His turn to the dark side has been punctuated by moments of light, an ambiguous action that can at once be read as Vader protecting his own interests or protecting the future, and levity. The story brought us closer to understanding Vader’s motivations and the Emperor’s power over his apprentice. We’ve watched as he grew accustomed to his mechanized suit, sometimes being forced to rebuild himself from droid parts in the heat of battle.
More than a decade later, his comic book series Marvel’s Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith picked up at this pinnacle moment and invited fans on a visceral exploration of Anakin Skywalker’s transition beneath the mask. Since 2005, when Charles Soule first sat in a darkened movie theater and watched the newly born Darth Vader lurch off the surgical slab with an agonized cry of mourning, he’s been waiting to discover what happened after the credits rolled on Revenge of the Sith. Spoiler warning: This story contains details and plot points from Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith Issue #25.
In the final issue on sale now, fans venture behind the mask and into the mind of Star Wars' most recognizable villain, taking the last steps toward the dark side as seen through Vader's eyes.
