Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from Infinities:
A New Hope comic series:
- Issues 1, 2, 3 & 4:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...The
events and players are very familiar, but something
isn't quite right. Luke Skywalker valiantly attacks
the Death Star, fires his torpedoes and ... they
miss their mark! Taking off from the end of events
in the movie, readers will follow Luke, Han, Leia,
C-3P0, and R2-D2 on a journey every bit as
action-packed and fantastic as the original
trilogy.
Luke Skywalker has valiantly attacked the Death
Star, yet his torpedoes missed their mark! This one
act has incredible ramifications on the entire Star
Wars universe, as the Death Star maintains its
deadly power, Leia becomes Darth Vader's prisoner
again, and Luke narrowly escapes a barrage of TIE
fighters to explore the strange surface of Dagobah
with Han Solo and Chewbacca! The Rebellion's hopes
for freedom are crushed, and the Emperor takes the
planet Coruscant as his Imperial Throneworld.
In an altered Star Wars timeline, the Death Star is
never destroyed and the Rebellion is seemingly
crushed. The Empire's strong presence throughout the
galaxy leads to the formation of a new Senate,
filled with Imperial puppets. Han Solo and Chewbacca
watch in amazement as the newest Senator from the
planet Coruscant, the Imperial throneworld, is
announced - Leia Organa! Hope springs on Dagobah, as
Luke Skywalker nears the completion of his training
with Jedi Master Yoda. But can any amount of
training prepare him for the combined dark forces of
the Emperor, Darth Vader, and Leia, Vader's new
apprentice?
In this altered Star Wars timeline, Luke Skywalker
fails to destroy the Death Star, and the Rebellion
is seemingly crushed. Overcoming his raging
emotions, Luke escapes to become a Jedi Master after
finding Yoda and completing his training. Imperial
forces thrive throughout the galaxy, and Leia Organa
undergoes a dark transformation while Luke plunges
headlong into the heart of the Empire in a final
attempt to rekindle the Rebellion. Brother battles
sister, and a dying Jedi Master squares off against
an entire world.
