The life of the being once known as Anakin Skywalker and again as Darth Vader began on the desert world of Tatooine and ended above the forest moon of Endor. Or did it? The first Death Star was destroyed over Yavin 4, but the shot delivered to one special TIE did not send that ship spinning off into space but down toward the planet. Its pilot was found days later, half-dead in the jungle. He was pulled from his ship and taken straight into a hastily made cell within the temple turned Rebel base. With the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi (who narrowly missed confronting Vader during the rescue of Princess Leia/escape from the Death Star) the Dark Lord of the Sith, right hand to the Emperor, received medical help and was kept secure where he was held. Vader was allowed none of his previous strength but was kept free of pain and allowed to breathe easily in a semi-conscious state. This is how he was years later, when one girl/young woman arrived at the base/prison on the frozen world of Hoth. The beginning Newest Chapter The beginning Newest Chapter |
