The Non-Canon Expert looks at Darth Vader’s starfighter that was recently heavily featured in the Age of Rebellion: Darth Vader issue, and explains the origins of the starship through Darth Sidious, why Vader flew this starfighter rather than the TIE Advanced x1 in the early days of the Empire, and the potential great connections within the Canon lore to Darth Maul’s Scimitar starfighter. This is a Canon story for Darth Vader and his starfighter as seen within a number of Canon sources, including the 2015 Darth Vader comic, the 2017 Darth Vader comic, the 2015 Lando comic, the «Star Wars: TIE Fighter Owner’s Workshop Manual,» and this past week’s Age of Rebellion: Darth Vader comic issue.
