A new special series from Marvel, called simply Star Wars: Darth Vader, picks up immediately after the end of Revenge Of The Sith and explores the former Anakin Skywalker’s first years in
the infamous black outfit. Writer Charles Soule and artist Giuseppe Camuncoli will find Vader as he joins Emperor Palpatine in viewing the Death Star, and go from there. It won’t be long, it
