\"Star<\/p>\n

By John Ostrander<\/strong> & Jan Duursema<\/strong> (Dark Horse Books)
\nISBN 1-84576-461-7<\/p>\n

When the shattered Empire’s remnants retreated into uncharted space The New Republic became the administrators of the galaxy. Luke Skywalker re-established the Jedi Knights as a peace-keeping force throughout the now peaceful worlds. And then the extra-galactic invaders known as the Yuuzhan Vong attacked.<\/p>\n

Their devastating depredations were only finally countered by a desperate alliance of New Republicans and Imperial Remnants. The marauders were eventually defeated and interned on the planet Zonoma Sekot.<\/p>\n

Now a new Sith threat has destroyed the fragile alliance and set the galaxy ablaze again. The deadly Darth Krayt re-forged the age-old connection with the Empire and the hard-pressed Jedi are once again losing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Set about 125 years after the events of the film Return of the Jedi<\/strong>, this is the tale of Cade, a no-good petty thug and the last member of the Skywalker bloodline. As the Dark Side seems to on the verge of a final victory, is this grim, vicious, charismatic thug truly the last, best hope for peace and justice?<\/p>\n

John Ostrander and Jan Duursema are Star Wars veterans and extremely accomplished comic creators in their own right, and their darker, edgier, world-weary anti-hero has put a new and welcome sheen of danger and unpredictability on a franchise that has almost become too shiny and comforting. This is a series with great potential and a rip-roaring space-opera yarn. New readers start here\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
