Fans just can’t stop obsessing and wondering about the darker side of Star Wars. That’s likely the reason we’ve found ourselves with Return to Vader’s Castle. This series is actually a collection of short stories (so if you’re only interested in hearing about one character, go for it). But each issue is tied to the rest thanks to the comic’s storyteller/narrator, Thom Hudd.
Hudd made the unfortunate mistake of trying to break into Vader’s Castle. Well, he actually succeeded in the “breaking in” part. It’s the getting out that he’s struggling with. In an attempt to stave off his imminent death (via torture), Hudd has gone full Nights of Arabia, telling tales to buy him some time.
So far, we’ve been told stories about Darth Maul, Tarkin, and Ventress. So, who does that leave for us to learn a bit more about next? The tale he tells in Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader’s Castle #4 revolves around one Jabba the Hutt, and his conniving cousin, Crakka."
