About this episode

The episode discusses Darth Vader's mission to secure ore from the rebellious world of Shu-Torun after the Death Star's destruction.

This week, we have escaped from the gravity of of the comic book crossover and returned back to the day-in-the-life tale of Darth Vader. Still hurting from the Death Star's destruction, the Empire badly needs ore to build back its strength. One key supplier: The world of Shu-Torun, a lava filled, mineral rich world of ore dukes, magma submarines, and mining citadels. The only problem is, this world has decided to rescind its deal to the Emperor. Enter: Vader. Support the show by going to Patreon.com/civilized!
