Star Wars: Darth Vader, Volume 3: The Shu-Torun War by Kieron Gillen
5.0
Vader volume 3 jumps around a bit, as Aphra has been captured by the rebels, meaning I have clue what happened with that as I started with Vader and I'm volume 1 of Star Wars the comic instead of volume three. So I'm all kinds of confused with that. However I don't need to know just yet.
Instead Vader has been sent to win a war on Shu-Torun for the empire. There he faces the court as it rebels. He places Princess Trios as the new ruler. I love her. She reminds me of Daenerys, who was never supposed to rule, was supposed to be useful and then be discarded, and rises to the challenge of ruler. I enjoyed watching her understand and then rising to stand beside Vader, lord of evil, absolute greatest villain ever. And she doesn't look weak next to him by the end. She looks like whether it'll be the Empire or the Republic ruling she won't be cowed and can handle whatever is thrown her way.
It also was made very clear that Vader misses his droids. He puts up with Beetee and Triple Zero bickering just like C3PO and R2D2, and deliberately disobeying him so he can win. It's hilarious. I love it. Vader gets so annoyed at 000 and doesn't do a thing to him. Just like he didn't do a thing to R2 when he was being a smartass.
Vader continues to impress. Totally a 5/5 stars. Can't wait for the next volume!
