We look back at a classic issue of Darth Vader from Charles Soule’s run in 2017. Tarkin has assembled at team to hunt down the Dark Lord of the Sith. We examine why.
What would possess Grand Moff Tarkin to assemble a team and attempt to hunt down Darth Vader? That is the immediate question facing Star Wars fans reading Darth Vader #18. Charles Soule has the answer. Vader and Tarkin are playing a most dangerous and lethal game on the planet of Chandar’s Folly. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are looking at why they are doing this and how the hunt turns out. Tarkin may have numbers, but Darth Vader is never the underdog. However, has he met his match this time?
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The background of Darth Vader #18,
- Why Grand Moff Tarkin is hunting Darth Vader,
- Tarkin’s strategies for hunting Vader,
- Vader’s tactics for fighting Tarkin and his hunters,
- The resolution of the hunt and the impact of the closing panels.
