the Star Wars The community stoned last month in the news of Seems inevitable death In watto, Toydarian junk dealer and former owner of the slave owner of Anakin Skywalker. But now the weather is with us, and as all good stories, things are a little interesting than they first like.

The second issue of Vader’s nativeBesides this week from the writer Charles Soule, artists Ross and Nolan Woodard, and a young Kylo, ​​a young man in the Darth Vader of the Tito of the Theme, because of the first issue of Anakin’s life and his legacy: it is about something different from the truth, and the power to be Project and present that narration.

Here Ren and Vaneé differ. Kylo, ​​in thorns of the tumult he has passed through the events of The last jedipurpose of controlling his story, and the story of the preceding of him, in a clearly harmful way: things about vader’s things about things about vader’s things about things about the things about the vader’s things about things about the vader’s things about things about Vader’s part of Vader’s part of Vader’s about Vader’s about Vader’s about Skywalker should be removed; He truly took his lightsaber and used it to carve out an abduction in the name of Anakin on a list of Boonda Eva winners. In Kylo Ren, any historical unable to make his grandpa vision that he had in his mind – the vision he was NEED At this time of doubt – it should never exist, as he lies with himself about his own raising.

Vaneé, on the other hand, uses the power of true narration in Vader history, which reveals that he has learned most of the history of Vader because he is in line with the secret files. Although we know that Vaneé misunderstood what the past – which he / she is meant to be in Kylo without any link to Kylo again in Kylo again it will never be erased from our understanding from our understanding of our understanding of our understanding of us.

This is this ideological push-and-pull carrying us and our players so far Star Wars Fans are waiting because it previewed last month. It is intending to know who dared to slave the powerful Darth Vader, Ren brought him to Vaneé to the junkyard in the watto, with no worries. Here we get the glimphed panel in previous month previews: imagine by Vader’s eyes, but in real CANAs the Ren surmises the vision that his grandfather was in his head. Junkyard left because Vader NEED Returned, at the end of his control over the dark side, and killed the watto. He did, because Kylo Ren wanted Vader’s heritage, and through it himself, to harmony with a man, even more than a man and better can reflect).

But that is not the case, at least according to Vaneé. Vader had other things to do than to see his past in Kylo imagining, as, and therefore, Watto lived. Maybe still alive, even-Vader’s native # 2 is not certainly telling us one way or another, that vader doesn’t kill him. Watto has already died, he could leave junk trade and moved somewhere else, we didn’t know. that is the point.

Star Wars fans love facts. Who died, alive, who did what, when, where, and how. The canonical interpretation of this story driven the reams of debate analysis, it has, in many ways, especially in the decade since it has been Knocked down and reset to be filled with facts again, molding consumption of that narrative chiefly. Watto’s real death is more important than the watto itself, just for intellectual curiosity we don’t have AWARE it is. He was never a “Canon” death in the ancient widow, Vader’s native # 2 mockingly he can. And that’s important, because, good, watto is a fact. She is a shape of the facts of the life of Anakin Skywalker, a data point that stands for a little we know and all parts of the story can hide the facts. I can imagine little people who care about whether Watto is dead or alive Vader’s native Tried his fate, compared to the amount of people who seek what, the, where, and how.

And yet, the fact that we do not know the fate of this character, one seemingly so important to the tapestry of a character who’s life we ​​have spent nearly five decades being fascinated with, is far more interesting that the regurgitation of “Darth Vader went back to tatooine and killed the uncomfortably antisemitic stereotype that owned him as a kid “. This is not the first time Obele did this item in writing about Vader, even “canon” how was his light given A Holy Story Origin Where people may have imagined some greater truth, to push it against this idea that every part of Star Wars‘The story should be specifically specific, powerful, essential fact of its root.

This is the thing sitting in the heart of Vader’s nativeA story that is, so far, it is less about that heritage and more about the way we tell stories, and the ways that are better than we think. Sometimes a dead toy is just a dead toy. Except when they can be alive – and perhaps the fact that we never Learn the fact for the best.
