Description
" I finish what I start," says Anakin, taking a step toward his wife. His lightsaber crackles at his side.To him, the beam seems to inch ever so slightly toward her tri-blade. Is this the Force? he wonders, or am I excited for this moment? Have I longed to kill my own family...?
After training with his Sith master, Palpatine, the newly-appointed Lord Vader returns home to Coruscant to pay his family a visit. His suspicions had been right all along: Obi-wan betrayed him. Those are not his children. He can sense it. They are bastards. His wife was unfaithful, just like the corrupt Jedi Council.
"I will erase you from history. This entire planet will fall under my power. When I am done, the Jedi will be nothing but a myth."
_____________________________
It's been super fun reimagining the Clone Wars. I will draw Obi-wan vs Anakin next. They take their fight into the streets of Coruscant, where Anakin turns Obi-wan's force for good into his weakness by force pushing civilians off building tops, through windows, etc. It should be one hell of a scene.

This looks rather awesome I must admit and I am very curious to know more.
I just have one question, is that meant to be Padme or someone else?
I only ask because Padme isn't anywhere near as fair-haired as this woman appears to be.

Thanks!
To answer your question, in my mind, I didn't see her as Padme. Whoever his wife is in this picture is a high-ranking member of the Jedi Council. They were a power couple but when he saw her fly up the ranks, he became jealous and started to bend the rules to attain more power. When he was away finding the Dark Side and resurrecting Emperor Palpatine, everyone assumed he was dead. While his wife never remarried, she did get involved with Obi-wan, which Anakin did not take lightly. Yeah... totally retconning everything but it was just all in good fun.

Well that's quite a fascinating re-spinning of the tale certainly.
I quite like the idea I admit.

This is a gripping brutal scene. The set up goes a long way with this too.

Thanks! This was fun, but Star Wars is a tetchy subject. I had several fans hurl insults at me over at a couple groups on FB. I shrugged it off, but it did dampen the fun a little. I probably won't do any more of these.

That sucks. Star Wars is ridiculously politically charged these days.

Yeah... I think I'll stick to the Expanse. Their fans are a lot more fun to be around.

Watched the first season of that. It was fun. Didn't really feel motivated to go onto the 2nd season though.

You're being totally hipster....
Though you are actually right. A lot of my favorite sci fi franchises did have a rocky start.
