Darth Vader Unleashes Havoc on Batuu in New Galaxy's Edge Comic
Get ready for some classic Vader action this Wednesday! Marvel's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge – Echoes of the Empire #3 drops, and it’s a full-on droid massacre. Darth Vader himself faces down a massive droid army on Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost. If you’ve visited Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge, you know this iconic setting. Artist Roi Mercado renders Vader’s crimson lightsaber slicing through wave after wave of combat droids. It’s exactly the kind of destructive power fantasy fans expect.
But it’s not just Vader's show. Ethan Sacks pens a parallel plot. Luke, Leia, and the Rebellion desperately try to escape Imperial forces amidst the chaos. Plus, Oga, the infamous proprietor of Oga's Cantina, makes her move against the local syndicate. This issue promises high-stakes action across multiple fronts, bringing together iconic characters with the newer lore of Batuu.
Look out for Phil Noto's main cover. Also noteworthy: a vibrant 3-part connecting Pride variant from Rickie Yagawa. It’s a cool modern touch for a galaxy far, far away.
