The Jedi who became the Grand Inquisitor, on the other hand, fell for a much colder reason. Reva fell in a quest for revenge against Vader, who slaughtered her fellow younglings during Order 66. We already know why Anakin fell love and fear of losing it. The Inquisitors debut in the series’ second arc, “The Dying Light.” They turn out to be former Jedi who, like Anakin, fell under the sway of the dark side. Dark Lord of the Sith explores more about where he came from. The Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend), in both Obi-Wan Kenobi and his previous appearance in Star Wars: Rebels (where he was voiced by Jason Isaacs), was just a snobbish bully. An anti-hero playing the role of a villain, Reva had one of the strongest character arcs of the Disney+ series. Obi-Wan introduced a new Inquisitor, Reva/the Third Sister (Moses Ingram). They’ve been recurring faces in Star Wars media since their debut on Rebels, but Dark Lord of the Sith explores their origins. Origins of the InquisitorsĪside from Vader himself, the main protagonists of Dark Lord of the Sith are the Inquisitors, Jedi hunters in the employ of the Empire. The surreality of this image requires a less photo-realistic touch, and Camuncoli delivers. Some flocks of blue, glowing butterflies are the only signs of the light remaining in Vader. He hovers above a raging black sea while the sky above him screams with cries of purple lightning. Vader himself appears as a black-red mass of energy, humanoid only in its shape, while his severed limbs are pure white. A splash page of Vader in meditation shows how discordant his mind is even when at peace. The issue’s interior art doesn’t disappoint either.
Camuncoli and Francesco Mattina’s cover to issue #8 depicts a levitating Vader meditating before a sun, his armor levitating in pieces behind him. Seeing familiar scenes and actors’ faces painted over with ink was distracting and left the moments feeling stiff and uncanny.Ĭamuncoli’s art is slicker and more animated, lending itself to the fantasy of Vader’s imagination better.
Larroca’s work, which relies on an especially heavy-handed use of photo references from Star Wars movies, was less pencils and more traced stills.

Marvel’s first Darth Vader comic, by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca, was a strongly written series held back by off-putting art. The strength of the book’s art really comes through in these moments.
