That mission, however, is not the front-and-centre over-arching plot strand of this collection: rather, we have Vader engineering a theft from the Empire, and then trying to cover that theft up when he is tasked, alongside a zealous aide, to find out just who had done so.
Not bad, but not the best of the new Star Wars line comics I've read.

In this we find an answer to the mystery of Padme Amidala (or is she?) re-appearing, pretty much straight out of the gates: it's not Padme (no surprise), but rather one of her handmaidens - remember the Queens Double bit from The Phantom Menace? And, to a lesser extent, Attack of the Clones? There's your answer.
As before, the going on are then interlaced with flashbacks to Vader's earlier life as Anakin Skywalker, before Vader and Sabe then agree to work together for their mutual benefit as long as interests coincide (Vader wants to find and punish whoever hid Luke from him, while Sabe is hunting for Padme's killer, without knowing he's right in front of her!)

"The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion ... " - Grand Moff Tarkin
Set between the times of 'Episode III: Revenge of the Sith' and 'Episode IV: A New Hope', this is the first of two collections that deals with just how the Jedi Order became (all but) extinct; just how Darth Vader went about hunting and purging his former comrades.
This collection consists of the following comic-books runs:
Star Wars: Republic #78-80
Star Wars: Purge
Star Wars: Purge - Seconds to Die
Star Wars: Purge - The Hidden Blade
Star Wars: Purge - The Tyrant's Fist #1 and #2
Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1-5
Star Wars: Dark Times #1-5
Obviously, then, Vader plays a large role in it, but not in *all* the stories contained. As a collection, as well, some of the stories are better than others, with (similarly) some of the art also stronger than others.
