To make sure he behaves, Vader is watched closely by the Emperor and Grand General Tagge, but that doesn’t stop him from recruiting rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra to his cause. Needing to make amends to restore his influence with Palpatine, Vader still has his own agenda: tracking down the force-sensitive pilot that brought down the Death Star. In chronological terms the events here take place right after the destruction of the Death Star in film A New Hope, and nineteen years after the events in Revenge of the Sith.Įmperor Palpatine has placed responsibility for the loss of his Death Star firmly on Vader. Vader is the first volume, penned by Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larocca. With Jason Aaron writing the main Star Wars series in the build up to the release of The Force Awakens in 2015, Star Wars: Darth Vader was placed in the very capable hands of Kieron Gillen. Would you dare re-imagine the series without Vader? With a large cult following of his own, and a number of quotable lines, it makes perfect commercial sense to give the original Dark Lord of the Sith his own series. Darth Vader is one of the most distinctive and iconic of movie villains, whether you are a die-hard fan of the Star Wars franchise or have a passing familiarity.
