The story begins on Eriadu , a planet in the Outer Rim Territories . There , Imperial stormtroopers are searching for Jedi Master Tsui Choi . After Choi surprises them and defeats them , he is surprised by another Jedi survivor , Bultar Swan . Swan tells Choi of the imminent rendezvous of a selection of Jedi survivors of Order 66 . The two head off to the notorious planet Kessel under Bultar ' s guidance . Meanwhile on Coruscant , Darth Vader completes his torture of Jedi Dama Montalvo by killing him , his reason being that Dama refused to give up the location of Obi - Wan Kenobi . Just then his master Darth Sidious arrives , and berates him for his lack of patience in his search for surviving Jedi and especially for his old master . Afterwards , a trooper informs Lord Vader that Imperial spies have information of the Jedi gathering . The person who has called this gathering is Shadday Potkin . Bultar and Tsui arrive , bringing the total number of Jedi in attendance to eight . The Jedi began to debate what should be done about the Empire and the purge of their order , and Koffi Arana proposes going to the dark side to stop Vader . As the Jedi ponder this , a dark presence is sensed arriving . It is none other than Lord Vader . Secretly , Shadday has " invited " the Sith Lord , by spreading rumors saying that Obi - Wan would be there , in hopes of the Jedi group being able to trap and overwhelm Vader . To help her do this , she also employs the use of a cortosis weaved blade . Vader quickly dispatches one of the Jedi , Sia - Lan Wezz , and while fighting the other Jedi , promptly disposes of another , Ma ' kis ' shaalas . Shadday is able to corner Vader and dispose of his lightsaber blade with the cortosis weapon , but then Vader uses the Force to grab Shadday . He conquers her weapon , then snaps her neck . Using the cortosis blade , Vader disables the lightsabers of Roblio Darté and Arana . The Aleena Choi manages to sever Vader ' s hand and , with help from the others , bring him to " surrender " . Arana does not believe that Vader is sincere , and when Bultar protests and points out the Jedi do not take the lives of unarmed opponents , Arana takes Bultar ' s saber , kills her , and heads after Vader . However , he underestimates him and Vader sends the cortosis blade still held by his hand through Arana with a wave of the hand , and grabs a spare lightsaber dropped by one of the dead Jedi . The three remaining Jedi rally together , and use the Force to send debris hurling at Vader . Almost incapacitated , Tsui Choi finally decides that it is necessary to finish Vader off , when a contingent of stormtroopers show up , and begin firing . Jastus Farr is fired upon and falls to his death , while Choi distracts the troopers for a chance for Darté to escape . But due to unexpected interference from Vader it is useless , and the two remaining Jedi succumb to the barrage of blaster fire . Vader returns to Coruscant , where his purge of the Jedi conclave has been forged into a legendary rumor that states Vader tracked down a nest of fifty Jedi and destroyed them all . Behind the scenes . There are a number of coloring inconsistencies insofar as lightsabers are concerned . For instance , Sia - Lan Wezz is depicted as wielding a green lightsaber when she initially charges Vader , but the color of the blade turns from green to pink in the panel that depicts Vader slicing off her hand . Furthermore , as Vader stands poised to duel Shadday Potkin , his lightsaber is made to resemble a metallic blade instead of its trademark crimson color . It is not until after Potkin disables Vader ' s saber with her cortosis blade that he acquires a metallic blade .
