As a die-hard Star Wars prequel trilogy enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement! Not only are we getting more on-screen action, but there’s also an exciting new novel hitting the shelves soon. “Star Wars: Master of Evil” by Adam Christopher is set to be released on November 11th, and it delves into the early days of Darth Vader‘s Sith apprenticeship and his tumultuous journey towards the Dark Side of the Force.
According to Penguin Random House, this book will also reveal the “dark ritual” Vader performs to craft a genuine Sith lightsaber – a significant milestone in his transformation. Although we briefly glimpsed this event in the 2017 comic book “Darth Vader” #5, experiencing it from a fresh perspective in Christopher’s novel should be an unforgettable experience for fans of the Chosen One!
In simpler terms, the Star Wars prequel trilogy gives us insights into Anakin Skywalker’s life, starting from his rescue by the Jedi up until he betrays them and embraces the Dark Side. This transformation leaves him in a sorrowful, fractured state, and it remains unclear how he becomes a devoted servant of Emperor Palpatine during the original trilogy. Fortunately, many imaginative storytellers have started to address these gaps, and Christopher is now contributing to this endeavor.
As a seasoned movie critic, I found myself captivated by the Marvel Comics series, “Star Wars: Darth Vader – Dark Lord of the Sithes,” penned by Charles Soule and skillfully illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli, alongside an array of other artists, letterers, and editors. This epic tale continues from where “Revenge of the Sith” left off, extending over a thrilling two-year span and 25 issues. The narrative delves deep into pivotal moments that molded Vader into a devoted follower of the Dark Side, with the crafting of his own Sith lightsaber serving as the initial step on this sinister path.
Master of Evil” will portray Darth Vader’s transformation period in a unique way compared to what we already know. The central events remain consistent — “On the fiery planet of Mustafar, Vader performs a dark ritual involving a kyber crystal to craft his lightsaber. This act releases power beyond what he expected, offering him a glimpse into the boundless might of the Force.
Performing the Kyber crystal rite is a significant milestone for a Sith, yet, so far, this event in Vader’s life has only been portrayed in comics. While it has briefly appeared on screen through one video game and one Disney+ series, it has never been shown with a main character like Vader. This kind of intricate background detail is exactly the kind that many fans are eager for following series like Andor.
Pre-order “Star Wars: Master of Evil” right now! This thrilling tale will be released on November 11th, and you can choose from print, digital, or audiobook versions. If you simply can’t wait, check out the related events in the 2017 version of “Darth Vader,” which is accessible in both print and digital formats.
