Empire 34: In the Shadows of Their Fathers, Part 5, the thirty-fourth installment of the Star Wars: Empire comic book series, was released by Dark Horse Comics on August 10, 2005.
Once more, the occurrences unfolding on Jabiim are spiraling towards calamitous conclusions, all due to the presence of a Jedi bearing the Skywalker name.
Previously, during the Clone Wars, a young Anakin Skywalker found himself compelled to leave the Jabiimi Loyalist forces to the decidedly harsh treatment of the Separatists.
Currently, Luke Skywalker, whose presence on this otherwise unremarkable world has drawn the attention of Darth Vader himself, faces a critical decision: will he remain and engage in battle, potentially jeopardizing everything, or flee, leaving the Jabiimi freedom fighters to confront Vader's fury?
However, this choice might not be exclusively Luke's to make—and regardless of his ultimate decision, Vader may seize another advantage that could spell disaster for the Rebel fleet!
