Star Wars: Darth Vader, Vol. 3: The Shu-Torun War by Kieron Gillen
4.0
Ok, clearly, this is not a trilogy as expected (I presumed while there are more volumes about Vader, the main story arc would be concluded after this volume).
The issues collected here tell the story of Vader having to put down rebellious barons that usually mine rare and important ores for the Empire. There is a lot of back-stabbing, and not only at court but all around Vader. The story felt a bit disjointed as Aphra was suddenly missing and the droids (Beetee and Triple-Zero) were with Vader. At least there was progress with the story of Cylo's creations though and we got hints at the entire plot regarding Cylo and his creations having been a ploy by Emperor Palpatine (though there is no conclusion yet).
The art remains impeccable throughout all the volumes which makes me hope this artist will stick around.
This third volume distinguished itself not through story or awesome feats by Vader, but through the humour. Observe:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I just love those droids (although there seem to be the seeds of rebellion in them as well, as we can observe late in this volume) and almost couldn't stop laughing!
