Vader makes a brief appearance at the end of ''[[Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order|Jedi: Fallen Order]]'' (2019). He kills the Second Sister for her failure to secure a Jedi Holocron that could lead the Empire to a number of Force-sensitive children. He then attempts to personally take the Holocron from [[Cal Kestis]], who barely manages to escape. Vader returns as a boss in the sequel, ''[[Star Wars Jedi: Survivor|Jedi: Survivor]]'' (2023), where he leads an Imperial assault on a Jedi hideout on the planet [[Jedha]]. He duels Cere Junda, whom he manages to slay after a prolonged battle.
