"Star Wars -Phantasmagoria-" is a four-page comic book story, part of the Star Wars Manga: Silver collection, and an entry in the Infinities series. Baron Ueda both wrote and drew this comic. The narrative presents an alternate version of the climax of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, specifically focusing on the moment Darth Vader chooses to betray his master, Emperor Palpatine. The short comic delves into Vader's internal monologue immediately before he hurls Palpatine into the Death Star II's reactor core.
The story unfolds after the duel aboard the Death Star II, with Emperor Palpatine using the Force to electrocute Luke Skywalker while Darth Vader observes. As Luke cries out for his father's help, Vader's thoughts are flooded with memories of Padmé Amidala uttering similar words in his dreams. Vader reflects on his enduring love for Padmé. He explains that his fall to the dark side stemmed from his distrust of the Jedi, who he believed were trying to separate him and Padmé. He sought power to protect his family and hold them close. As Vader questions Luke's motivations, even in the face of death, he is brought back to the present as Luke continues to plead with him. Vader then seizes Palpatine and throws him down the Death Star's reactor shaft, resulting in the Emperor's death. With his master gone, Vader vows to himself and his son that he will finally save those he loves from dying. The story concludes with Vader declaring to himself that he is a Jedi.
