@@starwarsreadingclub I did, this reminds me of the Vader Comic when Vader used the portal, and once he's through it, he's represented as a black and red figure but there are always twinkling white butterflies flying around him. It's the tacit memories of his previous life that he can't escape, the same tacit memories that made his new lightsaber similar to his old one.
@@franciscocardenas4774 there’s a lot of people who have discussed it, and I have seen someone on discord commenting on it who was in a senior position in a server, claiming to have known him and what happened. I believe it to be true, but I could be incorrect.
He just couldn't escape himself, no matter how hard he tried. I actually really like how the two lightsabers look similar, but different enough to reflect the distinct personalities behind them. So glad to see you back! Thank you for the video and hope you're doing well. 😊
Thank you Donna, I'm doing well! I always enjoyed the description of how Vader created his lightsaber in The Rise of Darth Vader novel and I'm glad we were able to see how his lightsaber was created in Canon as well. I hope you are doing well too and thank you for watching as always!
Vader may of hated Anakin but he knew he couldn't escape who he is deep down, no matter how much he denies it. I am glad he is back also how have you been Donna haven't seen you in a long time.
@@zioreturnsgaming Hey, there! Good to see you!! 2021 was a rough year around here, not gonna lie. But, hopefully, 2022 will be better. Hope you're doing well, Zio. 😊
Welcome back, been a while...Vader always has trouble of letting go of his past, the fact his lightsaber design is like anakins is no surprise, a sign of his lingering memories of who he once was.
Im glad you brought that up because recalling the third book in the Bane trilogy when Luchia called his name "Des!" He said something along the lines of having to dredge up memories of a past forgotten long ago.
Is it me or is anyone else praying that life has gotten in the way and reading club is healthy happy and doing awesome, if you even see this please do a vid or a post and let us know all is well even if you don't return just say you're alright MTFBWY ALWAYS
Was at work and listening to Thrawn audio book and wondered what happened to Star Wars Reading Club. Always enjoyed the content. Sad to see you haven't posted in a long time. Hope you're doing well and hopefully you make new content soon. If not for me... for all your subscribers who love star wars.
Love you, man. Your videos are fantastic and the ending memes are great. You always gave shoutouts to everyone on stream that asked, really care for your subscribers. I bet this is a lot of work to do, and I hope you can find time in your schedule to make one sometime soon. Hate to see you've left us forever, bro.
I hope you’re doing okay SWRC ❤️ Your channel opened Star Wars legends lore to me and made me grow to love Star Wars again. You are and always will be my favorite SW channel. Keep your head up & we await your return. May the Force be with You, Always!
It's good to have you back! The Lore Master. As for Vader's newly constructed lightsaber looks more like his AotC lightsaber design to represent his shift from light to dark side, hence the color black of the emitter and activation box. I also love how the hilt represent his old past that fuels his anger which makes him stronger, such as his lost with Obi-Wan in a duel on Mustafar and other reasons.
It's been a year since you last posted. I hope you're alive, healthy and doing well in life. I hope you post a new video soon. If not for meee..... FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!!
According to other source material. Anakin's shrouded Lightsaber was designed for Form 5 heavy combat. His Sith Lightsaber is almost identical to his Apprentice Lightsaber. Which as a novice Jedi and mechanic. He considered the perfect design.
Aha you're back! "I've been looking forward to this" 😉 I'm glad to see you're back ("this is where the fun begins") & a great video to kick things off again. Looking forward to the next one 🙂
@@therealdonnawagner all is well here still reading Star Wars legends (atm cloak of deception) and playing SWTOR even though im feeling a bit out disappointed and disenfranchised with Disney canon these days, hope all is well on your end too. And yeah I miss those old days too I remember playing with him a lot on his battlefront streams.
