely an element of respect over the sheer audacity.

That was so wholesome and amazing lol definitely pre disney.

I cried, but I'm still surprised the storm trooper survived

This sounds like one of my stories. "What if Padme was Ugly", "What if Palpatine Fell out the Window", I haven't done a Vader birthday one yet, but I enjoy this kind of comedy.

Darth Vader keeping a diary is a hilarious concept, though perhaps uncharacteristic since it’s so personal.

Aww, so wholesome.

And thus, a spark of ever so faint light blooms in his dark heart ❤ lol
