[Star Wars] How was Darth Vader rescued after the destruction of the first Death Star?
gpt
In canon, he sent off a distress beacon and was picked up by a Gozanti cruiser and returned to the *Devastator*.

In Legends, he went to the nearby planet of Vaal (as mentioned, his TIE has a hyperdrive, so he managed to limp along to Vaal), where he crash-landed then made his way to an Imperial outpost, and took a shuttle to Coruscant.
