In the past inside a galaxy much, far away . .

When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action with an inhospitable planet, they must rely on one another, the Drive, and their very own ruthlessness to prevail.

“It seems things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted.”

Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory space. Darth Vader, recently anointed Sith Lord, is definitely about Lords of the Sith: Celebrity Wars ascendant. The Emperor’s chosen apprentice has quickly proven his loyalty to the dark aspect. Still, the history from the Sith Order is among duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters-and the truest measure of Vader’s allegiance offers yet to be studied. Until now.

On Ryloth, a planet imperative to the growing Empire being a source of slave labor as well as the narcotic referred to as “spice,” an intense resistance movement provides arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic independence fighter, and Isval, a vengeful previous slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its valuable resources-by political power or firepower-and he’ll end up being neither intimidated nor refused. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he models out on a uncommon personal mission to ensure his will is done.

For Syndulla and Isval, it’s the opportunity to strike at the heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. As well as for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush transmits them crashing to the planet’s surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of level of resistance fighters await them, they’ll find their romantic relationship tested as nothing you’ve seen prior. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Pressure, and one another to rely on, both Sith must determine if the brutal relationship they share can make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.
