Star Wars: Empire

by Welles Hartley

Published 26 November 2004
The third in a new line of Star Wars graphic novels written and drawn by some of the greatest names in comics and set during the early days of the Rebellion -- when the Empire still held the galaxy in its grip of iron. Before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, as the Death Star is readied for its first mission, these tales trace the fortunes of the various factions and their heroes and champions. Includes a Stormtrooper's ruminations on loyalty, Darth Vader having to deal with a crash landing, and the short but happy life of Roons Sewell. These epic new stories provide essential background to the original Star Wars trilogy! This graphic novel includes a cover gallery and additional bonus material.

Inspired by the smash-hit Cartoon Network animated series, the second volume in this fantastic new pocket-sized series makes the Star Wars Galaxy a whole lot bigger, faster and boiling with action! Bridging the gap between Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and the forthcoming Episode III, these epic tales find Star Wars legends Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Mace Windu battling to stem the advance of the Separatist battledroids as they swarm from planet to planet. And for Anakin Skywalker, the dark side beckons...Featuring the gorgeous art style of genius cartoon creator Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack), this is a jump to light speed for Star Wars lovers of all ages!
