Star Wars #15 (2nd print) and Star Wars: Darth Vader #16 (2nd print)
The Vader Down event sold very well for Marvel increasing the number of copies sold for the tie-in issues. In fact, the two Star Wars and three Darth Vader tie-in issues went back to print. Usually, after an event, subsequent issues see a decrease in sales. The issues immediately after the Vader Down story arc ended, Star Wars #15 and Darth Vader #16, went back to print as well. From the numbers published by Comichron, it appears retailers scaled back the number of issues ordered by too much and these issues were under-ordered.
Star Wars #15a - Marvel Comics, U.S. (January 2016)
Star Wars #15 has another tale of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. The standard cover shows Obi-Wan.
Star Wars #15e - Marvel Comics, U.S. (January 2016)
The 2nd print cover is a variant of the same art, except the background has now been replaced with a star field. Many of the 2nd prints from Marvel have used a star field background.
Star Wars: Darth Vader #16a - Marvel Comics, U.S. (February 2016)
Darth Vader #16 jumps back into the narrative by returning Vader to Shu-Torun to quell a rebellion. The cover is a nice piece showing Darth Vader's head. His polished armor is emitting a lot of shine.
Star Wars: Darth Vader #16b - Marvel Comics, U.S. (February 2016)
The 2nd print cover is the same artwork, except Darth Vader is lit by red light.
