I love the artwork, it's adorable, but the text is really hard to read.
Only a maxter of evil, barth
Yeah, it didn't come through in the picture very well. It's much easier to read in person lol
Had me wondering who Barth is :) Fancy font.
Those pixel art designs look familiar… did you base them on Tiny Death Star?
I made them using this kit from Amazon!
This is great, but the line in the movie always annoyed me.
Darth is just a title, so it doesn't make sense to call him that. He should really say "Only a master of evil, Vader". Otherwise every sith would just be called Darth.
What’s wrong with calling people Darth? It’s like addressing someone as “Captain” or “Doctor”.
Yeah, like if someone was talking to Master Yoda, they can say "thank you, Master."
Yes, I figure this was due to a bit of retconning on Lucas’ part. When he wrote Star Wars: A New Hope, perhaps he intended “Darth” as a name rather than a title. It wasn’t until the Phantom Menace he introduced the usage of Darth as a title.
Even so, how many times are other character addressed by their titles, such as Padawan, Master, Senator, etc., not to mention military titles like captain and admiral. In that context, I think it could make sense for Obi-wan to call Vader “Darth.”
I think there's enough room for interpretation for Darth to make sense. You could even postulate that addressing him purely by his title and without his name is Obi-Wan putting a spotlight on the fact that Vader has become less a person and more his position.
Yeah, it's a bit of a retcon, but one that was handled well, albeit clumsily. Darth was probably going to be his real name at one point before they decided it was more appropriate as a title.
I always like to re-interpret that scene as Obi-Wan using a bit of wit in the heat of battle to chastise his former apprentice. Him referring to Vader as simply "Darth" is a refutation of Vader's claim that he is the master/more powerful one, and it drives his point home that he would never be better or more powerful than a Jedi Master because he had already embraced the Sith ideology and even taken their title.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Nice work!
