Plot summary[]

DARK HEART OF THE SITH
Part V 
Darth Vader revealed the truth: He is Luke
Skywalker's father. But Luke refused Vader's
call to the dark side of the Force and escaped.

Enraged, Vader has taken a squad of death
troopers and the Imperial forensics droid,
ZED-6-7, on a quest of revenge against everyone
who hid Luke from him. Vader's new ally—Queen
Amidala's former handmaiden Sabé—has sworn
a vengeance of her own against her queen's
killers.

But Sabé betrayed Darth Vader, believing the
Dark Lord to be Padmé's killer. Vader battled
Sabé and her followers on Naboo before
Padmé's grave....
