The latest chapter of the "Vader Down" crossover delivers more of what made the first two chapters so enjoyable. While Vader singlehandedly decimates the Rebel Alliance, Luke, Han and friends butt heads with Dr. Aphra and her deadly droid duo. This issue does little to truly advance the plot or delve into the mysteries of Vrogas Vas, but it's a heck of a lot of fun all the same.
Readers who haven't been following Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca's Darth Vader comic are now finally getting a taste of how delightfully twisted Beetee and Double Zero are. As much trouble as R2-D2 caused in the Prequels, just imagine what an astromech droid designed for all-out war can accomplish, especially with a torture-obsessed protocol droid backing him up. Aaron provides a memorable showcased for these two villains as they clash with our heroes. This is easily the silliest Star Wars comic Marvel has published this year. And for the most part, the approach works. Occasionally Aaron's script veers a little too far into slapstick comedy territory (particularly a scene involving Aphra and Han meeting face to face), but for the most part it serves as a reminder that Star Wars is supposed to be fun.
