Finally some quality father-daughter bonding in this wholesome fanfic. Leia really pulled the uno-reverse card on this interrogation.
Not going to joke around, this has been the most complex update I’ve made so far. I would say it’s two updates in one with five additional panels for both the Padme Flashbacks and Leia’s kidnapping.
Some of the inspirations for this update are the Vader comics. I love the idea of Force-projections. Leia has the garb and appearance from before her kidnapping, and Anakin is depicted as her age, mirroring her influence on the force. I was also inspired by Ben’s interrogation of Rey in Episode 7.
I initially was going to queue this for later in the month… but it is Revenge of the Fifth. I thought I might treat y’all early, even if that means a longer wait for the next update.
Now for another mystery: who combed Leia’s hair into the clone-wars-anakin look this update? (I’d like to think it was Proxy.)
I really liked the title of “Lady Vader” given to Leia in the original Thrawn trilogy–and that Leia was somewhat uncomfortable with it. Leia got this title from the Noghri, but I like to headcanon that children of Sith traditionally inherit their parents’ title, even without becoming Lords through training.
This attaches to another headcanon of mine about the Sith: that their use of the Dark Side is akin to injecting themselves with poison over a long period of time. The result is significant damage to their bodies, which is somewhat reflected in canon. This would make it exceedingly rare for a Sith Lord to have a biological child.
