Darth Vader and the Lost Command 3 is the third issue of five in the Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command comic mini-series written by W. Haden Blackman.

Haunted by recurring visions of what his life with Padmé might have been like if he had not succumbed to the dark side, and guided by the Ghost Nebula's mysterious priestess, Darth Vader and his troops become embroiled in a disastrous battle on a tar-pit world.

Worse, the hard—fought battle brings Darth Vader no closer to locating Moff Tarkin's missing son—but it does put him in the deadly sights of a traitor!
