4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 50 ratings

Join Lina, Milo Graf, and Crater for one last adventure to Vader’s Castle! Perfect for middle-grade readers, these fun, but eerie and horror-packed tales, take you through the creepy side of the Star Wars galaxy.

The ghosts of Vader’s Castle are haunting everybody’s dreams! First, Milo has been having nightmares about zombie droids, with a special appearance by Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, and Jar Jar Binks. Then, Lina runs into Jaxxon, who reveals that he, too, has been having troubling dreams of vicious Wookies bigger than mountains! Plus, catch up with Hudd and Skritt as Hudd deals with dreams concerning the Spirit of the Swamp, a gilled monster that terrorizes Dagobah! But Lina isn’t immune to the nightmares either, as her dreams are visited by the galaxy’s most threatening villain–Darth Vader!

In the finale, Lina, Hudd, Skritt, and Jaxxon race to Mustafar to save Milo and Crater. Will the group be able to fight the ghosts that still haunt the castle, or will the galaxy forever be bound to suffer from the wrath of the Ghosts of Vader’s Castle?!

Ghosts of Vader's Castle finishes the saga started in Tales of Vader's Castle and Return to Vader's Castle!

I love the art work by Derek Charm!

I bought each of the volumes in these collections and each one has had pages that come loose from the bindings. I'm so disappointed. I won't exchange them since it seems to be the series in general but I doubt I'll read them again for fear of them collapsing

5.0 out of 5 stars Il trionfo del Signore Oscuro
Reviewed in Italy on February 25, 2022
Terza raccolta brossurata della fortunata serie della IDW, questa volta ambientata successivamente a Episodio VI e alla morte di Darth Vader.

PRO:
- Probabilmente il migliore dei tre volumi, storie scritte da un Cavan Scott al massimo della froma.
- Le Vere Guerre Stellari, con più di un pizzico di ironia davvero ben piazzata.
- Vari stili grafici, tutti ugualmente validi.
-

CONTRO:
- Nonostante fosse consapevole dell'imminente passaggio dei diritti alla Dartk Horse, IDW ha deciso di non includere nella raccolta la storia one-shot Shadow of Vader's Castle, che a inizio 2022 risulta recuperabile solamente nello spillato.

4.0 out of 5 stars The nightmares contine
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2022
A good conclusion to the Vader's Castle series. Though Vader is dead, his faithful servant Vanee still believed he can be resurrected. Strange how a religion based on betrayal breed loyal followers. To do this he must lure the survivors of the castle back. A dark prophecy from the last line if the first book.

An ok story, I do like the artwork style better in this book it reminds me of the original Dark Empire II. The only complaint is tough this book is set after the other book the main characters look like 10 years younger.

A decent conclusion but what the hell is Bucky O Hare crossed with Howard the Duck's personality doing in this book? The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.
