Star Wars: Darth Vader (2015), Issue 25, Page 04

The final issue of the first volume of Darth Vader.

In the first issue of the series, Vader slaughters an entire village of Tusken Raiders as he awaits the bounty hunters Boba Fett and Black Krrsantan. In the epilogue to the final issue, we learn that one Tusken Raider survived and witnessed the slaughter of his tribe from a hiding place atop a sand dune overlooking his village. After Vader departs Tatooine in his ship, the Tusken Raider flees into the desert.

As night falls over the Jundland Wastes, he lights a small fire to keep safe from the cold. A neighboring tribe traveling on Bantha back discovers him. He leads the tribe's shaman back to the lifeless village and tells him of the massacre. Later, as dawn approaches, the shaman retells the story of the village massacre to his tribe by fireside. He then orders the tribesmen to gather the dead to be burned.

They build a giant wicker man resembling Darth Vader, tying the lone survivor of the village massacre to a stake above the piles of carcasses, and sets the entire display on fire. As the dead villagers and the lone survivor burn, the tribe bows down in awe before the funeral pyre.

Here on page 4 the survivor leads the shaman to the scene of the massacre. This pre-dates the insights to Tusken life later shown in The Book of Boba Fett. Additional images show the printed page and the final page of the story.
