Chapter 8 of Sith Lord Swell has arrived. That's the one where Luke and his NJO students get dropped back to the immediately pre-Clone War time frame, and since he did technically inherit the title of Sith Lord from Vader immediately after Vader offed Palpatine, they present themselves as a non-Banite Sith order coming forward because the pair running around trying to start a war are making Sith look bad. Between going on a tear against slavers, getting the Tatooine region out of the grasp of the Hutts, and the general lack of distinction between Sith and other flavors of Force users in the galaxy at large, this meets with wild approval from the locals, and Luke is elected the Senator as Tatooine to joins the Republic, under the name Lord Vader. It's chock full of jabs against Mouse Wars along with playing off the prequel cast in various fun ways, and I love it to bits.
