So I'm comic book fan and, as most of my kind in this day and age, I HATE events. They're a constant hurdle to go through, stopping stories on their tracks, trying to shake the status quo, and getting all the characters wrong. Sometimes it feels like they CAN'T work. And then we have SW: Vader Down. - ThreadSky

Star Wars: Vader Down is a crossover of only two comics, Star Wars (2015) and Darth Vader (2015), so it's already playing with the advantage. It would be very easy to make an event where our heroes (Luke, Han, and Leia) face Darth Vader and be done with it. An easy kind of crossover.
And yet...

This event lasts for six issues (Vader Down #1, Darth Vader #13, Star Wars #13, Darth Vader #14, Star Wars #14 and Darth Vader #15), which means three months in real time, and manages about nine characters from both comics that are in constant motion, there is always something going on!

From SW we have Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2-D2 and C3-PO. From DV we have Darth Vader himself, Doctor Aphra, Triple-Zero and Beetee.
Soon enough, the characters start to interact with each other. Triple-Zero fakes being C3-PO and Doctor Aphra and her droids capture Luke, sending R2 running.

Han catches up to them, but they have the upper hand... until Chewie comes from the right! He starts going against Triple-Zero, Luke and R2 go against Beetee, and Han and Aphra have the same tricksy idea and knock each other out. It's quite funny. Luke saves the day and both groups split once again.

Too busy for Bugs Bunny anticts (this is about you Han, feel bad), Leia is facing Darth Vader on her own and about to make a self-sacrifficial move to get him out of the game. She's cooler than all of us ❤️
As it stands, Leia is with Threepio, Vader is closeby, and Luke is with Han, Chewie and R2.

SORRY I MESSED UP: I meant that Luke is with Han, Chewie, R2 and... KRRRASANTAN THE BOUNTY HUNTER. Even more characters! The writers thought it was too easy 😎
Han and Chewie have their hands full, but Luke splits to face Vader. Bad move farm boy, baaaaaad move.
Also, Vader has found Leia.
