Star Wars: Tag & Bink V2 (2006)

Tag and Bink eventually find themselves trapped on the second Death Star dressed as the Emperor’s Royal Guards. After the confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the Rebels destroy the space station, killing Tag and Bink in the process. Tag and Bink return as Force ghosts.

In the April 2006 comic, Tag and Bink are shown as children, haplessly trying to become Jedi under Master Yoda‘s tutelage. They find Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala in a restaurant, as seen in Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and later secretly give tips to Anakin on how to romance Padmé. Anakin eventually leaves Tag and Bink stranded on Naboo when he goes to Tatooine. It takes them three years (the length of the Clone Wars) to get back to the Jedi Temple, just in time to see clone troopers destroy the Jedi Order. They are confronted by Anakin, newly rechristened Darth Vader; he spares them due to their past association but warns them to abandon their Jedi training.
