You say he never fell from the path but I’d argue heavily against that. I mean he didn’t prior to Kenobi but after that? I typically stand by the stance that the only Jedi in the Original Trilogy is Luke and he doesn’t even count until RotJ.

Obi-Wan and Yoda actively lied to Luke about who his father was. They trained him to kill Darth Vader, his father, in what feels like an act of vengeance for how Vader betrayed them. Now I get it, they do have a justification in saying go after Vader but they were insistent on Vader. Not Palpatine. Sure, Daddy Vader is a problem but he’s not the sole problem. Getting rid of him would hurt the Empire but with Palpatine and everyone else hanging around it is still going to be standing very strong. They also can’t claim ignorance of Palpatine considering Yoda did his ‘Kermit on Ketamine’ sequence at the Senate against The Senate. I mean, for fucks sake, Yoda starts trying to die faster the second that Luke starts asking questions. Obi-Wan, a fucking ghost at this point, is still lying to the poor kid and trying to justify his behavior.

Now, like I said, I don’t blame either of them. The loss that both Yoda and Obi-Wan suffered was utterly immeasurable but they were not exactly holding strictly to Jedi ideals and teachings at that point. Flowing through them the hate was.

Oh I completely agree with all of your points. I just also stand by the fact that they did stray. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worst, but they’re definitely not upholding the tenants of the Jedi Order in the way that they used to. I think it isn’t until Luke faces Vader and holds back from the darkside that both Yoda and Obi-Wan sort of come to have an inner realization of how they changed. That’s totally headcanon for me but I dunno. I like the idea that they were corrupted and didn’t realize it until the ‘Next Generation’ helped them realize it. I’m a sucker for that shit just like you’re a sucker for the conversation.

For the record, I’m always down to do this. If you ever wanna have a chat about Star Wars, hit me up! I may be more well versed in Star Trek but that’s not saying much. I’m still steeped in a fuckload of Star Wars as well.

I mean doesn’t this shit just look super cool?

You’ll turn into us… slowly but surely. Sooner than later you’ll think something looks really cool and then look it up on YouTube. You’ll look up a few more clips then go “Eh, why not give this show a try.” From there it’s a slippery slope into bliss, my friend.

Welcome to the subspace fold.

A plush toy? My guy you clearly haven’t played Fallen Order or Survivor or watched Rogue One. None of those show him remotely close to a plush toy

Which is irrelevant. The question isn’t asking you whether you like Disney. It’s saying which one of the Disney Vaders you think is best. Your opinion on Disney does not matter when it comes to answering the question.

This behavior is just so exhausting. So utterly biased and hateful against one company that you cannot, or refuse to let yourself, engage with anything at all revolving around it. Then you have this insanely childish behavior of seeing people talk about that thing you don’t like and then going “Well, my opinion this thing is irrelevant but I will derail the conversation to try and whine about the company I don’t like.”

Grow up and start acting like an adult. Either engage honestly and in good faith with the conversation at hand or don’t engage at all and move on with your life.

Again, cool, but that’s not the question that was asked?

The meme isn’t asking which Vader you like best. It’s which Disney Vader you like best.

I mean that’s fine and all but it’s also not the question that was asked…

That first one is just too perfect. Although I’m loving the second as well. Vader dressed up like Thomas for Halloween.

Not really. Image hosting for a webcomic costs a lot of money. A lot of webcomic artists are instead hosting their images on WebToons primarily. It’s a site dedicated to comics which is a great start but also severely cuts down on their costs.

Not that I’m aware of. The font is called OpenDyslexia and its completely free. A lot of people use it because it helps dyslexic folks. Not much effort and it helps out a whole group. Might as well. Probably what the artist thought.
