Star Wars To Face A Nightmare Even The Sith Tried To Erase From The Galaxy

admonition ! This clause contains spoilers for Star Wars : Dark DroidsStar Wars : Dark Droidswill detail the outcome of the Rebels , offense lords , and other anti - regal forces calling upon ancient powers and technologies they did n’t fully understand , to wipe the Empire from theStar Warsgalaxy , as they inadvertently unleashed something that even the Sith have reason to concern - include and peculiarly Darth Vader : the Scourge .

The Scourge is a sentient infectionthat turns every droid or bionic woman it come into tangency with into a hostile force whole under its hivemind - corresponding control . The first tip of the Scourge was introduced inStar Wars : Revelations#1 ( by Marc Guggenheim , Salvador Larroca , Pere Pérez , Emma Kubert , Justin Mason , and Paul Fry ) , as it was rag through the visions of the future by the Eye of Webbish Bog . Though readers would n’t see it hit current Star Wars canon untilStar Wars : Hidden Empire#5 ( by Charles Soule and Steven Cummings ) where it seemingly mix with the disembodied Spark Eternal , which is a sentient ‘ stilted Force ’ make by a obscure side rage , the Ascendant . The Spark Eternal moves through technology- whether that be droids , ships , or cyborgs - and offer its master of ceremonies effect - like abilities , include and especially a hivemind - comparable connection . When the Fermata Cage was open , a foreign disk with three connected circle markings precipitate out , and the unbodied Spark Eternal merged with the disk , seemingly creating the Scourge ( or , perhaps just a heightened random variable ) .

Not Even Darth Vader Is Safe From The Scourge

In a release fromMarvel Comicsrevealing the release dates of each consequence within the upcomingStar Wars : Dark Droidscrossover event , readers are give even more details about this recent terror to the galaxy far , far away . While previews and first - looks forStar Wars : Dark Droidshave been slowly coming out , this release finally shows what the ultimate goal is for this sentient droid infection : to control the Force . To do that , the Scourge will require to infect arguably the capital Force - exploiter in theStar Warsuniverse , Darth Vader . As shown inStar Wars : Revelationsthrough the Eye of Webbish Bog ’s visions of the future , Beilert Valance - a bionic woman - is infect and controlled by the Scourge , which means Darth Vader is susceptible to its influence as well , given that he is ‘ more machine than man ’ .

The overarching game of the Scourge seems to be to taint every droid and bionic man it amount across until it creates an United States Army the likes of which would match even the Empire . Then , it will taint the great Darth Vader to lead that army against the Empire and the Rebellion , all the while continue to infect droids and bionic man across the galax . This is the blue future the Eye of Webbish Bog tried to discourage Vader about inStar Wars : Revelations , and is also the very affair the ancient Sith ostensibly stress to keep from ever fall out . While still shrouded in secret , what can be surmised by the site , however , is that something like what fans are about to see in Dark Droids happen once before , and the ancient Sith locked it off in the Fermata Cage to winnow out that terror from the galaxy . Now , it is destitute , and with the combined power of the Spark Eternal , it is assuredly more dangerous now than ever .
