Star Wars Galaxies-Path to the Force-Episode 172 (Featuring Luke Skywalker!)

Be sure to join us next week for the one-hundred and seventy-third episode of Star Wars Galaxies-Path to the Force. Then join us every week as we continue to follow the adventures of the Wookiee E'nac from the Star Wars Galaxies videogame in the form of Gamics!

The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for Palpatine -- power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord -- to seize control of the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome, totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader to enforce his sinister will, the threat of rebellion still looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear -- and the ability to punish dissent with devastating consequences -- can ensure his unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor's terrifying dream come true.

But from inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level. The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the Death Star and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy.

Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil -- all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown and a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

Star Wars: Death Star is by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry, with cover art by John Harris. It will be available in hardcover from Del Rey Books this Fall.

"The set includes 120 base cards spanning all six movies, TV movies and appearances, deleted scenes, fan films and some other little treats," Topps Editor David Waldeck reveals. "We've got some really nice autographs lined up too. All our inserts this time around will revolve around A New Hope. This includes the Artist Sketch and Autograph Cards, and Triptych Puzzle Cards which outline the themes of Episode IV and how they resonate through the rest of the saga. We're also doing some vintage-style magnets using artwork from the 1977 cards and Animation Cel cards. Both of those will be exclusive to retail stores."

"We're really digging through the archives to show images that have never been seen, which has been so much fun," Waldeck adds. "Everything about the cards just looks awesome, and there is such a classic '77 feel to them. The cards themselves look like they could be a part of Star Wars.

Collecting original art is easy to do for fans with the popular Topps cards from the new highly-anticipated Artist Sketch Cards. Original art sketch cards, seen in previously in the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Star Wars Heritage card sets, proved enormously appealing to passionate art enthusiasts and card collectors. The Artist Sketch Cards or Autographs can be found one per box in the 30th Anniversary Hobby packs.

"For this set, we've got a good number of tremendously talented artists who have yet to to do Star Wars Sketch Cards for us, and some who have yet to work on an official Star Wars project at all," Waldeck says. "I think fans will be extremely happy with our lineup this time out."

Look for Artist Sketch Cards from Cat Staggs, Matt Busch, Katie Cook, Allison Sohn, Len Bellinger, Dave Dorman, Adam Hughes, Mark Brooks, Juan Carlos Ramos, Grant Gould, Jessica Hickman, Phil Noto, Otis Frampton, Ingrid Hardy, Amy Provonost, Brandon McKinney, Cynthia Cummens, Davidé Fabbri, Joe Corroney, Justin Chung, Kevin Graham, Marc Wolfe, Mike Lily, Rafael Kayanan, Robert Teranishi, Russell Walks, Sarah Wilkinson and Sean Pence.

We hope to have more from Kevin in the near future!
