Star Wars Reveals the Final Fate of Darth Vader's OTHER Sith Mentor
This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Crimson Reign #4.
A new Star Wars comic has revealed the final fate of Palpatine's (and eventually Darth Vader's) heretical Sith mentor. Emperor Palpatine had always been obsessed with the conquest of death.
