In the pages of Darth Vader 5 & 6, Vader finishes his rampage through Naboo and then returns to Coruscant to face Emperor Palpatine’s harsh judgment.
Darth Vader pursued the history of Luke Skywalker across the galaxy in an attempt to find and punish those responsible for “making him weak.” Ultimately, his search lead him to Naboo and Polis Massa. Darth Vader has learned a lot, but he doesn’t have all the answers. However, he must now return to Coruscant and face his Sith Master, Emperor Palpatine. He does not receive a warm welcome.

- The conclusion of Darth Vader’s mission to Naboo,
- What happened on Polis Massa in the past,
- What Darth Vader learned on Polis Massa,
- Vader’s return to Coruscant,
- The charges against Darth Vader read by Mas Amedda,
