Star Wars #14 offers up the penultimate chapter of the "Vader Down" crossover. It's also a fitting showcase for everything this crossover has done well and failed to accomplish. There's plenty of fun spectacle to be had as even more parties enter the fray, but it's also tough to ignore that the storyline is still dancing around the mysteries of Vrogas Vas and its Jedi legacy even this late in the game. This issue leaves the impression that "Vader Down" may not really have that much substance beneath all the noise and frenzy.
Granted, the nonstop carnage is still fun to read. Now that the cybernetic Mon Calamari villain Karbin has entered the fray, Star Wars fans have the closest thing to an answer they're likely to get regarding the question, "Who would win in a fight between Darth Vader and General Grievous?". Karbin offers a physical challenge for Vader none of the other characters could manage. He and his troops also significantly shake up the balance of power, to the point where Dr. Aphra and her droids find themselves reluctantly aiding the Rebels instead of trying to kill them. The more chaotic this conflict becomes, the more fun it offers.
