Charles Soule's story takes place on Alderaan before the events of the original Star Wars movie. This location alone immediately grabs everyone's attention! There's a major ceremony honoring the Emperor— with Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin attending! It sets a stage that really helps provide all that needed political and social commentary from those high echelons. However, we’ll find Doctor Aphra in the middle of a big heist. A Sith artifact’s involved, adding suspense, excitement; but what's that other part, that shocking reveal about an individual's cameo role in the plot? Darth Momin's comeback!

Momin is infamous. This extremely deadly and skilled creator of weapons makes him known for several achievements that impacted various lore. He was that designer behind the infamous Fermata Cage; which is a seriously awesome, yet completely terrible device that freezes targets in time and the deadly superweapon capable of destroying entire cities, then freezing them just at that specific final point, capturing their expression of sheer horror and terror. Before Momin could finish, he perished after some unfortunate actions caused that awesome yet horrific weapon to become uncontrollable, killing him – leaving behind only his mask, containing his ghost!

That mask becomes a game changer for the overall plot; This is why Momin has had that massive impact and influences many aspects regarding some character developments, highlighting that Momin’s influence truly was important, particularly during the design and the resulting developments around Fortress Vader. It is important to note that Momin's ghost, able to take possession of any person using that mask, manipulates Vader into using Fortress Vader's time-traveling capability in hopes of resurrecting Padmé – This is so interesting; revealing just how easily manipulation and those unexpected elements completely affect otherwise clear objectives. Vader gets there, but Padmé refuses to return.

Despite that unfortunate series of actions involving a Sith Lord’s extremely frustrating attempts at acquiring ultimate power that culminates in death every time it is attained– he succeeded! Those key achievements and discoveries during his many ventures and attempts impact his legacy profoundly; which becomes a pivotal lesson regarding manipulation and success against death; he taught that essential skill– even inadvertently acting as Vader's mentor; This extremely weird storyline is one of the best from Marvel’s Star Wars series!
