admonition ! This clause contain spoilers for Star Wars : Darth Vader # 38 - 40Star Warsfans are only a few short issues away from the galax ( and , in fact , Palpatinehimself ) face the dandy threat yet : a Scourge - infectedDarth Vader . While this has been the destination of the Scourge since the beginning ofStar Wars’Dark Droidscrossover issue , the prospect of it in conclusion come to pass is one of true terror for every exist matter in the galaxy far , far off - including and especially for those who live on Coruscant .
Coruscant is the capitol world of the Empire , and has been the kernel of political power in the galaxy for ages , no matter the regime . Coruscant is where Palpatine spends most of his prison term , and from which he commands his Empire . During the early days of the Empire , it was more necessary than ever that Palpatine keep on a potent front on Coruscant , as he needed to personally manipulate Senators to continue to vote in favor of every political overreach he bestow before the Senate , set aside his sexual perversion of democracy to slowly make him a dictator . It ’s for that reason that Palpatine really cares about keeping up appearances on Coruscant , as shown inStar war : Darth Vader#20 by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli . In that outlet , Darth Vader accidentally killed a Senator who Palpatine needed to vote in his favour , after causing far-flung harm near the Senate building , and create fear and scare within upper - class society . While Palpatine would n’t deal about any of this on any other planet , he made it clear to Vader that Coruscant was off - limits when it comes to exhibit the true malevolency of the Sith . But now , it seems Vader is about to set on that very planet with an entire droid ground forces behind him - all controlled by the Scourge .
Darth Vader Can Hurt Palpatine By Attacking Coruscant
InStar Wars : Darth Vader#38 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , Darth Vader just defeat an entire army command by the Scourge , and the issue ended with Vader embarkment his ship , heading to Coruscant . However , the issue also ended with a minute of a cliffhanger , as the Scourge somehow follow Vader to Mustafar where it possessed an dead massive abandoned battle droid from the Clone Wars era ( manufactured by the Techno Union ) . Based on the evidence in this result , plus the data made available by Marvel Comics on the next two forthcoming issues , it seems as though this giantScourge - infected droid will come through in possess Darth Vader , and then take him to his previously want localization of Coruscant , effectively piss him ( as the solicitation for proceeds # 40 describes ) , the “ Scourge of Coruscant ” .
Star Wars: Darth Vader #40 Preview Confirms Vader’s Attack
The covering art ofStar Wars : Darth Vader#40 shows Darth Vader top an regular army of Scourge - taint droids on the ground on Coruscant , which not only indicates that Vader does - in fact - get own , but that he does the one thing Palpatine discourage him never to do again : mess with Coruscant . While it ’s less important to keep up appearances at this point in Star Wars lore ( since Palpatine has since dissolve the Galactic Senate ) , the safe and flourishing city - world of Coruscant still represents the power and security of the Empire , and an onset on the planet is a direct challenge to the Emperor himself .
While Palpatine ’s victory in this coming engagement is all but assured , the injury to his pride and reputation upon Vader ’s storming of his palace will still be something he wo n’t shortly leave , asDarth Vader ’s unexampled title , “ Scourge of Coruscant ” , make believe himPalpatine ’s worst incubus .
