A preview for the upcoming Star Wars: Legacy of Vader comic reveals Darth Vader killing Watto, prompting a wave of unexpected and humorous reactions from fans on X.
A shocking death in the Star Wars universe has sent ripples through the fandom, with fans reacting in a hilarious and unexpected way. In a groundbreaking reveal, Darth Vader has been shown to have killed Watto , the junk dealer from Tatooine who enslaved Anakin's mother. This revelation comes from a preview for the upcoming Star Wars : Legacy of Vader comic series, which stars Kylo Ren as he follows in Darth Vader 's footsteps.
Mark Paniccia, Marvel Comics' Senior Editor, shared the preview on X, showing Vader returning to Tatooine and ending Watto's life. This confirmation of Watto's death, a character whose presence in the series is relatively minor, has sparked a wave of reactions, mainly humorous, on X. Some fans have jokingly mourned Watto's demise, sharing edited images of memorials dedicated to him and even claiming to see his shape in passing clouds. Others have playfully lamented missed opportunities for team-ups between Watto and iconic characters like Anakin, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Sebulba. Some fans, however, have chosen to celebrate Watto's demise, with one user posting an image of Darth Vader striking a pose over Watto's grave, indicating his satisfaction with the act. The irony of these reactions lies in the fact that Watto is widely despised in the Star Wars universe for his cruel actions. His death at the hands of Darth Vader serves as a satisfying conclusion to a storyline that began with Anakin's mother's enslavement. While Darth Vader's actions are morally complex, this particular act provides a sense of closure and justice for fans who have long wished for Watto's downfall. The death of Watto, even if met with humorous reactions, marks a significant shift in the Star Wars canon. It adds depth to Darth Vader's character, showcasing his capacity for vengeance and reminding us of the lasting impact of his actions. As fans continue to digest this unexpected development, one thing is clear: the Star Wars universe, even with its lighthearted moments, continues to hold a powerful grip on our imaginations
