Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the
Dark Empire II comic book series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
The Empire in retreat, Luke Skywalker has begun a quest to
rebuild the Jedi. Although dead, the Emperor's presence still
haunts him, and Luke still feels the taint of the dark side from
his time as the Emperor's thrall.
The dark shadow of Palpatine seems to creep across the galaxy
once again, and the Empire awaits his return. Enslaving a
weapons factory to design a device more deadly than the Death
Star, the Empire sets its plans in motion -- to destroy the New
Republic once and for all!
- Issue 2:
Every bounty hunter on Nar Shaddaa is looking to bag the head of
the infamous Han Solo, but Boba Fett is determined to take home
the trophy. And while they're busy tracking Solo, he's trying to
track down an old Jedi woman, perhaps the last hope of the New
Republic. Can Solo keep one step ahead of the galaxy's most
cutthroat gunmen and find the ancient Jedi?
- Issue 3:
Luke is racing to the far side of the galaxy to obtain a Jedi
Holocron rumored to be on the planet Ossus. The power and
knowledge that ancient device holds could give him just the edge
he needs to defeat the evil Empire! But the Emperor has heard
these rumors, too, and has sent a platoon of battle-hungry Dark
Siders to bring the Holocron back to him. Fire up the lightsaber,
Luke! It's gonna be a long night!
- Issue 4:
Luke Skywalker discovers an ancient, powerful Jedi relic among
the ruins of the planet Ossus. But can he get off the planet
with it, or even with his life? The Emperor's Darksiders are hot
on Luke's tail, and he must battle for his life before he can
battle for the galaxy!
Meanwhile, in another part of the galaxy, Lando Calrissian and a
team of Rebel commandos take the fight to the enemy camp. Hidden
within a shipment of War Droids spacebound for the Emperor's
throneworld, they're going to take down the Empire or go down
themselves!
- Issue 5:
Lando Calrissian's war droids have painted a target on the
Emperor's citadel, but an army of monstrous creatures are making
it their own mission to stop the New Republic fighters.
Meanwhile, on the world of Ganath, Han Solo has to equip his
damaged Millennium Falcon with antique weaponry. Will it be
enough to escape from Boba Fett?
- Issue 6:
Han Solo and Princess Leia have taken refuge with their
twins on the planet New Alderaan. But refuge, it seems, eludes
the family when Emperor Palpatine and an AT-AT battalion come
hunting for Rebel officers. Worry not, Leia! They don't want
your lives... they just want your children!
