Are TIE fighters actually capable of hyperspace travel? Obi Wan says they are not. So where does Darth Vader actually go? You see his TIE spinning out of control but what next?

Luke: Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No...no...no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know. When you are calm, at peace. Passive.
May the force be with us.

It's possible that he hooked up with a Star Destroyer that was somewhere in the area by sending out a distress signal.

His helmet probally made it possible for him to stay in space a bit longer. An imperial ship would have know about the death star being destroyed and probally found him while on their way to investigate.

I dont like the whole Death Star battle. There is about 10 fighters including TIEs. It seems to remote for such a huge battlestation

Or, more simply, he probably sent a distress signal himself from the TIE after the DS was destroyed. A star destroying was probably there within minutes.

Vader's TIE fighter was actually a TIE Advanced x1 Starfighter and was equipped with a hyperdrive.

After he drunk himself into a stupor and cried himself all out, he went back to work...

In the PC game Galactic Battlegrounds, he goes back to what he does best: Hunting Jedi down and killing Rebels...

His fighter jumps to hyperspace and limps it's way to a crash landing on a jungle planet, where Vader subsequently makes his way to an Imperial outpost on that planet and takes a shuttle from there back to Coruscant.

General Tagge, Colonel Veers, and some other smart Imperials on board the Death Star figured out what the Rebel fighters were trying to do and got off the station. They even tried to warn Tarkin "We analyzed their attack pattern and there is a danger, shall I have your shuttle ready?" The the over confident Tarkin replied "Evacuate in our moment of triumph, I fear your estimate their chances." After pleading to Tarkin with this, Chief Bass was probably like well you can stay here and die, I'm outta hear.

Some Imperials did abandon the Death Star and one would assume Darth Vader/Anakin linked up with them. Like said before, Vader was flying an Tie Advanced equiped with hyperspace, so he could of easily flown to any Imperial location, if not Courascant.

Vader's prototype TIE was hyperspace-capable.

His fighter jumps to hyperspace and limps it's way to a crash landing on a jungle planet, where Vader suvsequently makes his way to an Imperial outpost on that planet and takes a shuttle from there back to Coruscant.

If I remember right this is in a comic... and is absolutely hilarious whether you like EU are not. Generally its accepted that he had a TIE with a hyperdrive, since his was quite a bit different than the others about.

i cant remember where but i read that darth vaders tie fighter was equipped with hyperdrive capabilities thus allowing him to fly to a nearby imperial outpost. i actually think it came from a star wars factfile i bought as a kid

That's because Tarkin didn't order any fighters launched. None. Zero.

The only fighters that engage the rebels are Darth Vader and his personal squadron.

Tarkin overesimated his stations defenses.

Where does Vader go? He goes to where the Emperor is waiting for him.
