2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For the past several months, Marvel Comics has been celebrating that milestone by publishing a series of one-shot specials spotlighting the main players of the beloved Star Wars movie. Fittingly, that lineup comes to an end with a final one-shot starring none other than Darth Vader himself, as the Dark Lord of the Sith once again proves himself to be a one-man army.
IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of Star Wars: Rogue One – Darth Vader #1. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:

Star Wars: Rogue One – Darth Vader #1 is written by Chris Condon (Ultimate Wolverine) and drawn by Luke Ross (Star Wars: Legacy of Vader). This issue features cover art by David Marquez, Phil Noto, and Walt Simonson. Here’s Marvel’s official description of the book:
WHEN NEGOTIATIONS FAIL, THE EMPIRE SENDS IN ITS ATTACK DOG — DARTH VADER! Director Orson Krennic’s negotiations with the gem-rich planet of Harreld have hit a standstill. Its leader, Harqque, refuses to allow the Empire to mine its rare kyber deposits for use in the Death Star’s deadly super laser. But when the Emperor catches wind of Krennic’s failure, he sends his most trusted acolyte — Darth Vader — to ply the kyber from Harqque by any means necessary.
Star Wars: Rogue One – Darth Vader #1 will be released on October 28, 2026. You can preorder a copy at your local comic shop. You can also preorder the Star Wars: Rogue One trade paperback collection on Amazon.
