Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader

The first weeks inside the suit, written as a man discovering what he agreed to.

Published in November 2005, James Luceno’s novel picks up immediately after Revenge of the Sith. Vader hunts surviving Jedi while working out what he has actually become, and the Empire’s new machinery is assembled around him. It is the standard Legends bridge between the prequels and the original trilogy.
