Star Wars: Darth Vader (Dark Lord Of The Sith) Comic Dub Series Volume 1
Project Overview
Star Wars: Darth Vader, alternatively titled Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith, is a canonical comic book series written by Charles Soule, with art from Giuseppe Camuncoli, that was published by Marvel Comics on June 7, 2017 as a second volume of the 2015 series of the same name. On December 18, 2018, the series ended with its 25th issue.
Beginning during the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith directly after Darth Vader discovers that his wife, Padmé Amidala, has died, the series chronicles Vader going on various missions across the galaxy, all the while hunting the few surviving Jedi alongside his band of dark side apprentices known as the Inquisitorius.
I am looking for talented voice actors who can bring these characters to life. Hopefully, my direction will help. For the characters that have appeared in the film franchise, tv shows, and video games I will be looking for a sort of impression of the characters with a bit of your own style in the roles. For the characters that haven’t appeared in other Star Wars content, I'm looking for people who can discover the right voice for the character(s) they want to play. People who can give their own spin that feels right for the character.
You audition for the character you think you can do well in. If you are given the role, you'll be given a list of the characters' appearances, the pages they appear in for you to record the lines, and an overview of the character to help you get to know the character (The overview will also be there in the characters audition spot down below). Make sure to read the specific scenes your character is in so you can understand the situation the characters are in and to know what lines your character has.
We want dedicated voice actors that will stick with the project! It's a short enough series (25 Issues) and if you are given a big role, we expect you to commit to the role. We will only be working on the first Volume for now. The later Volumes will come after we finish the first one. There are many other roles in the later Volumes so keep an eye out for those Casting Calls too if you’re interested.
When recording your lines do multiple different takes so I can have a pick at which is the best while I'm editing (3 good takes).
Mic quality has to be decent (No background noise, no muffled audio, no movement of the mic while recording, no white noise, etc.)
It is a NON-PAID project. However, like many free projects, I will make sure to share your social media pages and give you exposure to other projects. You will also get experience.
You will be credited at the end of each issue you're in, links to whatever social media you want to show off will be in the description and I will give you a recommendation for your work on Casting Call Club! I will also have you in mind if I'm working on any other projects if you are interested. However, for now, we're just working on this particular series.
Make sure you have Discord and an email so you can contact you and send you your stuff. If you have Discord you can join the server I have with the other VA's :)
Having fun is the main goal here! Thank you for reading and hopefully, you'll be interested!
Here is a playlist of what we've done in The Walking Dead series so far (It will show you what our projects are like):

Backstory:
Anakin Skywalker was a legendary Force-sensitive human male who was a Jedi Knight of the Galactic Republic and the prophesied Chosen One of the Jedi Order, destined to bring balance to the Force. Also known as "Ani" during his childhood, Skywalker earned the moniker "Hero With No Fear" from his accomplishments in the Clone Wars. His alter ego, Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith, was created when Skywalker turned to the dark side of the Force, pledging his allegiance to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious at the end of the Republic Era.
A vergence in the Force, Anakin Skywalker was born on the desert planet of Tatooine in the Outer Rim Territories in 41 BBY. He was the son of Shmi Skywalker, a slave who conceived a child without a father. His blood contained over twenty-thousand midi-chlorians, surpassing Grand Master Yoda and all other Jedi in the galaxy. Qui-Gon Jinn, the Jedi Master who discovered Skywalker during the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, theorized that Skywalker was conceived by the midi-chlorians. Following the Battle of Naboo, the Jedi High Council admitted Anakin Skywalker into the Order as the Padawan of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi despite feeling that he was too old and emotional to adhere to the Jedi Code. Skywalker remained a Padawan through the beginning of the Clone Wars, instigated by events set in motion by Count Dooku. Although Jedi doctrine prohibited personal relationships, Anakin Skywalker had a secret wife, Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo. During the early days of the Clone Wars, Skywalker served as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic, commanding the clone troopers of the elite 501st Legion against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After receiving his knighthood, Skywalker oversaw the Jedi training of his own apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. By 19 BBY, when Tano walked away from the Jedi Order, Skywalker began to struggle with feelings of failure towards his apprentice and the Order itself.
