Next week Darth Vader #29 hits the shelves at all good comic stores and StarWars.com has released the official 4 page preview of the issue!
The preview doesn’t give a whole lot away but we do know that Ochi is working with the other handmaidens of Padme Amidala to remove Sabe from Emperor Palpatine’s service.
Ochi wants her removed from the picture as he see’s Sabe as a threat while the other handmaidens, including Dorme, fear she’s going to fall to the dark side and want to retrieve her before she’s too far gone.
Also based on the publisher’s description of the issue we know that this issue will include the first appearance of Jul Tambor. Jul is a Skakoan pirate who is related to the former leader of the Techno Union from the Clone Wars, Wat Tambor. We know that Jul will be involved in at least the next three issues because the Cover of Darth Vader #31 depict Vader and Jul squaring off with one another.
If you were going to speculate on the appearance of Jul Tambor I would suggest considering the Taurin Clarke “Revelations” Variant as it has Jul on the cover. That variant is Jul Tambor’s first cover appearance. This variant is sold out at TFAW at the moment but you can still get it at cover on eBay.
Check check out the full preview and all variants of Darth Vader # below. Also be sure to get your pre-orders in over at TFAW if they’re not sold out. If they are sold out you can also check out eBay listings here.

TECHNO (RE)UNION!
• Three decades ago, Anakin Skywalker slaughtered Wat Tambor, leader of the Techno Union, along with the rest of the Separatist leaders by the command of the Emperor.
• So who is the pirate JUL TAMBOR, what is he planning on Skako Minor, and what will the Handmaiden, who now stands at Vader’s side, do when it’s her job to choose if Jul lives or dies?
• Also, which Handmaiden is this? And will this new adventure fulfill Sabé’s dream of derailing Vader’s journey to the dark side – or simply complete it?
