Will the Vader comics-or other EU-bring up Padme's family?

[ChrisIII]

A lot of the Vader comics have often dealt with his past-the original had him discover the truth about his son, in part using Aphra to figure out stuff that didn't add up about Padme's funeral (Such as her still appearing pregnant). The second volume, set between ROTS and ANH (and tying in somewhat with Rebels and Fallen Order) explained that part of the reason he built a fortress on Mustafar was to ressurect Padme somehow (It also heavily implied Palpatine had a role in his creation).


More recently, Vader encountered Padme's handmaidens and some other Naboo characters such as Ric Olie who blamed him for Padme's death, Sabe (The one who was the Queen's look-alike decoy and played by Keira Knightley) in particular. Sabe recently re-entered the story (Vader himself is taking on Crimson Dawn and it's co-conspirators in the Empire).

However the article on the front page: https://www.cbr.com/star-wars-attack...eleted-scenes/ made me wonder, if the current Disney canon might bring in Padme's family at some point? Or have Luke, Leia, maybe even Ben meet their surviving relatives on their mother's side? Although I'm not sure if Leia finds out, I remember something about it in the Bloodlines novel, although she did visit Naboo in some earlier Marvel comics and sensed a connection to the place.

I dunno. If I found out my relative fell in love with a 10 year old that would go on to murder them, I'd stay as far away from that as possible.

I have always wanted to see a story of Luke and Leia going to Naboo to learn more about their mother.

[ChrisIII]

Think Leia has visited there at least twice in the comics, and the second time was also seen from a different POV in the Battlefront II game.

Well, the June solicits say "Two of Anakin's oldest friends" will return. Guessing Wald and Kitster.

I dunno about the nieces and nephews side of things, but this week's issue with its "yes, this probably has to happen" storytelling kind of made me think about Vader's potential for weird but ostensibly very human new romances to actually be a thing.

Like, I don't see it happening because everything after Mustafar paints him as so dark side that he's basically asexual and devoid of any tenderness or anything, and then the other candidate has different motivations. But being a dark and wicked fellow, with the current dynamic, I'm like "yeah, but he's a stunted and stuck person and a bit of a sick freak, like, I could see it."

^ The comic miniseries "Dark Visions" sort of dealt with that.
