After a shocking defeat at the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of their feared
technological terror known as the Death Star, The Emperor was absolutely enraged. Although
his apprentice Darth Vader had served him loyally for years since Order 66, he had now failed him
and must pay the price for his failure… As part of this punishment he was sent back to his pain
ridden homeworld of Tatooine to confront Jabba the Hutt, and once there he remembers his past
and the pure pain and suffering he endured. Because of this he lashes out with fury and
slaughters yet another tribe of Tusken raiders just as he did many years prior, creating another
religion among the Sand People devoted to him… So remember to subscribe, lets break the story down!
The story begins beneath the scorching twin suns of Tatooine, in the area surrounding Jabba
the Hutt’s palace. As the doors rise open and the harsh sunlight pours into the hallways, a
single shadowy figure parts the light. Darth Vader immediately walks forward and into the palace, but
is confronted by two of Jabba’s loyal Gamorrean guards. Instead of taking the time to protest or
try to deceive his way through, Vader does what he does best and immediately ignites his red blade,
before slicing the heads of the Gammoreans off. Without even a moment of hesitation,
Vader continues walking forward and this time is confronted by bib Fortuna, Jabba’s majordomo.
Bib tries to communicate with Vader in Huttese but vader sternly tells him “I
will speak with the Hutt”. Bib attempts his usual slimy act trying to dodge the question,
but Vader isn’t having any of it this time immediately re ignitng his crimson blade,
this time with a threat. Bib Fortuna then rushes over to the sleeping Jabba
and frantically tries to awaken the huge slug and tells his boss that Vader has butchered
two of the guards. Jabba is not happy whatsoever with this little arrangement,
telling Vader “You arrive a day early, kill two of guards and expect me to deal with you”?
Vader stays silent and is careful not to step over Jabba’s trapdoor.
He has gathered a pretty large audience of scum and villainy behind him, including everyone from
Dengar to Boba Fett. Jabba then asks the dark lord what he can do for the empire but Vader
refuses to speak. He wants Jabba to dismiss the crowd of disgusting onlookers immediately. With
the wave of a hand Jabba sends the assortment of bounty hunters and scoundrels out of the main room
before turning his head back to Vader. Jabba then turns his head asking vader what he can do NOW?
Vader however says “Not the Empire. For me”.
He then says he will return tomorrow in an official capacity, but today he is here for
personal reasons and will not leave until he is satisfied. Jabba shows disgust and warns Vader
to not even think about trying a mind trick on him because they will not work on a great Hutt.
This angers Vader and he tells Jaba that he was not trying a mind trick.
That is not the way of the Sith. Vader then warns Jabba that the Jedi have been gone for a long time
and the reason for that… is standing right before him. Vader continues to
show that he is the one in charge here by confidently standing onto the trap door,
leading Jabba to jab back. The Hutt Crime lord tells Vader that he is here alone,
in secret… if he were to send him down the trapdoor to the Rancor below, nobody would notice.
Immediately after this, Jabba waves his arm and sends the hooligans from the palace to
surround Vader but makes one crucial mistake.He refers to Darth VAder as a Jedi which as you can
guess does not please him whatsoever. The dark Lord then ignites his red blade in agner and
immediately blocks every blaster bolt that comes at him, before completely decimating
a jawa and his nearby scoundrel friend. More and more scoundrels come at Vader,
but he manages to dispatch every one of them, killing them with swift strikes of the blade.
After this Vader begins angrily force choking Jabba for calling him a Jedi before finally
asking him if he understands that the Sith do not use Mind tricks. They prefer to use sheer force.
Now after this Vader visits Boba Fett and a very interesting Wookiee named Black Krrsantan to
inquire about the bounty placed on Han Solo’s head by Jabba. Boba Fett is obviously on the hunt for
Han, while Black Krssantan is sent to hunt down Cylo, an agent of Emperor Palpatine who augmented
many subjects, hoping to find a replacement for Darth Vader should he die. Now the reason I’m
pointing out Black Krssantan here is that he has the potential to show up in the Book of Boba Fett
due to his deep ties with Boba, so make sure you keep an eye out for him in the show.
