After the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren sets out to destroy the past, and in the process gets a guided tour of Darth Vader’s history in Charles Soule’s Legacy of Vader.
We are dipping our toes into the world of Star Wars comics from Marvel in this episode of Podcast Stardust. Following the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren installs himself as the Supreme Leader of the First Order. However, he is still tormented by what has happened in his past. Therefore, he tries to “kill the past,” but encounters an unexpected presence on Mustafar at Vader’s castle. Kylo Ren accepts an offer to learn more of Vader’s past in an attempt to acquire more power. Along the way, he is confronted by the role of his legacy and his past and what it means for him and his future. We’re breaking this fantastic Star Wars story from Charles Soule in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this Star Wars comic series from Marvel written by Charles Soule,
- The theme of exploring the conflict of “killing the past” versus “we are the past,”
- The role of General Hux in this series and the sequel trilogy,
- The return of Darth Vader’s assistant, Vaneé,
- Kylo Ren’s visits to Tatooine and Naboo, and
- What is it that Kylo Ren is actually trying to achieve.