Following the death of Count Dooku during the Battle of Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker's faith in the Jedi was further shaken when he was put on the Jedi Council without the rank of master. He also learned that Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine was Darth Sidious, the elusive Dark Lord of the Sith who orchestrated the war in order to take over the galaxy. Manipulated into believing that the Jedi had failed him and coupled with his fear of losing Amidala in childbirth, Skywalker betrayed and turned against the Jedi Order, believing Sidious had the knowledge to cheat death. Consumed by the persona of Darth Vader, the fallen Jedi Knight marched his legion on the Jedi Temple of Coruscant where they executed its inhabitants, including Jedi younglings, as part of Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge. Vader was then sent to Mustafar to exterminate the Separatist Council at the behest of his Sith Master, who became the self-proclaimed Galactic Emperor. Vader subsequently sustained severe injuries in his duel with Kenobi, and was rebuilt as an armored cyborg while his wife died of a broken heart, though not before giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa who were hidden from their father and the Emperor as the Galactic Empire rose to power.
When We See Him:
Immediately after his surgery, the Emperor took Vader to a balcony overlooking the old Jedi Temple. There, he and Vader watched as Mas Amedda directed a ceremonial burning of the lightsabers of all the Jedi who had been killed in the Temple. As they listened to Amedda's speech, the Emperor asked if his apprentice knew how or why Sith lightsaber blades were red in color. Vader replied that he did not, as the Temple's information on the subject had been "incomplete." The Emperor laughed and contemptuously mused that the Jedi had been uncomfortable with the information and had buried it as a result. He then explained that kyber crystals felt pain just like any living being, and could be made to bleed after a fashion by pouring rage, pain, and hate into them. He asked Vader if he understood, to which Vader replied that he did, stating that he could have given him any of the burning Jedi lightsabers to corrupt, even Yoda's. But he had not, as Vader realized that the crystal of a Sith's lightsaber should be taken directly from a Jedi by that Sith.

Darth Vader (Cold and Unimpressed) responding to The Grand Inquisitors protest for chopping off The Sixth Brothers arm. Something he himself has experienced many times before. “Loss… He will never forget it. None of them will. The Emperor created the Inquisitorius Program to hunt down and kill any Jedi who escaped his Purge. Your people are not ready, Grand Inquisitor.”
Darth Vader (Cold and Calculated) informing his master why he had to kill the two young Inquisitors. “Fifth Brother informed me that he observed the woman allowing Eeth Koth’s wife and daughter to escape. She only recaptured the child upon realizing she had been seen. I had my suspicions about her, my master. She had already ensnared another of the Inquisitors. She was building a coalition against us. I removed the infection before it could spread.”
Darth Vader (Intimidating, Cold and Threatening) approaching a Jedi Master, igniting his lightsaber. “It is delusion to think your actions have had any consequence. The Fortress stands. The Inquisitorius continues its work. And I have come for you…”
Backstory:
Darth Sidious, born Sheev Palpatine and also simply known as The Emperor, was a male human Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic Empire, with his reign lasting from 19 BBY to 4 ABY. Rising to power in the Galactic Senate as the senator of Naboo, the secretive Sith Lord cultivated two identities, Sidious and Palpatine, using both to further his political career and deceive his way into accomplishing his goal. He orchestrated the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order through the Clone Wars, and then established his reign over the galaxy.
A vergence in the Force, Anakin Skywalker was born on the desert planet of Tatooine in Born on the Mid Rim planet Naboo in 84 BBY as the High Republic Era ended, Sidious possessed a strong connection to the Force, and was secretly trained in the ways of the Sith by Darth Plagueis. He eventually betrayed and killed his Sith Master, in order to train his own Sith apprentice, Darth Maul, for the Rule of Two limited their ranks to two Sith Lords at any given time. As a result of the Invasion of Naboo, a crisis orchestrated by Sidious, the Senate elected Palpatine as Supreme Chancellor. The Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars were masterminded by Sidious and his new apprentice, Darth Tyranus, in an effort to achieve galactic dominance. Following an attempt to arrest the chancellor, the Great Jedi Purge commenced with Sidious enacting Order 66.
