Star Wars Has revealed more about why Darth Vader made the monumental decision to turn on Emperor Palpatine and save Luke Skywalker, in the climactic moment of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Indeed, much of the new Star Wars: Darth Vader comic series from Marvel Comics has been focused on retroactively pondering that moment. The Emperor is punishing Vader for a traitorous attempt to recruit Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, while Vader is starting to feel something other than the deep well of the dark side, again. Star Wars: Darth Vader #10 drives Vader’s “awakening” to the next stage, in a stirring vision.
