The
Official
Star Wars Site has
provided a look at what Dark Horse Comics has in store for Star Wars
fans this fall. To
Biggs Darklighter, it seems like he's already lived a lifetime of
adventures since joining the Rebel Alliance. But now, reunited with
his boyhood friend Luke Skywalker, Biggs faces what will prove to be
the adventure of his life -- and his death -- the assault on the
Death Star.
Star Wars: Empire
#13, the final chapter of the four-part "Darklighter"
story series, is by Paul Chadwick, Doug Wheatley and Chris Chuckry,
and features cover art by Kilian Plunkett. It is scheduled for
release on September 3.
The planet Jabiim is
falling to the Separatists, and the final command rests on the
shoulder's of Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan is missing in action, and
all of Anakin's fellow Jedi are dead. The honorable thing to do
would be to fight to the last man-or clone-alongside the loyalist
Jabiimi. The smart thing would be to live to fight another day, save
as many of his remaining troops as possible and retreat.
Will Anakin listen to
his heart or his head? Should he die a hero, or survive to become a
general? And which decision is the right one? Is there a
"right" choice?
The final chapter of
the four-part Battle of Jabiim storyline appears in Star Wars:
Republic #58, by Haden Blackman and Brian Ching, featuring cover
art by Tomás Giorello. It is scheduled for release on September 17.