With the Jedi all but extinct, Sidious installed the New Order in the Republic's place, declaring himself Galactic Emperor and bringing an end to the millennia of democracy. Shortly after betraying and causing the death of Tyranus, he took on a new apprentice, having lured the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and transforming him into Darth Vader. Their reign was virtually unchallenged for a generation until the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
When We See Him:
After what the Emperor would call a "long night," Skywalker was surgically reconstructed as a cyborg and encased in the armor and mask that would forever hide away who he had once been from the galaxy. As the procedure ended and the Sith apprentice rose, the Emperor approached him. Vader's first query was to know whether or not his wife was safe. The Emperor told him that he had killed Amidala in his anger. This final loss sent Vader over the edge of pure wrath and anguish, completing his transition into the apprentice Sidious had spent decades grooming. In his rage, Vader used his new limbs to tear away the restraints that held him to the operating table and the Force to destroy the droids who had just saved his life, before stepping unsteadily onto his new legs and screaming his despair to the galaxy as a satisfied Sidious looked on with a devilish smile.
Vader then turned his rage onto the Emperor, throwing him into the wall of the operating room with the Force. He angrily berated his master for promising that he could save his wife from death. The Emperor conceded that he had failed him in that regard but countered that, with her death, Amidala had given him something so much stronger: pain. This pain would fuel his power for decades and make him the dreaded Sith apprentice that Sidious had always coveted. It would also allow him to live. After a tense few moments, Vader released his master and proclaimed that he would live. Satisfied, the Emperor then assaulted Vader with Force lightning, pointing out his apprentice's lack of a lightsaber. Afterward, Sidious warned Vader never to use the Force against him in such a way again, or he would finish what Kenobi would not.

Emperor Palpatine (Threatening but also Manipulating) educating his apprentice about becoming a Sith Lord and what they must do to secure their future. “That blade belonged to another. A Jedi. You are a Sith. I realize this has been a… Traumatic time for you. But if you touch me with the Force again, I will finish what Kenobi could not. You are my friend, Lord Vader. I do hope we never find ourselves in this position again. Rise. The great work must continue. You think of revenge. You wish to leave, to find the source of all your pain. I can sense it. Set such feelings aside. Your personal vendettas pale next to the needs of our Galactic Empire. Come with me. I wish to show you something…”
Emperor Palpatine (Firm but counselling) advising his apprentice to embrace the Dark Side. To become the Sith Lord he wants Vader to be. "Are you at loss, my friend? Take heart. Your path is simple. Embrace the Dark Side. Bend it to your will, and it will provide everything you need... Your power will become endless, Lord Vader. And then we shall rule... As one...."
(The Emperor’s Iconic Evil Laugh)
Backstory:
Wilhuff Tarkin was a male human Eriaduan bureaucrat, military officer, and politician whose career spanned from the final years of the Galactic Republic into the reign of its successor state, the Galactic Empire.
Tarkin, a member of the Tarkin family, one of Eriadu's pioneers, served in the Galactic Republic's Judicial Department before returning to his homeworld to serve as its governor. When the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic war between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, began, he enlisted in the Republic Navy, becoming a commissioned officer.
Tarkin continued to rise in power with the proclamation of a new regime, the Galactic Empire, ruled by the self-appointed Emperor Palpatine. Joining the ranks of the New Order's regional governors, Tarkin oversaw the needs of the new Imperial Army and, alongside Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart administered Project War-Mantle to transition the clone trooper army into an army of conscripted soldiers. As the first Grand Moff, Tarkin oversaw the Outer Rim Territories and was also involved in the secret construction of the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station. By this time, Governor Tarkin was seen as the third member of the unofficial triumvirate that led the Empire, including the Emperor himself and Darth Vader, whom he once knew as Anakin Skywalker. As provincial administrator of the regions of space along the galactic frontier, he sought to enforce Imperial rule on restive worlds such as Lothal, where rebel cells grew increasingly bold in their opposition to the Empire.
