STAR WARS: DARTH VADER: DARK LORD of the SITH, VOLUME 3 - THE BURNING SEAS (graphic novel) by Charles Soule
Published in 2018 by Licensed Publishing.
In the first story of Darth Vader: The Burning Seas, Mon Cala has been reluctant to join Palpatine's empire. Governor Tarkin has been sent to Mon Cala to negotiate with their king. Mon Cala is the home world of fan favorite Admiral Ackbar. Ackbar is only Commander Ackbar in this story, but he plays a prominent role. Meanwhile, Vader and his team have been sent to Mon Cala to hunt down a Jedi that the Empire suspects is helping Mon Cala in their negotiations.
When the shuttle carrying the Empire's negotiation team is destroyed by a bomb, all out war erupts...
The second story ties in with the movie Rogue One. It is set on the planet Geonosis where the Empire is working on Project Stardust - the plan to build the Death Star.

My Review
This is a very strong series. The first story in this installment was very strong. Young Ackbar shows why he would eventually be picked to lead the rebel fleet. He is audacious. The first story also shows us that everyone who opposes the Empire is not necessarily a good guy. There are reasons why some were more than happy to see the Jedi fall.
The second story is more of a moody detective story than an action story. It's a good story, but not a great story.
I rate this graphic novel 4 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith, Volume 3- the Burning Seas.
