On sale April 6, FC, 32pg, $2.99

On the planet Jabiim, Luke Skywalker’s situation has gone from bad to worse. Having managed an escape from the rebel group who wants revenge for his father’s actions during the Clone Wars, and having fought his way clear of the Imperial stormtroopers who are after any Rebel on which they can lay their hands, Luke ends up the captive of third party players. A group of wealthy Jabiimi have made a deal with the Empire: in exchange for their own freedom, they’re going to give the rest of the planet’s population to the Empire as slaves!

Luke’s only hope lies with Leia and the droids—but they have problems of their own!

It’s all part of an action-packed story that looks at some of the events from the Clone Wars in a new light!