When We See Him:
A few days after the Declaration of the New Order, Tarkin journeyed to the Emperor's office on Coruscant, where he reported on the progress of the construction of the Death Star to the Emperor and Grand Vizier Mas Amedda. He reported that it would either meet or surpass expectations. Amedda then asked of the superlaser, to which Tarkin began to state that early tests were successful. However, he was interrupted by the arrival of a heavily injured Darth Vader, who blasted two of the guards into the office window, knocking them unconscious. Tarkin, having never seen Vader before, expressed concern for the Emperor's safety, but the Emperor replied that he was safe and dismissed both Tarkin and Amedda.
Sometime later, after an assassination attempt on him, Vader sought to teach members of the Imperial Officer Corps of his power. He assembled a list of officers with access codes to Imperial systems at Level 1A1 and above, which included Tarkin himself. Although the Emperor himself approved of Vader's plan, he specifically requested Tarkin be spared, as he was required. Vader then went on to execute five randomly chosen officers at a Coruscant auditorium, demonstrating to the rest of the gathered forces his strength. As time went by, Tarkin would work with Vader on several successful missions

Backstory:
Clone troopers, also known as Republic troopers, Republic troops, Republic soldiers, Regs, and nicknamed the "Boys in White", were highly trained soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic. Representing the future of galactic warfare, clones were designed to be far superior to battle droids. During the last years of the Galactic Republic, clones formed the backbone of the Republic Military, which waged war against the droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Clone Wars were named after the Republic's clone army, which became symbolic of the conflict that had spread throughout the galaxy after a millennium of peace.
Clone troopers were grown on the planet Kamino at the request of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who commissioned the Kaminoans to build an army for the Republic. After Sifo Dyas' death, the project was taken over by the Sith. Clones were modeled on a human template, the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, although their genetic structure was modified to make them less independent and more docile than their progenitor. They were also designed to age at twice the rate of natural humans, accelerating their growth and making them ready for combat in a decade's time. As the Separatist Crisis gave way to open war, the Galactic Senate empowered Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to call the clone troopers into action, leading to their debut on the battlefield of Geonosis. For three years, clones fought the Separatist droids on all fronts across the galaxy. They were loyal to their Jedi Generals and the Supreme Chancellor; though some clones questioned their service, leading to isolated cases of desertion and treason, most were proud to serve the Republic as it was the only life they had ever known.
Galactic history was forever changed by a hidden behavioral modification biochip implanted in every clone, which was part of the Sith's plot to destroy the Jedi. Chancellor Palpatine, discovered by the Jedi to be the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, as well as the reason behind the Clone Wars, branded the Jedi as the enemies of the state and issued Order 66, with the latter being a call for the annihilation of the Jedi Order. All across the galaxy, the clones turned against their generals, slaughtering them and storming the Jedi Temple on Coruscant under the stewardship of the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Sidious subsequently assumed absolute power as the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Galactic Empire. Clones initially served as Imperial stormtroopers in the New Order but were eventually replaced by human recruits and conscripts.
When We See Them:
FOR EXAMPLE: With clones beginning to be dispatched to secure Jedi sites instead of active combat, Ding and Kicker were part of the clone force sent to a Mid Rim way station named the Brighthome, which the former trooper feared represented the overall future of their kind; while new soldiers would be able to fight the enemies of the Empire, he feared the clones would be reduced to clean up operations. Nevertheless, the two thought they had a chance to prove themselves when an individual believed to be a surviving Jedi attacked the station. In reality, the intruder was Darth Vader, who had elected to not send out his clearance codes to fight the clones aboard. Vader slaughtered the majority of the troops who came against him, and, although Ding and Kicker briefly gained an advantage over the Sith Lord, Vader killed both with a Force choke, allowing him to leave for the moon of Al'doleem.

Backstory:
The Grand Inquisitor was the title adopted by a Pau'an male Jedi Knight who turned to the dark side of the Force and became the leader of the Inquisitorius, a band of Jedi hunters who served the Galactic Empire. The Grand Inquisitor was once a Jedi Temple Guard and was involved in the events surrounding the bombing of the Jedi Temple during the Clone Wars, arresting the innocent and later exonerated Padawan Ahsoka Tano as well as the true culprit, Barriss Offee. After his fall to the dark side, the Grand Inquisitor was responsible for hunting down and eliminating Jedi during the Great Jedi Purge. Selected by the Emperor, Darth Sidious himself, for the position of Grand Inquisitor, he personally served the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, from whom he received his orders. Throughout his tenure he proved to be one of the regime's most proficient tools in eradicating the last of the Jedi Order, being intimately familiar with the records of the Jedi Temple.
