CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF ROGUE ONE! WHEN NEGOTIATIONS FAIL, THE EMPIRE SENDS IN ITS ATTACK DOG -- DARTH VADER! Director ORSON KRENNIC's negotiations with the gem-rich planet of HARRELD have hit a standstill. Its leader, HARQQUE, refuses to allow the EMPIRE to mine its rare KYBER deposits for use in the DEATH STAR's deadly super-laser. But when the EMPEROR catches wind of Krennic's failure, he sends his most trusted acolyte -- DARTH VADER -- to pry the kyber from Harreld by any means necessary.

    Marvel saved the best for last in this series of one-shots set within the Rogue One timeline. The scenes between Krennic and Vader are as fun as their scene together in the movie. Krennic, who is little more than a snivelling underling as far as Vader is concerned, is true to form here. Overall, a fun book that gives us some pre-Rogue One Vader action. Read Full Review

    An incredible issue that delivers some classic Vader action that every reader can enjoy. It also fleshes out the Rogue One story in a really beneficial way that adds to the film in a compelling way. Together with artwork that is stupendous, this is an issue you cannot pass up on!
