Star Wars: Master of Evil

Following the events of Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader seeks the secrets of life and death under Emperor Palpatine's rule. Though a dominant figure within the Imperial regime, Vader remains largely unknown even to top officials. As his humanity fades, he becomes obsessed with the ultimate power his master has hinted at but refused to grant—the ability to conquer death. On Mustafar, Vader performs a dark ritual to bleed a kyber crystal and forge his lightsaber, an act that reveals unexpected Force potential. Determined to pursue this vision, Vader defies his master's orders, yet finds the Emperor surprisingly supportive. Palpatine sends Vader to the Diso system to investigate reports of a Force-wielding shaman capable of raising the dead, accompanied by the Emperor's Royal Guard led by Colonel Halland Goth, a decorated soldier with personal stakes in the mission. As the Emperor's true motivations emerge, Vader descends deeper into obsession, traveling across the galaxy in pursuit of rumors and phantoms. Haunted by echoes of his past, Vader realizes that only by purging all weakness can he achieve his ultimate goal.
