Luke Skywalker Is The One Person InStar WarsDarth Vader Fears
InStar warfare : Darth Vader#36 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , Darth Vader eliminates an entire armyof droids who plotted to assassinate him while his ‘ allies ’ , Aphra and Ochi , watch from the pursuit . Once the scrap is done , Aphra decides to leave , as doing so now amid the pandemonium is her good scene at getting out of there active . As she ’s get out , Aphra tells Ochi that he better take in his back , as Vader will belike kill him one day just as he threatened to do to her . But , Ochi says he ’s not too apprehensive about it , and that the safest piazza for him to be is by the side of the ‘ strong person in the galaxy ’ . To that , Aphra come back that peradventure Vader is n’t the strong in the wandflower , that mayhap it ’s the Emperor . But , Ochi is n’t convinced that ’s unfeigned , as Vader never felt any modicum of fear around the Emperor . Though - Ochi noted - there was one person whose name always made Vader deed scared , “ the kid who blew up the Death Star ” .
base on this conversation , it seems as though Aphra and Ochi are correlate levels of power exhibited by a certain somebody to level of fear in Darth Vader . Aphra and Ochi were discussing who ’s strongest between Vader and Palpatine , and then suddenly they start speak about the one person Vader fears in the coltsfoot , making it seem as though Darth Vader is afraid of Luke because of Luke ’s power in the Force . But , that ’s not confirmed , and there ’s in reality a number of intellect Darth Vader could fear Luke - specially if it ’s not Luke himself whom Darth Vader fears . Ochi noted that Vader get frightened when Luke ’s name is mention , which would only ever really happen in the presence of the Emperor or a high ranking Imperial Officer . Perhaps Darth Vader feel fear when discussing Luke around them because those conversations are ordinarily about how Vader must either corrupted or kill his own Word , and the thought of doing either is overwhelming . Or , perhaps Vader knows Luke is the only soul in the wandflower who could in reality bestow him back from the darkness and redeem him with the light side of the Force , and that persuasion is what actually terrifies Vader .
Though , disregardless of why Darth Vader revere Luke Skywalker , the main takeaway from this issue is the very fear itself , especially when think that it ’s his own son - not the Emperor - who is the one somebody inStar WarsDarth Vaderis in reality scared of .
