- Title: Darth Vader #27
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Greg Pak
- Artist: Raff Ienco
Continuing the unexpected alliance of Darth Vader and Sabé against Governor Tauntaza, Darth Vader #27 brings the fight to the Governor and what she mistakenly believes is her unbreachable fortress. The comic is notable for its action and Vader and Sabé each saving each other’s lives with the Dark Lord of the Sith putting off the attack on the Governor to rescue Sabé from a sandstorm and later the former handmaiden choosing to help a wounded and defenseless Vader after his successful attack on the Governor.
The comic ends with a bit of a tease and the pair limping off together towards a possible conclusion to the arc and a meeting with the Emperor whose plans for his apprentice likely do not include a new friend who reminds him of his lost love and humanity.
