Who Survives, Who Perishes, Who Reveals Watto's Narrative?
Revised Article:
Hold onto your lightsabers, Star Wars fans! The recent issue of Legacy of Vader is turning the galaxy on its head. The story follows Kylo Ren and Vaneé as they delve into the complicated narrative of Darth Vader's past, challenging the notion of truth and the power it wields.
The story centers around Kylo Ren, still grappling with the chaos from The Last Jedi, who is determined to control the story of his ancestors. His approach is destructive, wanting to eradicate any history that doesn’t align with his vision of them. He showcases this when he carves a gash over Anakin Skywalker’s name in a list during his visit to Tatooine.
Conversely, Vaneé holds the power of authentic narrative, having delved into secret files on Vader kept by Palpatine. Despite misinterpreting the significance of Vader’s past, he repeatedly closes the argument that one can never fully erase someone’s history from how they are perceived.
The anticipated scene that fans have waited for since the preview revolves around the search for the person who enslaved Darth Vader. With the mindset that Vader would have slaughtered Watto, Kylo Ren's incarnation of his grandfather's legacy, Ren and Vaneé visit Watto's junkyard. However, contrary to Ren's expectations, Vader didn’t kill Watto.
This revelation leaves the fate of Watto uncertain, leading to a captivating debate among Star Wars enthusiasts. What happened to Watto? Is he dead or alive, and why does it even matter? Fanatics of the franchise usually crave facts like these. However, in this instance, the mystery surrounding Watto's fate is far more intriguing than the confirmation of his death.
Charles Soule, the writer, has a history of challenging the notion that every aspect of Star Wars carries an elaborate, important fact. In this case, he gives Watto's death a simple, humble backstory to resist the idea that every facet of the Star Wars story should be predestined and grand.
In essence, Legacy of Vader serves as a probing exploration of storytelling, its manipulation, and its implications. It emphasizes the importance of acceptance, acknowledging that not all parts of a story are as significant as we might imagine. Sometimes, a dead character remains just that - sometimes, there is more mystery in the unknown.
