In Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars: Purge - The Tyrant's Fist, Darth Vader protects Obi-Wan's lightsaber from being destroyed along with the Death Star.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Darth Vader ’s final battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn’t just the first lightsaber duel in Star Wars , it was also the culmination of decades worth of storytelling . That’s what made the fact that Obi-Wan’s lightsaber - the one that he’d been fighting with all throughout the prequels and the Star Wars Clone Wars series - was destroyed along with the destruction of the Death Star so heart-breaking.

Close This comic takes place shortly after the events of Revenge of the Sith, meaning Darth Vader is still bursting with rage towards the Jedi Order, as he believes the Jedi were responsible for Padmé’s ultimate demise. However, as the years went on, Vader’s pursuit of Jedi - including and especially Obi-Wan Kenobi - slowed to a crawl.

It’s made clear in both Legends and canon continuity that Darth Vader is hunting Jedi across the cosmos not just because he hates every last one of them, but because he’s not so secretly hoping he’ll eventually find Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vader is obsessed with killing Obi-Wan in those early days of his Star Wars history, so when he does finally encounter him on the Death Star in A New Hope, Darth Vader finally got what he’d been yearning for all those years.
