A new Star Wars preview teases iconic droid C-3PO taking on Darth Vader in a decisive battle on Mustafar.
Star Wars is teasing an epic duel between two of the most unlikely opponents to face one another: Darth Vader and C-3PO!
If you're wondering how Star Wars' anxious protocol droid stands a chance against one of the most powerful Jedi/Sith Lords ever, the answer can be found in the current "Dark Droids" crossover event that's taking place in Star Wars comics.
After conversing with Luke Skywalker, The Scourge came to the realization that cyborg beings are the key link between helping take control of the power behind all organic life: The Force. Scourge used its widespread vision across multiple bodies to identify the perfect being to corrupt: Darth Vader, a cybernetic being who is also one of the most powerful Force wielders in the galaxy. Scourge made its play to get Vader but failed – but that doesn't mean the plan has changed...
Early on in Dark Droids, it was revealed that C-3PO is one of the droids that The Scourge corrupted. Well, in the new preview for Dark Droids #3, we find Scourge piloting 3PO to Castle Vadar on planet Mustafar. The AI reflects on the immense danger of the mission and the likelihood that C-3PO and other droids on site will die in the attempt. That danger doesn't stop Scourge, who jumps fully into C-3PO's body and prepares to face Vader.
Obviously, no one is really expecting C-3PO to take on Darth Vader in a direct confrontation or duel – that would be over all too quickly. Instead, the real threat of The Scourge is its corruption of tech; C-3PO could make its way into Castle Vader and corrupt its systems, turning Vader's lair into a Saw-style trap. That would definitely be an issue worth reading...0commentsRelated:
