Ever wondered what happened to Darth Vader's mask after the Battle of Endor, especially in "Return of the Jedi", or what was going on in those months after the epic, crazy battle where he lost his life? This story was a truly intense part of Star Wars lore that we learned a bit about in "Star Wars: Battle of Jakku - Insurgency Rising #1."
The Mask's Journey:
The latest issue has a fantastic tale that has fans everywhere looking for those additional insights. It details who had Darth Vader's mask after the iconic event where Luke was the last to stand by him, after a powerful sacrifice. To help fans get into those moments, it turns out there was someone who saw Vader's body!
A super powerful character who will have a lasting impact for Star Wars, it was the iconic Leia Organa! This happened on Endor right after the battle took place, with Leia going over to his remains.
Leia Organa and her Father's Death:
There are some things in movies and series that you don't get a complete look at! A series of books may give a different perspective. We see some hints of the conflict and emotional toll that her dad's life brought to Leia in "Bloodline" (a 2016 novel) as her life turned a bit political as the galaxy was brought a massive, epic shocking truth: Darth Vader was the father that brought Leia and Luke into this galaxy, along with a lot of tragedy. There are other works too that had a quick, unforgettable look as well, like "The Princess and the Scoundrel," (written by Beth Revis)!
But here is a super great reveal! "Insurgency Rising," gave everyone that true, emotional glimpse at her feelings when the story takes a step back to a pivotal moment. This story reveals her emotional rollercoaster ride after she realized that Darth Vader was her father!
You will see that Leia still held onto so much resentment and anger toward her dad.
There is still plenty of hatred toward the villain! It really shows us, she didn't completely accept his sacrifice.
There is just something tragic when these emotions take hold, in particular, with Leia going back to his smoldering body that is being buried at this location! What will you see in this epic chapter is how her emotions really control how things move. She's holding on so tight! That includes an angry decision of what to do next. She removes the mask! You know she couldn't allow this relic to remain a symbol for all that her father did! The fact is, her father had hurt and tortured her and caused endless pain, it had an incredible impact!
Darth Vadar's Mask:
It's been a long journey, it's really amazing how Star Wars continues to have moments that capture the imagination! A truly interesting point about the mask and where it might go! That’s where the series is so fascinating. A key piece of Darth Vader’s story as he becomes a crucial moment for Ben Solo. We saw it at the end of "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.", when Kylo Ren (Ben Solo), in his intense struggle to embrace the "Dark Side," holds this powerful reminder as a part of his costume.
That's a connection that may have fans of Star Wars completely wowed with these hidden details.
The End of An Era, And a New Story:
It is one of those stories, we know how things end, but it's incredible how these moments came together to shape so much of the Star Wars storyline.
The Rebel Alliance is now free to rejoice and take their celebrations of their amazing win over the Empire! These moments from Star Wars really make it more engaging to learn about. As fans see the ending of "Return of the Jedi" we now get that special glimpse of what led to those moments!
This comic has given audiences the most engaging, emotionally raw portrayal of Darth Vader! We’re seeing how these actions take Leia to another epic, interesting, and unexpected story! She may be able to bring more of her inner struggles about "Darth Vader" and those difficult, and tragic moments. What Leia does in "Insurgency Rising", might not just impact her. We might see how the galaxy begins to react and shift!
With all of these new storylines being introduced, now might be a perfect opportunity for any fan to go back to "Star Wars: Battle of Jakku- Insurgency Rising #1," or check out all of the other Star Wars storylines that are just begging for fans to jump into the galaxy.
