About this Collection

This German-language collection from Panini Deutschland reprints the crossover event 'Vader Down,' where Darth Vader finds himself stranded and outnumbered on a planet swarming with Rebel forces. The story pits the Dark Lord against a squad of soldiers, Jedi-hunting droids BT-1 and Triple Zero, and the bounty hunter Black Krrsantan, while Doctor Aphra and the Rebel heroes—including Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca—converge for a desperate confrontation. It's a fast-paced, action-heavy installment that showcases Vader's relentless power even when cornered.

In "Vader Down, Teil 1," Darth Vader follows a lead from Doctor Aphra to the planet Vrogas Vas, only to be ambushed by a squadron of Rebel X-Wings—among them Luke Skywalker—upon emerging from hyperspace. The ensuing battle forces both Vader and Luke to crash-land on the planet’s surface, setting off a chain of events that draws the attention of Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke’s closest Rebel allies. Written by Jason Aaron, Kieron Gillen, and Michael Nagula, with dynamic art by Mike Deodato and colors by Frank Martin Jr., this high-stakes chapter blends relentless action with the growing tension between father and son. The cover, by Mark Brooks, captures the moment of confrontation with striking intensity.
