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.
🔗 Image 1: The Setup – A Legacy in Chains
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.
⚡ Image 2: “Do You Know Who I Am?”
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.
🔥 Image 3: Visions and Ghosts
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.
⚔️ Image 4: Supreme Leader, Electrified
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.
💀 Image 5: The Cover – Ghosts of Tatooine
This cover by Derrick Chew says it all: Kylo Ren, twin sabers ignited, crouched in a haunted green glow, ready to confront the Ghosts of Tatooine. The energy screams conflict. The posture says survivor. This is Kylo at his most dangerous—and maybe, his most vulnerable.
