The Empire era concludes — and a New Hope dawns!

When three Hutts place a wager on who can raise the most successful squad of henchmen to procure a highly valuable treasure, the game is on to recruit the most conniving rogues in the galaxy! General Dodonna, one of the Old Republic’s most brilliant strategists, must use all his skills to outmaneuver the Imperial fleet and oversee the creation of a rebel base on Yavin IV! Darth Vader is on the hunt for the stolen Death Star plans, but he doesn’t expect to cross paths with Princess Leia — or Darth Maul! And discover how Imperial pilot Biggs Darklighter became one of the Rebellion’s greatest X-wing flying aces! Plus: Fan-favorite characters Tag and Bink! The comic-book adaptations of both the iconic film A New Hope and George Lucas’ original, rough-draft screenplay starring Annikin Starkiller as the hero! And more!
