Star Wars: Darth Vader Bleeds His Kyber Crystal On Mustafar After Revenge of the Sith

In the aftermath of Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader returns to Mustafar – the place where Anakin Skywalker truly died. Alone with his rage, grief, and hatred, Vader performs one of the darkest rituals in Sith history: bleeding a kyber crystal. This moment marks the final severing of Anakin from the Jedi and the birth of the crimson blade that will terrorize the galaxy. Inspired by canon Star Wars comics, this cinematic short explores Vader’s pain, his connection to the dark side, and the raw emotion behind the creation of his red lightsaber – set shortly after Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi.