@@eternalemperorvalkorion750 Oh, nice! I remember liking Cloak of Deception. You can't really go wrong with James Luceno. Yeah, I think a lot of us can relate to how you're feeling re: Disney's handling of the franchise. I keep hoping things will improve but, until then, I hold onto the good parts of Star Wars and try to forget the bad ones exist. 😄 You know, I was just playing BF2 recently and thinking about everyone who used to jump into games with him on the streams. That was always such a fun couple of hours a week. Definitely good times. All is well here! Keeping busy with training Weimaraners we got just over a year ago. My hope is they'll be great gun dogs. So far, they're both showing a lot of promise! But it takes a LOT of work, perhaps more than I anticipated, but I'm one of those that will stick to it until the very end. 😂 Hope you have a great weekend!
Welcome back, and I'm so glad to see you're making videos again! I used to watch your videos at the end of evenings as I finished up the night. I'm looking forward to resuming this tradition. :-)
@@DarrelsWonderland it has been stated through multiple sources - namely other Star Wars fans - that he died due to covid complications. Someone purporting to be a close friend of his said as much on a discord channel a while back. I believe it to be true. Why would he just leave?
Welcome back! I was worried something terrible had happened to you. Your return combined with another video I’ve seen today give me hope for Star Wars as a franchise.
I just keep checking back, hoping you’re there. Of all creators that become one with the history of youtube, you are one I sincerely hope to come back one day. Just tell us what you feel about a beloved trilogy or something. Don’t worry about editing. Just let us know you’re ok
Been a while. Glad to see you back. You should do a video about the vision he had while bleeding his crystal, and other times he was offered a better path, but eschewed it.
Gonna be honest, never liked the Youngling Slayer 9000, the grip just does not look comfortable. Now, Obi-wans, Qui-gons, Windus and Palpses sabers are dope
If rumours of our hosts death are true I will be genuinely devastated. I binge and re-binge playlists and videos on this channel regularly. If they are untrue I wish him a swift return when he’s ready. If he has passed then the community at large has had a huge loss. Confirmation in either direction is sadly hard to find so I continue to hope for the best. This channel gave- and still gives- a lot of joy to a great many I’m sure. I continue to hope that it is due to give more joy still and not now a legacy. Whatever the case, may the force be with you. UPDATE: As can be seen, he’s back! I’m overjoyed and so so happy that internet rumours were just that.
Anakin's classic blade was a brilliant piece of engineering created by the man himself. He can easily create a dark knight version of it that would suit his new form, without going through all those crazy mental gymnastics. As for his crystal, he would seek it out much like a Jedi would, except it would be drawn to his newfound hate and darkness. Into it he would pour his cruelty, his malice and his will to...I mean all the dark emotions that had pulled him into the Dark Side, creating the new evil crystal. During this dark quest he would encounter tests that were both physically and philosophically challenging, based on the core beliefs of the Sith. They test him in both body and soul.
I like the way that Canon and Legends sometimes come to completely opposite conclusions on the exact same question. Legends put far greater emphasis on the relationship between Darth Vader and Sidious, implying that at the beginning Sidious intended on continuing the fatherly role Palpatine played for Anakin. Going so far as to loan out his own lightsaber strikes me as a deeply personal gesture. But in canon the opposite is true. Vader was expected to carry his own weight so to speak basically from day one. Sidious is not being fatherly it seems, he is being a Master to Vader's Apprentice. Cold, clinical one could say. Sending Vader on another mission but unarmed, uncomfortable with his cybernetics. Seeing both sides, I think I prefer the Legends version of events but I see the appeal to both.
While I feel you could have said all this in far less time, it's still fun to think of how Vader's saber was essentially a remnant of his past that refused to go away; He still carried the memory of his old self with him, though he used it as a twisted weapon against all that reminded him of the past.
@StarWarsReadingClub hope you’re doing well, its been a year since your last upload. Please make more videos to atleast have a sign that all is well with you
I miss old Star Wars youtube...so many amazing creators are either lost to the algorithm or rarely upload anymore; nothing will top the 2015-2020 era.
Yeah. Makes me wonder if its simply fatigue or that they've run out of things to talk about from the universe.
I think 2013-2019 were the golden years. Especially when Jensaraai, Evanova, and GreyJedi91 were active and a trio.
I swear to go ur right
Fr bro that was around the time I got into Star Wars because there was so much awesome content out there.
