When a Jealous Darth Vader Stopped a Podrace(Canon) - Star Wars Comics Explained

Having won his last podrace as Anakin and the only known human to achieve that, Darth Vader was not going to let anyone take that away and jealousy took over.

Darth Vader Explained:

The Forbidden Force Powers Series:

All the Lightsabers Series:

May the Force be with YOU.... Always!

[dixonb.tweenerlegs]

He stopped the pod race, car jacked one of the pods and glared at the competition. "Now _this_ is pod racing."

[grass]

Vader almost ended the rebellion without knowing it

[richardschneider]

Vader "No one upstages me! Not even my own Son!!!"

[romank]

Luke should have tried spinning. That's a good move

[warpartyattheoutpost]

This reminds me of being a kid in the '80s and seeing someone else beat my high score on an arcade game.

[dauntlesswarriorproductions]

Luke Skywalker: Now THIS is podracing!
Vader: Lol naw

[giucascassabellis]

Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Darth Vader: *Childhood flashbacks intensifie*

[DarknetDude]

"NOW *THIS* IS POD RACING!"


- Little Orphan Ani

[GanonGhidorah]

Vader to the Galaxy: "I have truly lost everything...What else is there to take? What's next? Will you take saying 'Wizard' away from me as well?!"


But in all seriousness, imagine had Vader NOT interfered and simply turned to leave the race behind, only to hear that the human finishing first was named "Skywalker." He'd probably turn back and have a sudden realization...followed by a quiet and personal "that's my boy, " moment.

[t-masterrules]

If only vader hasn't being petty, the skywalker name will still be remembered in pod racing. The light saber fueling his rage must have had a lot of influence in his actions

[killer]

if Vader saw that the racer was his son, he might have watched to see if he WOULD win.

[richardbowler]

You must have Jedi reflexes to race pods

[Chisszaru]

A random human: Takes part in a podrace

Darth Vader: If no one will remember me for winning, no one will remember this guy

Luke: Should i tell my father that i almost won a podrace but lost?

[Geeler]

This shows the childish, arrogant side of him Vader

[adamsbeforeaftercreations]

I’d love to see anakin and Luke having a conversation about pod racing in the after life, only to have Luke flip out after finding that anakin blew up Luke’s chance to win a race.

Luke: “What the hell dad!!?”

Anakin: seemed legit.

[madisonatteberry]

"Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Anakin the Human pod racer?"

[justicedunham]

Like father, like son “Now THIS is pod racing “

[rodreeses]

So Darth Vader being petty because his son knew how to pod race

[internetlurker]

Vader: A part of myself lives within me, doesn't it?

[VerdeMorte]

The more and more that quote of Star Wars not having a comic to pull lore from is used, I realize just how foolish the management of it has been as of late...
