Summary
word of advice ! This article contains spoiler for Star Wars : Darth Vader # 42ManyStar Warsfans have absolutely no idea whatDarth Vaderwent through between the issue ofEmpire strike BackandReturn of the Jedi . The original trilogy may seem like a contained story on the Earth’s surface , but further geographic expedition into that era ofStar Warscanon establish that the movies just scrape up the surface of what these theatrical role got themselves into . And Darth Vader is perhaps the unspoilt example , peculiarly because he turned his armour from detritus into a superweapon afterEpisode V.
Marvel Comics ’ ongoingStar war : Darth Vaderseries ( which launched in February , 2020 ) break up up right whereStar warfare : Episode V - The Empire Strikes Backleft off , all from Darth Vader ’s position . At the oddment ofEpisode V , Darth Vader tells Luke that the two of them can reverse the Emperor and predominate the galaxy themselves . Then , inEpisode VI , Darth Vader is back to being the Emperor ’s loyal soldier . So , what befall ?
While the serial is still ongoing , and has n’t quite answered that question yet , Darth Vader ’s journeying within this period of time has been one filled with demoralisation in the face of bankruptcy , but also triumph in the face of hardship . Though fans do n’t yet eff how this comic book storyline will fee into Episode VI , they have been shown Darth Vader broken down to close up to nothing , only for him to rebuild himself into something stronger .
In the Star Wars era of the Sith - ruled Empire C. W. Post - Order 66 , the Jedi are barely considered a threat at all , specially compare to a new foe .
Darth Vader Rebuilt His Suit With Junk, & Now It Can Remotely Control Droids
Emperor Palpatine punished Darth Vaderfor trying to recruit Luke and overthrow him immediately followingEmpire Strikes Backby raze Vader ’s suit - let in his robotic limbs - and leave him where he found him inEpisode III , on the lava bank of Mustafar . This pass inStar Wars : Darth Vader#6 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , and it forced Vader to wiretap into his mechanically skillful mavin by using superfluous parts from outdated droids to reconstruct himself .
The impact of this early story discharge is still being felt to this 24-hour interval in Darth Vader ’s current run , as he just made personalized raise to his suit that allow him to remotely control droids and even cyborgs after learn how to create his own closed - circuit hivemind organisation following his encounter with the Scourge during the late concludedStar Wars : Dark Droidsevent . Now , Vader can infect droids and cyborgs and control their actions with his mind , realise him the ultimate tool master of an all - young cybernetic army , and it was only made possible after his courtship was broken down into nothing , and then rebuilt by Vader himself .
Darth Vader Is About To Face A Crushing Downfall Before Return of the Jedi
Things are almost a fleck too good for Darth Vader inStar Warscomics at the consequence . He ’s surmount all of Emperor Palpatine ’s tests , he fudge the Scourge and learned how to strengthen himself as a final result of that battle , and he ’s on the precipice of raising an regular army of droids and cyborgs only he can control . So , why would he go back to being so ferociously firm to the Emperor by the clock time ofReturn of the Jedi ? Again , that ’s still a mystery , but the only matter that earn gumption is that Darth Vader will soon face a vault he wo n’t be able to clear , and the Emperor will in effect exhaust him into submission so good , that Darth Vader will plausibly be delivering his own son to Palpatine ’s feet in roughly a year ’s meter from this current point in Star Wars canon .
no matter of what may or may not happen to Darth Vader in the future of this Marvel Comics serial , in good order now , he ’s a champion . Darth Vader ’s suit of clothes was reduced to soldered - together pieces of abandoned rubble right afterEmpire Strikes Back , but now it ’s a superweapon with the power to control an U. S. Army of droids of cyborgs , which is an undeniably awesome slice ofDarth Vader’sStar Warshistory - and it ’s still blossom out .
