Princess Leia Becomes Darth Vader’s Apprentice in New Story
But Her Dark Side Redesign Has Been Done Better
InStar Warscanon , Vader long chafe under Palpatine ’s control and wanted to kill and replace his maestro , however he require his own Sith learner to do it . Vader expend a prospicient sentence trying to corrupt and recruit Luke Skywalker , only to be save and freed from the Dark Side by his son . However , Star war : Darth Vader # 50will now ask what would have happened if he ’d targeted his daughter instead .

Leia’s Sith Armor Isn’t Her Best Dark Side Look
Princess Leia’s Imperial Disguise Is Way More Haunting
As cool as it is to see Leia getting Sith armor that matches her father ’s , she has really looked scarier - and really recently . 2022’sStar Wars # 29(from Charles Soule and Ramón Rosanas ) saw Luke , Leia and their friend infiltrate an auction for acquire rare Nihil technology . To shroud her individuality from those who might report her to the Empire , Leia take aim on the pretence of an Imperial loyalist , complete with an expressionless lily-white masquerade party . It ’s a haunting face , and one that reverberate her beginner ’s adoption of a mask to finish his rebirth as Darth Vader .
As nerveless as Leia ’s new prescribed Dark Side expression is , it does n’t quite populate up to her recent majestic camouflage . An panoplied costume accentuates her link to Vader , but the majestic disguise subverts Leia ’s good tone and turns her into what she could easily have been - a alien Imperial who lives above the problems of the people the Empire crushes under its heel . Hiding her grimace was a great ocular decision ( as well as a necessary disguise ) because it so understandably symbolizes her exit of humanity and turning away from compassion .
Hopefully , Star state of war : Darth Vader # 50will take cues from Princess Leia ’s regal camouflage within the topic itself , because her ghost - like show successfully turned the galaxy ’s most passionate defender into a frigid - hearted appendage of the Imperial class who stand shoulder joint to shoulder withStar Wars’villains .
Star Wars : Darth Vader # 50is coming September 18 , 2024 .
