The alliance between Darth Vader and Sabé has always seemed destined for disaster. After all, how long can the Dark Lord of the Sith and the idealistic handmaiden of Padm? Amidala find common ground? So as Vader and Sabé enter the final battle against a corrupt Imperial governor, something's going to break. Will it be Vader's cold resolve or Sabé's true heart? And how long until Ochi of Bestoon finally makes his move?

    While I haven't cared much for the storyline with the Governor as she's far too underdeveloped overall and just never connected well as a character, the use of Sabe is what has driven the whole thing well. I like the place she's put in here at the end and seeing the choice she makes while also understanding how Vader's view of things is changing more and more as well. A couple of decades worth of manipulation means it can't last forever and exploring some of that is fun. It's a decent read with some great artwork. I'll be glad to move on from some of these legacy characters, however, and see where it shifts to next with Coruscant and Palpatine. Read Full Review

    Given how difficult it is to show new facets of Vader, the book succeeds in that realm, leaving us to wonder with anticipation where his allyship with Sab could take them next. Read Full Review

    It seems like this story has wrapped up for now, but new stories are always coming. Sabe has made a place for herself in this series and promises to continue on into the next arc alongside Darth Vader. Read Full Review

    The comic ends with a bit of a tease and the pair limping off together towards a possible conclusion to the arc and a meeting with the Emperor whose plans for his apprentice likely do not include a new friend who reminds him of his lost love and humanity. Read Full Review
