==Publisher's summary==
SCOURGE OF CORUSCANT! – A DARK DROIDS TIE-IN! What greater prize could the DROID SCOURGE imagine than CORUSCANT, an ecumenopolis filled with millions of droids? And what greater TERROR could the people of Coruscant imagine than a horde of scourged droids…led by LORD VADER himself?
==Plot summary==
==Development==
Artist Raffaele Ienco shared line art for Vader 40 as a teaser for the issue. The way in which Vader blocks Sidious's Force lightning was speculated to be an example of the Tutaminis Force power by fans. Ienco confirmed this was not his intention, yet left the possibility open that it could be retconned into Tutaminis because he was not overly familiar with the subject.
