Charles Soule and Jesus Saiz continue the adventures of Luke, Leia, Lando and the rest of the Alliance in Star Wars #2 as they face their darkest hour in light of their loss back on Bespin and Luke’s new found knowledge of his parentage. Set in the immediate aftermath of The Empire Strikes Back, Soule has more than proven he can ‘do’ Star Wars in his run on Darth Vader and as for Saiz; he just goes from strength to strength as an artist. Here’s a preview of Wednesday 29th January’s new issue.
In the wake of the events following The Empire Strikes Back, it is a dark time for the heroes of the Rebellion. The Rebel fleet scattered following a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Hoth.
Han Solo lost to the bounty hunter, Boba Fett, after being frozen in carbonite. And after being lured into a trap on Cloud City and bested in a vicious lightsaber duel against the evil Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker learned the horrible truth about his past. Vader did not kill Luke’s father Anakin – Vader is Luke’s father!
Now, after narrowly escaping the dark lord’s clutches, and wounded and reeling from the revelation, Luke, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, the Wookiee Chewbacca and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 must fight their way back to the Rebel Alliance-for the fate of the entire galaxy is at stake! After so many losses is victory still possible?
But, what Leia, Luke and their ragtag band of freedom fighters do not realise is that they have only traded one Imperial trap for another! Enter the cunning and vengeful Imperial Commander Zahra, at the helm of the Tarkin’s Will!
