I did not enjoy this volume as much as the others. He fights on two fronts against the rebellious Ore-Dukes and his rival for the Emperor’s second-in-command, Cylo. To accomplish this, he assassinates much of the ruling family and manipulates the youngest daughter, Trios, into being the puppet ruler. – brought into the Vader story.Ĭover Artist: Kaare Andrews and Mark Brooksĭarth Vader is responsible for suppressing a rebellion on the mining planet of Shu-Torun. It’s great to see the familiar characters – Leia, Han, Chewbacca, etc. It’s an interesting plot that almost brings Vader and Luke together but without spoiling their first real meeting in Bespin Cloud City.

Aphra uses the credits to track down the identity of the Rebel pilot, Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader also works secretly with bounty hunters to carry out an attack on an Imperial ship to gain Imperial credits. In this volume, the Emperor’s plans to have several rivals compete for Vader’s position are revealed. Kind of a morally gray person willing to do the bidding of Darth Vader more out of fear than loyalty, but also capable of doing a great job.

Aphra is a great character and addition to the Star Wars universe.

To accomplish these goals he recruits archaeologist Doctor Aphra to carry out missions for him. The Emperor has put Vader’s rival in control, and Vader sets in motion a plot to both regain his position of influence as well as the personal goal of finding the young pilot who fired the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Set after the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader is in hot water for allowing a Rebel victory on his watch.
