Star Wars Preview Reveals What Tempted Luke Skywalker To Join The Dark Side

As a long-time Star Wars fan and avid reader of the Darth Vader comic series, I’m thoroughly intrigued by the latest developments in “Star Wars: Darth Vader” #48. The idea that Luke Skywalker could have been seduced by the Dark Side is nothing new, but the way it’s being explored in this comic series adds a fresh perspective to an iconic storyline.


Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker significantly contributed to the salvation of the galaxy from Sith-inspired tyranny in “Star Wars.” However, what if Luke joined the dark side instead? This intriguing question could be addressed in “Star Wars: Darth Vader” #48 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco. Their work delves into Luke’s internal struggle as he faces a moral dilemma – a theme that has been a recurring focus throughout the series.

As a dedicated fan of Star Wars, I was thrilled to read in “Darth Vader” #45 how precariously close Luke Skywalker came to embracing the Dark Side during that iconic moment in “The Empire Strikes Back.” In this Marvel comic issue, we get a glimpse into young Luke’s thoughts as he ponders the allure of joining forces with his villainous father. The feelings portrayed are raw and genuine, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.

In the final part of the second tale, Palpatine grants Vader permission to search for his descendants and assess where his allegiance lies. Meanwhile, Sabé locates the young Jedi and urges him to explore the darker parts of himself when they meet. It seems that Skywalker has heeded her counsel in “Darth Vader” issue 48, as the future Jedi master will likely be tested to his utmost limits.

In an advance peek at “Star Wars: Darth Vader” #48 from Looper, Luke Skywalker is taken aback as he gets into a scuffle with Sabé in the Outer Rim. It seems Sabé intends to abduct Warba Calip, but this may be a ruse to uncover Luke’s true allegiance instead.

Will this anger be enough to turn him into a villain like his father? We’re familiar with the story’s ultimate outcome, but there might still be unexpected turns in the journey.

As a longtime fan of Star Wars, I’m thrilled to see the latest comic book series, “Darth Vader” #48, promising an action-packed exploration into the depths of Anakin Skywalker’s troubled soul. Having grown up watching the original trilogy and then rediscovering the expanded universe as an adult, I can’t help but be drawn to the complex character development of Darth Vader. The images released from this issue only add fuel to my excitement, showcasing the transformation of the former Tatooine farm boy into the morally conflicted Sith Lord we all know and love. Can’t wait to read it!

Darth Vader continues to rebel against his master in the comics

In the captivating saga of Marvel’s “Darth Vader” comic books, one intriguing plotline revolves around Darth Vader’s contentious relationship with Emperor Palpatine. The imperial leader is curious about Vader’s true abilities, leading him to issue orders for attempts on his former apprentice’s life and feign delight at the outcomes. Unsurprisingly, this manipulation infuriates Vader, pushing him to join forces with a clandestine group of dark dissenters called the Schism Imperials. These rebels share Vader’s disdain for Palpatine and aim to bring an end to his rule, believing it detrimental to the Galactic Empire.

In Issue #47, Vader and his group defeated the Sith Eternal and fought against a massive Summa-verminoth creature on Exegol. However, the most significant part of this event might be Palpatine instructing Vader to seek out his son and determine if his spirit can be saved. Therefore, an anticipated interaction between Luke Skywalker and his father could transpire soon — assuming the Jedi are able to deal with the bothersome Sabé first.
