Book Summary: NEVER MESS WITH THE BEST! We all know DARTH VADER as THE EMPEROR’S iron fist, but as any rebel can tell you, he’s also a terror in a TIE Fighter. What does it feel like in that X-WING cockpit when you’re nose-to-nose with the EMPIRE’S deadliest pilot? Will you even live to tell the tale, hotshot?
Book Review: Let there be a lesson to this: never try to take on Vader in a dogfight. You will only lose.

We meet our cocky pilot who, as a kid, could not save his father. Fastforward a few years later and the kid has grown up and joined the Rebellion against the Empire. The Rebellion has managed to get the upperhand and in doing so is able to attack an Empire stronghold while Vader is there. Of course, this angers Vader and sends him out to join the fight. And here is where our story's wannabe 'hero' decides to take on Vader, something someone should have warned him not to. In doing so and being unable to take him down, he brings Vader to the base of the Rebellion.

This was not my favorite issue of this limited series but it is still well worth the read. Vader is not prominent in this one but you can still feel his presence within the pages. He is there and he lets you know that cocky pilots need to be put in their places.
