Synopsis:
This book collects together the following issues from the
Dark Empire comic book series by Dark Horse Comics:
- Issue 1:
Six years after Return of the Jedi, the Rebel Alliance has
established a New Republic over three-fourths of the galaxy. The
surviving Imperial Forces are torn by civil war and harassed by
rebel attacks. One of these raids ends in disaster: Luke
Skywalker and Lando Calrissian are shot down over the former
Imperial City. When news reaches Han Solo and Leia Organa, they
rush to the rescue...(along with Wookie Chewbacca and droid
C3PO, of course!) But there's something else rushing toward the
Imperial City...something that wants Luke.
- Issue 2:
Danger stalks the Rebels in the form of the massive World
Devastators, dark side machines that destroy everything in their
path. Their current target is the planet Calimari, which will be
destroyed unless Lando Calrissian and the Rebel forces can reach
it in time. Meanwhile, Luke meets the face behind the Force
storm, a familiar face, while Leia feels Luke being torn away...
- Issue 3:
A war for the planet Calamari erupts over that planet's surface,
already threatened by the massive World Destroyers. While Lando
and Wedge take on the Imperial stormtroopers, Leia is tormented
by visions of Luke being sucked into the darkness. Meanwhile, it
seems that Han has run into some "old friends"!
- Issue 4:
Betrayed by their friends and pursued by everyone's favorite
bounty hunter, Han and Leia try to escape from Nar Shaddaa.
Meanwhile, the Rebels in combat over the planet Calamari receive
aid from an unexpected source, and Luke falls deeper into the
grip of the Dark Side!
- Issue 5:
Captured by the Emperor, Leia discovers that he holds
hostage an even greater treasure: a mysterious and intelligent
artifact called the Jedi Holocron. With both the Holocron and
Luke Skywalker under his control, there's no limit to what the
Emperor can do!
- Issue 6:
Left behind on Byss, Luke travels with the newly-powerful
Emperor Palpatine to capture his sister Leia. Meanwhile, the
Jedi Holocron delivers a thousand-year-old prophecy to Leia,
which tells of her battle against the young Emperor!
And as the Battle of Calimari rages over the waters of that
world and the Mon Calimari Rebels wonder when their savior Luke
will shut down the killing machines, a battle begins above them
that overshadows the outcome of their more conventional war...
The key to their survival all comes down to the data carried
inside one brave little robot.