The events with Offee and Tano left the future Grand Inquisitor feeling disaffected, and he lost faith in the Jedi Order. This left him susceptible to the pull of the dark side of the Force, and ultimately fell to the dark side. However, the Pau'an was still a Jedi by the time the Clone Wars ended, as he was a survivor of Order 66.
At the end of the war, the Supreme Chancellor—secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious—transformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire and declared himself Emperor of the galaxy. During this time, the Emperor recruited him to become Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisitorius when he promised the Jedi Knight the chance to read through the secrets of the Jedi Archives.
When We See Him:
The Inquisitor came into the service of the Empire and the Sith, though he was not a Sith himself. When the Inquisitor entered the Jedi Temple's Archives, he was confronted by the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who was once Anakin Skywalker before his own fall to the dark side. He and the cyborg then fought each other until the latter damaged his lightsaber. The fight was then stopped by the Emperor, who explained to Lord Vader who the Inquisitor and the Inquisitorius were. They then went to the Inquisitorius Headquarters in The Works to meet with the other Inquisitors.
Vader then tasked the Inquisitor with hunting down and eliminating any Jedi who had survived Order 66, the order given to the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic to destroy the Jedi Order. To accomplish this task, the Inquisitor was trained in the ways of the dark side and studied the records of the Jedi Temple in order to better know his enemies. Seeing how his new master employed brutal training methods that resulted in the loss of limbs from various of his Inquisitors, the Grand Inquisitor questioned Vader's methods, but the Sith Lord responded by saying that he was teaching loss to the Inquisitors and that they still fought like Jedi. After some arguing, The Grand Inquisitor reminded Vader the if the Inquisitors were to fail, said failure would be reflected on him as the Emperor appointed him to train them.

Backstory:
Mas Amedda was a Chagrian male politician hailing from the planet Champala who served as Grand Vizier following the Galactic Republic's reorganization into the Galactic Empire at the end of the Clone Wars, a pan-galactic conflict between the Republic and its splinter state, the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A Chagrian with impeccable political skills, Amedda served as the Vice Chair of the Republic Senate in the chancelleries of Finis Valorum and his successor, Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, something that Amedda was privy to knowing. In an alien gesture of authority, he would often punctuate his calls for order with a flicker of his long, forked tongue. Though he believed himself to be the pinnacle of the Empire in the wake of Emperor Palpatine's death, Amedda was instead remembered by history as a weak-willed sycophant of the Emperor.
With the galaxy at war, Amedda continued to serve in the Office of the Chancellor, leading the Strategic Advisory Cell and supporting Palpatine in his decisions as a wartime leader. As the war came to a close, the time for the Sith Grand Plan to be enacted arrived. Palpatine enacted Order 66, which had the clone troopers turn on their Jedi Generals and assassinate them, and, with Amedda by his side, created the Galactic Empire, the successor state to the Galactic Republic. In the chaotic repercussions that followed shortly thereafter, Grand Master Yoda confronted Sidious with Amedda in attendance. After the two engaged in a lightsaber duel, Amedda officiated a ceremony outside the burned Jedi Temple, in which he burned many-a-lightsaber that had belonged to the fallen Jedi. Amedda was rewarded for his loyalty to Palpatine, and he prospered under the Empire, serving as the Grand Vizier in the Imperial Ruling Council. One of the most respected figures in the fascist government, military leaders heeded Amedda's summons on behalf of Palpatine, while governors dreamed of being thought worthy of his attention.
