Darth Vader #19
- Title: Darth Vader #19
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Charles Soule
- Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli
One of the interesting concepts introduced in Star Wars Rebels was the role of the Inquisitors. Force-trained minions sent to hunt the remaining Jedi, the concept opened a new world of characters and potential stories to explore. Darth Vader #19 returns these characters (including an appearance by the Grand Inquisitor) as Vader and his Dark Side army show up to kill a former member of the Jedi Council and take his newborn for nefarious purposes.
While Vader appears on several pages, his dialogue is clipped here allowing for the Dark Lord of the Sith’s menacing actions to speak for him. Taking on the Jedi himself, Vader sends the Inquisitors after the child who they savagely pry from his mother’s arms.

Star Wars Rebels – The Complete Fourth Season
- Title: Star Wars Rebels – Season Four
- wiki: link
The final season of Star Wars Rebels begins with the Rebels helping the Mandalorians rescue Sabine‘s (Tiya Sircar) father and ends with a final battle between the Rebellion and the Empire for Lothal.

Star Wars #50
- Title: Star Wars #50
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Kieron Gillen
- Artist: Salvador Larroca
Issue #50 kicks off a new arc that shows the culmination of the Rebellion’s hard work. The Rebel Fleet has finally been assembled. It’s an impressive sight to behold. Finally, the Rebellion has a weapon to fight back against the Empire. While showing it off new toys and new level of unity to their closest allies, however, things begin to go horribly wrong.
There’s certainly a huge emotional shift in Part 1 of “Hope Dies.” The celebration is cut short when the Rebels discover several of their ships have been sabotaged by Trios who betrays her new friends. That itself would be bad enough, but the arrival of Darth Vader and a fleet of Imperial ships to spring the trap foreshadows big trouble for the Rebellion heading into the next issue.
