Review: Legacy of Vader #10 - A Strong Addition to the Sequel Trilogy

Legacy of Vader issue 10, released Wednesday, follows Kylo Ren as he returns to his grandfather’s former stronghold. After a brief rocky pause in the series, this installment dives back into the intense psychological journey of Kylo Ren.

Kylo Ren tries to achieve two goals: uncover more of Darth Vader’s secrets and banish the persistent spirit of Luke Skywalker that haunts him. However, by the end of the issue, Ren finds himself more bewildered than ever.

This issue deepens The Rise of Skywalker narrative by enriching Kylo Ren’s redemption arc. It offers a subtle, emotionally charged, and at times chilling expansion to the story.

Writers Ross and Woodard deliver a compelling narrative that heightens the emotional tension. They skillfully portray the internal struggle between light and dark not only within Kylo Ren but also in the galaxy around him.

"It’s classic Star Wars–Luke entering the cave on Dagobah, Anakin on Mortis, Rey on Ahch-To–without feeling tired thanks to the combined efforts of all three creators on this issue."

The issue begins with Kylo Ren, troubled by the knowledge the Jedi Grandea shared about Luke's death, yet still sensing Luke’s presence. Ren seeks assistance from Vaneé, who fluctuates between being all-knowing about Vader and the Skywalkers and seeming completely oblivious, as Kylo notes.

Highlights

This issue effectively sets the psychological tone for Kylo Ren's journey and strengthens the connection with the overarching sequel trilogy themes.

Author’s summary: Legacy of Vader #10 skillfully deepens Kylo Ren’s redemption path with emotional intensity and rich storytelling, making it a standout chapter in the Star Wars sequel saga.
