10 Awesome Additions From Marvel’s Star Wars Comics That You Need To Know About

6) Evil Artoo, Threepio And Chewbacca

All the good guys have dependable droid companions who help them save the day in Star Wars. But who says the villains can’t have their own automaton buddies who aid them in spreading death and destruction?

The Star Wars comics had the ingenious idea to give Darth Vader his very own droid sidekicks – and make them the dark mirrors of the pure-hearted R2-D2 and C3PO. O-O-O is Threepio if he chucked out all his protocol functions and instead became an expert in torture. His Artoo-like companion is BT-1, with homicidal tendencies as strong as Artoo’s capacity for bravery.

Similarly, an evil counterpart to Chewbacca has also been introduced. Namely Black Krrsantan, a fierce Wookie bounty hunter. If good ol’ Chewie can rip a man’s arm off, then imagine what damage a ferocious beastie like Krrsantan could do? The two Wookies actually faced off in a tooth-and-claw battle in Star Wars #14.
