Darth Vader’s Battle Against Death Continues in a New Book

There was one full-grown reasonAnakin Skywalker became Darth Vader . He hoped that by turning to the Dark Side , he ’d be capable to beg into powers that would bring back his wife , Padmé Amidala . It , of course , quickly endure beyond that as his mentorEmperor Palpatinekept seeding him with uncertainty and hate toward the Jedi and the extragalactic nebula — but , brass tacks , it was for Padmé .

That quest will proceed in a fresh book calledStar Wars : Master of Evilby Adam Christopher . TheShadow of the Sithauthorhas written a Quran that “ chronicles Vader ’s haunting pursuit for the force to inhibit death ” and it was one of several new Bible announced ahead of next week’sStar WarsCelebration ; you canread more about those at this link . Here ’s the full covering by artist Simon Goinard too .

Vader ’s quest to betray death is something that we never got to see in the motion picture . However , it ’s something otherStar Warsauthors have explored across other mass medium . For example , theDarth Vadercomic seriesthat ended its ladder in 2018 dove into it , tell a fib of Vaderbuilding his castle on Mustafar(which we see inRogue One ) and how the whole point of that was to use it and the power of the satellite to open a gate to the afterlife .

It ’ll be interesting to see then if Christopher ’s tale incorporates any of that and , if so , when his fib will take position . Was the Mustafar temple an earlier endeavor ? A later one ? Will Vader ever go to Palpatine and be like “ Hey asshole , were you mess with me when you told me all that Darth Plagueis stuff ? ” Maybe Vader too , like us , would like to see asecond season ofThe Acolyte .

Anyway , Master of Evilis coming to bookstall on November 11 , and if there ’s any more news about it out of Celebration , we ’ll have it for you .
