Star Wars Kubrick Darth Vader & 501st Legion Clone Trooper Medicom

Sustained by a mechanized life support system and prosthetics, the battered and disfigured Sith Lord Darth Vader serves as both the apprentice and enforcer of Emperor Palpatine. Darth Vader coordinates with the 501st on Coruscant, leading the assault on the Jedi Temple which results in the death of virtually everyone within. Vader later travels to Mustafar to eliminate the Separatist Council. In his subsequent battle against the outraged Obi-Wan is thoroughly defeated and left for dead.

Harvested from the genetic materials of Jango Fett, Clones Troopers comprising the 501st Legion are initially scattered throughout the ranks of ordinary Clone Troopers, and are later regrouped at a secret facility on Corsucant where they receive advanced training. Commanded by Darth Vader, the 501st Legion participates in the Great Jedi Purge. They are eventually reorganized into a security force assigned to the first Death Star, and later participate in the Empire’s invasion of Hoth.
