A mysterious stranger lands on the fourth moon of
Utapau. Kane Starkiller and his sons
Annikin and Deak confront him via lightsabers. Our heroes then take
off to the planet Aquilae to reunite with an old friend and fellow Jedi, General Luke
Skywalker. Meanwhile on Alderaan, the Emperor announces his plans to attack the
rebellious planet Aquilae to complete the Galactic Empire and bring peace to
the galaxy. Or so he says…
I’ve been waiting for this book to come out since it was
announced earlier this year. I was not disappointed. Some names and locations
may be familiar to fans, but this is a different STAR WARS. There’s some
action, but mainly a lot of world building in this issue, which is fine. The
action and adventure will be here soon enough. I must mention the beautiful art
by Mike Mayhew. Each page is incredible to look at. It's worth picking
up whether you’re a fan of the films (and curious to see where the story we know and love came from) or science fiction in general.
THE STAR WARS #1 is in stores now or available for
ordering at www.DarkHorse.com.
