Darth Vader #29 represents the twenty-ninth installment in the 2020 canon comic book series entitled Star Wars: Darth Vader. Greg Pak penned the script for this issue, while Luke Ross and Federico Blee provided the illustrations. Marvel Comics released it to the public on November 30, 2022.
TECHNO (RE)UNION! It has been thirty years since Anakin Skywalker, under the Emperor's orders, eliminated Wat Tambor, the Techno Union's head, along with the rest of the Separatist leadership. Therefore, who exactly is the pirate known as JUL TAMBOR? What schemes does he have in motion on Skako Minor? And what action will the Handmaiden, now beside Vader, take when she is tasked with deciding Jul's fate? Furthermore, which Handmaiden are we talking about? Finally, will this new quest achieve Sabé's goal of diverting Vader from the path to the dark side, or will it simply solidify his descent?
According to the publisher's synopsis, the events of Darth Vader 29 occur three decades following the Mission to Mustafar. According to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, the Mission to Mustafar took place in 19 BBY, which would place Darth Vader 29 in 11 ABY. However, this timeline is incorrect, as the events of Darth Vader 29 must precede the death of Darth Vader, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 4 ABY.