When We See Him:
After having relayed the Emperor's message to Captain Kagi, Amedda spoke at a large public rally outside the former Jedi Temple to commemorate the Order's eradication. The Chagrian's speech proclaimed the Jedi's oppression and treachery to be over at the hands of Darth Sidious and heralded an "age of freedom" for the galaxy. In conjunction with the fiery address, Imperial stormtroopers dumped a basket of confiscated lightsabers into a large incinerator to be burned before the gathered crowd. Amedda himself added Yoda's lightsaber, lost by the Jedi Master during the duel in the Senate, to the crucible. The public demonstration ended after the kyber crystals in the lightsabers produced a large energy discharge from within the inferno.

Backstory:
Padmé Amidala Naberrie was a human female senator who represented the people of Naboo during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Prior to her career in the Galactic Senate, Amidala was the elected ruler of the Royal House of Naboo. A political idealist, she advocated for the preservation of democracy as well as a peaceful resolution to the Clone Wars. However, her secret marriage to the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker would have a lasting effect on the future of the galaxy for decades to come.
Born in 46 BBY during the Age of the Republic, Padmé Naberrie was raised by her parents, Ruwee Naberrie and his wife Jobal, on the peaceful Mid Rim world of Naboo. Despite the humble background of the Naberrie family, Padmé was identified early for her potential in public service. Devoting her life to civic duty, she was elected queen and, therefore, adopted the regnal name "Amidala" in 32 BBY. Due to the machinations of her advisor, Senator Sheev Palpatine, Amidala's reign was put to the test by the Trade Federation's blockade and subsequent invasion of Naboo. Unable to fight the Federation's army of battle droids without assistance, the queen beseeched the Galactic Senate on Coruscant for help, only to see her efforts hampered by bureaucracy and procedure. Although she ultimately liberated her homeworld with the help of the Jedi Order and the Gungan Grand Army, her decision to cast a Vote of No Confidence against Finis Valorum enabled Palpatine to become the Supreme Chancellor.
Following her reign, Amidala joined the Senate and struggled to resolve the Separatist Crisis through diplomacy, becoming a leading voice in the Loyalist Committee by 22 BBY. After surviving an assassination attempt planned by the Trade Federation, she was removed from the capital and sent back to Naboo under the protection of Padawan Anakin Skywalker. Though the Jedi Code forbade personal relationships, deeming attachment, and possession unbecoming of a Jedi, the two gradually became closer as their feelings for each other grew. In the aftermath of the First Battle of Geonosis, Amidala secretly married her Jedi protector, despite her own reservations about their relationship and the consequences they would face if the truth ever came to light. Their subsequent interactions were limited throughout the Clone Wars, with Amidala continuing to advocate peaceful solutions in the Senate while Skywalker served on the front lines as a Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Republic.
In the waning months of the pan-galactic conflict, Amidala revealed to her husband that she was pregnant. As a result of Skywalker's fear of loss, he was seduced by the dark side of the Force, believing that by becoming a Sith Lord he would gain the power to prevent his wife from dying in childbirth. Amidala witnessed Emperor Palpatine's declaration that her fears had come true; the Republic had become the Galactic Empire. After she learned of her husband's transformation into a Sith, she confronted him on Mustafar in the hopes that he had not truly changed, but he instead attempted to kill her. She ultimately died of a broken heart after giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Amidala Skywalker. With her dying breath, she insisted that there was still good in the former Anakin Skywalker, who embraced the persona of Darth Vader throughout the reign of the Empire.
When We See Her:
Amidala's death haunted Vader for the rest of his life. Despite the supremely brutal and ruthless being the Sith Lord became, he could never let go of the emotional agony caused by his wife's passing.
Immediately after the Battle of Fortress Vader, Vader used a portal to the dark side created by Darth Momin in an attempt to revive Amidala. After experiencing visions of his past and battling his way through apparitions of his many former mentors and companions, he finally found an apparition of Amidala standing on the balcony where they had married. The Amidala apparition repeated Skywalker's first lines to Amidala, and Vader, reverting back to Skywalker, begged it to return with him. The Amidala apparition refused and threw itself off the balcony, strangling itself to death and then being incinerated in a flash of lightning. As Vader looked on, he saw a blue light in the distance, out of which emerged the apparition of a mysterious Jedi who blasted him back into the present. Vader then destroyed the portal. Upon being contacted by his master, he was asked whether he had found what he was looking for. Vader replied in the affirmative, looking upon the field of corpses that had been caused by his experiment

Padme (Hopeful) answering a question about the future of the galaxy. “An end to this war, for one. And perhaps I’m asking too much. But I’d like to see a galaxy where systems aren’t forced to choose a side out of fear. I’ve always argued for peace. Tried to prevent the suffering of my own people and the greater galaxy. Let’s just say that today isn’t my first time being shot at. But trying to serve the greater good doesn’t exactly make you popular. This war breaks my heart more than I can say. The wounds run deep. But I still believe in what the Republic stands for. Everything we’ve worked so hard to build. I’ve given it my whole heart. My whole life. And I have to believe that the Republic will emerge from this war more united than ever.”
