The Time Anakin Got a DARK Glimpse Into His Future As DARTH VADER - Star Wars
2,454During the Clone Wars Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were sent far out in to the reaches of space to stop an Outer Rim Mafia group known as the Black Talon Gang, after they began producing a new type of high effective armor for the separatists that could flip the war in their favour. Chillingly, while fighting back against the scientist who was the mastermind behind the new armor, Anakin was trapped inside of it and experienced horrible foreshadowing of his future inside of his Darth Vader suit.
The story begins inside the cargo hold of a ship owned by the Black Talon Mafia, known as Talon’s Wing. On board the Talon’s Wing, Obi-Wan and Anakin are surrounded by the mobsters, in being a very dicey situation, before Obi-Wan calls out to them, telling that gangsters that the Jedi code demands that he must give them one more chance, before asking if they are going to come quietly.
The mobsters are absolutely infuriated by this, telling Obi-Wan that he has some guts to come onto their ship and demand that they come with the Jedi… Before tleling the two that nobody survived an attempt to take out the Black Talon Gang. Anakin however fires back, telling the leader “We don’t have to take your whole gang, Shorran Dak… we only have to get you!.
The Mob Boss is completely unfazed by this, continuing to enjoy his smoke before ordering his men to finish the two Jedi off and open fire on them. Obi-Wan and anakin are whipped around on their feet in an absolutely frenzy, deflecting blaster fire from every direction, before eventually directing one of the bolts into the lights above.
This leaves all of the gangsters completely blinded in the darkness, but Anakin and Obi-Wan have no trouble taking them all out since they have the force to guide them in the darkness. And if you’ve seen the other comic I covered where Anakin was still a very new Padawan and didn’t know how to use the force to guide him in darkness, this is a very nice connection to that, and shows how far he has progressed a Jedi throughout the war.
As Anakin and Obi-Wan swing their bright lighters in the pitch black room, they eventually manage to knock out every single one of the criminals, leaving them helpless on the floor. Anakin restores the lights, before asking what’s next in the plan…
Obi-Wan then tells him that they will place the gangsters into an escape pod and jettison them out of the ship, where Commander Cody can then pick them up… Anakin is relieved and ask if the mission will be over after that, but Obi-Wan has other plans.
He tells Anakin that the Mob Boss and his gang were about to meet a rogue scientist, who was developing some new weapons and armor for the separatists… And just as he says this, a massive smile washes over his face as he places on a very class suit, before asking anakin… ‘This suite is quite flattering, don’t you think”... Anakin confused and slightly worried about Obi-Wan’s new plan, but his master immediately hands him a new outfit, which leads him to believe that he will get play the part of the mafia leader.
