Undoubtedly the breakout character from Marvel's Star Wars line, Doctor Aphra was introduced in Darth Vader #3 and has gone on to serve as a pivotal character in several major story lines including Vader Down and Rebel Jail. Doctor Aphra, a female human and rogue archaeologist, was sought out by Darth Vader for her skills in acquiring lost weaponry.

Like many of the early issues in the Darth Vader title, issue #3 has gone back to print several times. To distinguish the different printings, and to sell more copies to collectors, Marvel used different colors on the covers.

With the Darth Vader title ending with issue #25, the fate of this character is unknown. If she survives the final issue, there is more than one fan who would like to see her continue to appear in future Star Wars comics.