Padme (Cold, mocking and frightening) haunting Anakin in a nightmare. Reciting a line he told her when they first met. “Are you an angel? They’re the most beautiful creatures in the universe…”
Padme Amidala (Distraught, Afraid) pleading her husband to stop what he is doing. “I don’t know you anymore… Anakin. You’re breaking my heart! You’re going down a path I can’t follow… Because of what you’ve done. What you plan to do. Stop! Stop now, come back! I love you!”
Backstory:
Kirak Infil'a was a male Jedi Master who was active between the High Republic Era and the final years of the Galactic Republic. Infil'a specialized in combat during his time as an active member of the Jedi Order. At some point in his career as a Jedi he chose to take the Barash Vow which forbade him from interacting with the Jedi Order as a form of penance. Because he was not an active member of the Jedi Order during Order 66, Infil'a escaped execution.
Sometime later, he faced the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the already damaged Sith Lord off of a cliff. Despite severe damage to his suit, Vader survived the fall, and repaired himself with parts from Infil'a's droid, Arex. During their final confrontation, security personnel of the city fired at the two, making Vader force push them off a cliff, but Infil'a saved them. Vader exploited Infil'a's compassion for innocents again by flooding the city nearby, and, while Infil'a was trying to stop the flood, Vader pulled Infil'a's lightsaber from his belt, and, after a brief exchange of words, with Infil'a pleading with Vader to take his life, but spare the innocent citizens, Vader snapped the Jedi's neck with the Force, killing him. He then sent Infil'a's body to the depths of the newly-created lake, to join the city's innocent citizens in an eternal sleep.
When We See Him:
As Vader approached the moon, Infil'a was having a training session with Arex. He fought the droid whilst constructing four Padawan's traps at once, much to Arex's objection. Infil'a then sensed Vader's approach and told Arex to prepare the mountains defenses. As Vader approached on his starship, Infil'a used the Padawan's traps to bring it down. Vader managed to save the ship and then walked to Infil'a's mountain, where Infil'a raised a wall to block his path. He faced the Sith from the top of the mountain and asked if it was him that killed the Jedi. Vader responded by Force choking him, but he quickly broke free and Force pushed Vader away. In a further exchange of words, Vader confirmed that he killed the Jedi and that he was coming for Infil'a too. Infil'a then declared his barash Vow complete and told Vader that he would wait for him at the top of the mountain.

His Voice:
For Kirak, since we haven’t heard his voice in any other Star Wars media there’s a lot more leeway when it comes to coming up with his voice. However, I do want you to take some inspiration from Clancy Brown’s work. Especially his voice and tone for his character Long Feng in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Kirak (Angry but prepared) igniting his lightsaber, ready to fight the Dark Lord of the Sith. “You… You stink of darkness! Was it you?!”
Kirak (Wise, friendly) talking to the kind family who he became friends with about the sudden change in the galaxy regarding the end of the Jedi. Kirak is saddened by the news but he must keep focusing on the future. “As you know, I am a Jedi. Through the Force, I see far. I sense many things. Not long ago, I felt a great surge of pain and fear as most of my kind were exterminated across the galaxy.”
Kirak (Prepared but relieved) taking the wait off his shoulders after completing his vow but is prepared to fight the Dark Lord that stands before him. “For my transgressions, I took the Barash Vow, to live alone inside the Force, until my true path as a Jedi became clear. I declare my Barash complete, for my brothers and sisters are dead, and their murderer stands before me. I know my path, killer, and its end is also yours. This mountain is called Passvaal. It is a sacred place, designed to test all Jedi who come here. The higher you go, the more demanding the challenges become. I will await you at the summit, beast. On the highest ground. Come seek me out.”
