- "The Vader from A New Hope was a terrifying, enigmatic black knight who spoke infrequently. Any good in him was buried much too deep to see. He represented the relentless strength of the Empire, and his thoughts, like his face, were hidden by his mask. When writing Star Wars: Purge—The Tyrant's Fist, this was the Vader I embraced."
- ―Alexander Freed
Star Wars: Purge: The Tyrant's Fist is the fourth story arc of the Star Wars: Purge comic series. It was written by Alexander Freed and the first issue was published by Dark Horse Comics on December 5, 2012. Contrary to the other Purge story arcs, The Tyrant's Fist was a two-part story. It covered the adventures of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader during the Vaklin insurgency.