Following this, Vader Warns the two bounty hunters that they both must complete their
separate missions in a timely missions and that they should get to work immediately.
If they can’t follow these guidelines… well you know what will happen to them.
The Dark Lord does not tolerate failure and will punish anyone who cannot fulfill his orders.
Right after, Vader needs to let off some steam because of the disrespect shown to him by Jabba
and decides to do the same thing he did all those years ago as Anakin skywalker.
He travels down to a nearby Tusken Raider village and immediately ignites his red
blade before going on a spree of death and destruction, cutting down every tusken he sees.
Vader leaves a trail of black death wherever he walks and even goes as far as to burn down
the entire village. The anger at the loss of his mother still sticks with him to this day,
even as Darth Vader. It is something he can never forgive the Sand people and will remember every
time he steps back on the sands of Tatooine. In total Vader slaughters tens if not hundreds of
Tuskens not leaving a single one alive… or so he thought. One Tusken raider from the village
happens to be parched up on a nearby hill and witnesses the entire massacre under the twin
suns. He is obviously horrified and immediately rushes off to a nearby clan to tell the tale.
Now this Tusken raider is actually telling the tale of the Demon in the Night RETURNING,
since this situation has happened before and actually created a religion among the Tusken
people. When Anakin committed his first slaughter back when he was still a Jedi,
one Raider also survived on that dark day and told the other Clans of the Blue bladed demon
in the night. From that day onward the Tuskens worshipped and feared the demon,
making sacrifices to ward him off for many years… Now This tusken is telling
the others of that Demon returning, but this time with a blade of red fire…
Upon reaching a nearby camp, the Tusken places some branches down and then fires
his blaster at it to ignite the pile. He then simply sits down and curls up in tears,
horrified at what he had just witnessed. The slaughter of his friends and family at the
hands of the night demon who the Tuskens have feared for years since the first slaughter.
After seeing this young Tusken boy in tears the Clan leader approaches him and asks what has
happened… The boy tells the tale and then leads the rest of the tribe over to the other campsite.
They are of course horrified and immediately screech into the skies at the sight of their
many dead brothers. At this point, the entire tribe has been called in to the centre of the
destroyed village and they have been told to stand watch while a massive burning
effigy and shrine are built to the Night demon hoping to once again ward him off…
As the shaman of the Tuksen village peers into the burning flames he sees a peaceful village.
Moments later though a massive inferno engulfs the entire town and a shadowy figure emerges. It
is the demon of the night who we of course know is Darth Vader… The Tuskens know that this is
the same night demon who slaughtered their people before the Clone Wars but they don’t know just how
right they really are… Anakin and Darth Vader both continuing the legacy of the Demon in the night.
After this, the Shaman sees the night demon summon a ball of fire and a blade of fire
before slashing through every single tusken present. With his eyes glowing a bright red,
the night demon continues stalking sending streams of rage in all directions…
More tutskens now gather around the fire to watch the shaman recount the events
and now he sees more clearly. He sees the mask of the night demon holding his blade
of red plasma and piercing not just the men, but the women and the children too.
At this point, the Tuskens are done viewing the past and want to do something to stop the demon
returning. Some of the sand people have collapsed with fear and are not capable of helping,
but the ones who are begin gathering wood and other flammable objects to create a shrine.
Hordes of tuskens carry big chunks of material, combing all of into one location. Stepping back
to view their brand new effigy, the figure of Darth Vader stands tall over the village.
Moments later the raiders bow down to the Demon in the night and the shaman sets the effigy ablaze,
making one final attempt to ban him into the realm he came from…
Obviously not realizing that he hails from the very same planet as them.
And if you want to see how a religion was created around Anakin’s original
slaughter of the Tuskens from Attack of the Clones, where they worshipped and feared the
demon in the night, check out the link in the pinned comment below. It’s a truly tragic tale.
So that is how Darth Vader returned to Tatooine after A New Hope and slaughtered the Tusken
Raiders once more. Thanks so much for watching, remember to leave a like and subscribe for more
