Kylo Ren Enters the Fire in Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #3

The deeper you go into Darth Vader’s legacy, the darker things get. Legacy of Vader #3 drops Kylo Ren into the sands of Tatooine, the birthplace of his grandfather, and immediately tosses him into the arms (and chains) of none other than Gardulla the Hutt.

Set for release on April 16, 2025, this issue dives into Kylo’s tortured psyche, his lust for power, and the lingering ghosts of Skywalker past. There’s sand, there’s electricity, there’s emotional trauma—it’s everything you expect from a Skywalker bloodline tale.

And with jaw-dropping artwork and some seriously intense panels, let’s take a closer look at what you can expect from inside the pages.

Even after claiming the title of Supreme Leader, Kylo Ren is still struggling under the weight of his family’s legacy. The opening narration sets the tone: Kylo’s journey to Tatooine isn’t just about history—it’s about facing who he is and who he’s afraid to become.

Oh, and Gardulla the Hutt is not offering tea and cookies. Kylo’s been captured. And it’s about to get messy.

Chained to a stone wall, shirtless and snarling, Kylo does what any Skywalker descendant would do—shout dramatic threats while being electrocuted. This panel hits hard (literally and emotionally), and you can feel the rage building as Kylo’s identity crisis meets the Hutt underworld’s reality check.

If you’re looking for pain, power, and pulpy darkness, here it is.

As if being tortured wasn’t enough, Kylo’s mind isn’t exactly a safe space either. Haunted by voices that whisper, “You are nothing,” and visions of Rey, this spread blurs the lines between physical punishment and psychological torment. Is it the Force? Is it trauma? Either way—it hurts.

This one’s a rollercoaster. Kylo resists, fights back, and screams through the pain—reminding everyone that he is Supreme Leader Kylo Ren of the First Order (in case you forgot). But Gardulla is unimpressed. Each blast of electricity shatters his ego just a little more.

These pages are heavy with symbolism and raw emotion, showing just how fragile power can be when stripped of armor and allies.
