It’s time for another volume of 2017 Darth Vader and this time, Jocasta Nu is in the Sith Lord’s sights! Mike tackles the next story set just after Revenge Of The Sith where Vader pursues the jedi archivist; Jocastu Nu as she possesses an object that could bring the Empire toppling down, plus Vader is attacked by mercenaries & bounty hunters, so goes up the chain to find out who put the hit on him…
Mike also gives additional information on inquisitors, ancient artifacts, a lightsaber rifle and more!

These comics are set just after Revenge Of The Sith, in 19 BBY.
