Action and intrigue as Vader's new lackey, Doctor Aphra, and her psychotic droids recruit a four of the galaxy's best bounty hunters for a heist. Meanwhile, back at the Empire, Vader is given his marching orders: found out who committed this expensive heist. he's also given a new aide, and this one proves to be unusually competent and perceptive, leading to a Big Clock In Spaaace as Vader tags along and Tagge tracks down the culprit who will turn out to be, of course, Vader. One can't imagine Vader getting nervous and sweaty as he is obliged to let the noose tighten around his own neck, but such is the characterisation in this series, with Vader cool and deadly and ready for anything, that you;re rather more worried about the aide and the inevitable result of his solving this mystery.

A lot of fun, with lasers and spaceships and spectacle aplenty and a delightful array of villains to aternately revile and root for, depending.