Backstory:
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a legendary Force-sensitive human male Jedi Master who served on the Jedi High Council during the final years of the Republic Era. As a High Jedi General, Kenobi served in the Grand Army of the Republic that fought against the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars, and was nicknamed "the Negotiator." Kenobi, however, was forced into exile as a result of the Great Jedi Purge initiated by the Republic's own clone troopers when Republic Supreme Chancellor, secretly Darth Sidious, implemented Order 66. As a mentor, Kenobi was responsible for training two members of the Skywalker family, Anakin and Luke Skywalker, both of whom served in turn as his Padawan in the ways of the Force.
Kenobi was born on the planet Stewjon in 57 BBY. He was Force-sensitive, and therefore taken from his family and inducted into the Jedi Order as a child. Raised in the Jedi Grand Temple on the planet Coruscant, Kenobi was assigned to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. In 32 BBY, Kenobi attained the rank of Jedi Knight by defeating the Sith Lord Darth Maul during the Invasion of Naboo. He also chose to train Anakin Skywalker—the prophesied Chosen One who was destined to destroy the Sith and restore balance to the Force—having promised Jinn who died in the lightsaber duel against Maul.
With the advent of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Kenobi adopted the military rank of High Jedi General in the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, and was given command of the Open Circle Fleet, the Third Systems Army, and the 7th Sky Corps. Clone Marshal Commander Cody served as his second-in-command throughout the galaxy-wide conflict, with their forces achieving multiple victories over the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In the midst of the war, his old enemy Maul re-emerged into galactic affairs, bent on revenge against Kenobi for his debilitating defeat decades prior. Though they clashed in heated duels on multiple occasions, Maul failed to end Kenobi's life or cripple his spirit, despite murdering his former love, Satine Kryze, Duchess of Mandalore.
In 19 BBY, Kenobi killed the Separatist Supreme Martial Commander, General Grievous, during the Battle of Utapau, effectively ending the Clone Wars. He later survived the initial onslaught of the Great Jedi Purge against the Jedi Order, which resulted from the machinations of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. After discovering that Skywalker had turned to the dark side of the Force, becoming Sidious' Sith apprentice under the name of Darth Vader, Kenobi defeated his former Padawan on Mustafar and exiled himself to the Outer Rim planet Tatooine as the Galactic Empire rose to power.
When We See Him (Through Vader’s Eyes):
Experiencing second thoughts about his journey to the dark side, Vader reassembles the lightsaber. He experiences a vision where he returns to the Emperor on Coruscant with the green lightsaber. Realizing that Vader has not embraced the dark side, he attacks the Sith apprentice. Vader defeats him in a duel and then travels to find his former Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Seeking to atone for its wrongs, Vader bows before Kenobi who raises his lightsaber to strike him down. However, Kenobi experiences second thoughts and deactivates his lightsaber, calling Vader by his former name Anakin.
Awakening from the vision, Vader believes there is no turning back from the Sith path and uses the dark side to bend the kyber crystal to his will. As he pours his anger and hatred into the crystal, he experiences visions of the past including Kenobi, his late mother Shmi Skywalker Lars, Padmé Amidala and the Emperor. The dark side also triggers a lava explosion nearby.

Obi-Wan (Angry, disgusted but ready to fight) confronting Anakin after betraying the Jedi Order and attempting to kill his own wife. “Your anger and your lust for power have already done that! You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now… Until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.”
Obi-Wan (Heartbroken but keeping composure) telling Padme about Anakin turning to the Dark Side. He wishes it weren’t true but it hurts him to know that it is. “He was deceived by a lie, we all were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything including the war. Palptine is the Sith Lord we’ve been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice. Padme… I must find him.”
Obi-Wan (Distraught and heartbroken) after defeating his former apprentice and brother in a brutal fight. “You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force! Not leave it in darkness!! You were my brother Anakin… I loved you…”
