Written by Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen, with art by Mike Deodato Jr. and Salvador Larroca, the story weaves between the main Star Wars and Darth Vader series, delivering a focused, action-packed confrontation that tests Vader's ruthless efficiency.
"Vader Down [Part I]" kicks off a high-stakes Star Wars adventure as Darth Vader, following a lead from Doctor Aphra, descends on the planet Vrogas Vas—only to be ambushed by Rebel X-wing fighters led by Luke Skywalker. In the fiery aftermath, the two clash in a brutal duel that ends with both crash-landing on opposite sides of the planet, drawing the attention of Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the rest of Luke’s closest allies. Written by Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen, with bold artwork by Mike Deodato and vibrant colors by Frank Martin Jr., this issue sets the stage for a tense, planet-spanning hunt, all capped by Mark Brooks’ striking cover.
In "Vader Down [Part I]," Darth Vader descends on the planet Vrogas Vas with a single goal: to hunt down Luke Skywalker, guided by intel from the cunning Doctor Aphra. When Vader’s ship is ambushed by Rebel X-wing fighters—led by Luke himself—the ensuing battle sends both Jedi and Sith crashing onto the planet’s surface, scattering the Rebel allies and thrusting Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the rest of Luke’s closest friends into the heart of a crisis they didn’t see coming.
In the shadow of a forgotten Jedi temple on Vrogas Vas, Darth Vader faces a Rebel army while Luke Skywalker delves into ancient ruins. With the tide turning, Doctor Aphra sees a chance to prove her worth—though her motives are as sharp as they are uncertain.
In the heart of Vrogas Vas, Luke is in the clutches of Doctor Aphra and her ruthless crew, while Han and Chewbacca race against time to mount a daring rescue. Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Princess Leia stands ready for a tense showdown with Darth Vader.
In the high-stakes chaos of Vrogas Vas, the Rebel Alliance fights for survival as Leia confronts Darth Vader in a battle of wills and lightsabers, while Han Solo and Chewbacca clash with the brutal Krrsantan. Meanwhile, C-3PO and the droids BT-1 and Triple Zero navigate their own perilous mission in the shadow of the conflict.
In the heat of her standoff with Darth Vader, Leia is suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Commander Karbin. As Han and R2-D2 rush to help, Chewbacca finds himself locked in combat with the fearsome Wookiee warrior Black Krrsantan.
In "Vader Down Part 6," Commander Karbin lands on Vrogas Vas with one goal: confront Darth Vader in a clash of wills and weapons. Meanwhile, Luke is taken prisoner by Karbin’s forces, forcing Han, Leia, and their allies to navigate a dangerous alliance with the unpredictable Doctor Aphra and her crew.
