Explore the days after Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader! In the wake of Revenge of the Sith, follow Darth Vader as he receives his legendary red lightsaber and rises to power as a Dark Lord of the Sith! When Anakin Skywalker fell - both to the pull of the dark side and the blade of Obi-Wan Kenobi - he rose, more machine than man. Having lost everything that once was dear to him, he now takes his first steps into a darker world as the Emperor's ruthless right hand - beginning by hunting down and eradicating the galaxy's remaining Jedi! But Jocasta Nu, librarian of the Jedi Temple, is making a desperate effort to gather and preserve whatever she can of the religion's legacy. Palpatine views her as a particular threat. Does her knowledge make her a one-woman Jedi Order? Plus: Vader digs into the pet project of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin and Orson Krennic: the massive battle station being built in orbit above Geonosis! Can he root out the source of treachery that threatens to destabilize the Empire's galactic ascent? Collecting: Darth Vader (2017) #1-12, Darth Vader Annual (2015) #2
