Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: Darth Vader #50!Darth Vader He did not allow disgusting atrocities throughout his life Star Wars history, from hunting down and killing a rogue Jedi to mowing down a room full of children. However, one of the worst crimes that fans believe Darth Vader was responsible for can officially be crossed off the list. Star Wars It frees Vader from a really despicable crime that happened during the original trilogy.
In Star Wars: Darth Vader #50 Greg Pak, Raffaele Ienco, Luke Ross, Paul Fry and Adam Gorham, Sabé (Padmé Amidala's former servant) tried and failed to convince Darth Vader to lay down his weapons and walk away from Palpatine. Vader was on the warpath against his master, but Sabé knew that his quest for revenge would only end in more pain and suffering. However, after Vader lost his battle with Palpatine and once again obeyed his master, Sabe decided to have a conversation with his daughter Leia Organa.
Sabe had to make sure that Leia would not succumb to dark temptations like Darth Vader. Vader is too far gone to save, and Luke Skywalker has already proven indestructible. In Sabe's eyes, Leia was the only person who could pose as serious a threat to the galaxy as Palpatine and Vader, but once they spoke, Sabe's worries were put to rest. During that conversation, the destruction of Aldera was brought up, at which point Sabe clarified that “It was Tarkin's choice. Not Vader's“.

Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope
Looking back New Hopeit is clear that Darth Vader was not responsible for the Death Star's destruction of Alderaan, even Star Wars fans have attributed this monstrosity to him for decades. The Emperor gave Grand Moff Tarkin full control of the Death Star during its construction, and Tarkin extended his powers to the full when he ordered the destruction of Alderaan.
Not only was Tarkin involved in the destruction of Aldera, but Darth Vader was against the planet-destroying weapon from the start. In Episode IVDarth Vader the Death Star”technological terrorism” and even considers it insignificant next to the raw power of the Force. Vader disagreed with the mere existence of this weapon, not its use. This is coupled with the fact that Tarkin simply overpowered Vader on the Death Star, and it's easy to see that the destruction of Alderaan wasn't his fault – it's just a point hammered home.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #24 by Greg Pak and Marco Castiello
Star Wars: Darth Vader #50 is not the first time Star Wars the comics made it clear that Darth Vader was not to blame for the destruction of Aldera. In Star Wars: Darth Vader #24, Vader admits that he sensed a terrible disturbance in the Force the moment Alderaan was destroyed. All these lives taken at once was too much even for Vader, and he bore the brunt of this horror throughout the original trilogy. Had it been up to Vader, the Empire would never have taken such brutal steps to defeat the Rebellion. But that was Tarkin's call, not Vader's.
While Darth Vader is still responsible for crimes that cost countless lives across the galaxy, the destruction of Alderaan is not one of them. Star Wars officially forgives Darth Vader placing all the blame on Grand Moff Tarkin instead of his most heinous original trilogy crime.
