Star Wars Adventures: Tales of Vader's Castle #5

The last issue finally has an appearance from the Dark Lord of the Sith. 

I wasn't such a big fan of this issue as the loose ends got tied up just a little too neat and clean for my taste. I understand that this is an all-ages book. But even though the Star Wars films are rated PG but honestly, they're all-ages friendly. And yet characters die and stuff. 

Yes, characters die in this horror anthology mini-series. But those who survive and such- it was just too Disney of a result. 

Speaking of Disney, the more the House of Mouse controls the Star Wars universe, the more convinced I am that Darth Vader is secretly working for the Rebel Alliance. Such a great menacing character when done by Lucas. But now as a Disney character, he's making too many 'oh, shucks' mistakes. I'm willing to put down $20 that one day, under Disney's control, we're going to find out Anakin Skywalker never really turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Instead, he went as a double agent to bring Palpatine down once and for all.

A great series that creeped me out. If only the final issue was up to the other four issues' standards.

Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
