EVERYTHING Darth Vader Was Doing for 20 Years (Canon)

For twenty years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Darth Vader served as the Emperor's enforcer while the man inside the armor fought a war Palpatine never intended him to win. He bled a kyber crystal on the planet where he nearly died, trained broken Jedi to hunt their own kind, and built a fortress over a dark side portal to reach his dead wife. Every mission, every scar, and every test Palpatine carved into him was designed to keep Anakin Skywalker buried. Two people from his old life cracked the mask trying to reach him. Only one would eventually remove it.
