The comic book series, Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, was adapted from the novel Heir to the Empire written by Timothy Zahn.

Storyline

The narrative unfolds five years following the events of Return of the Jedi. The Rebel Alliance achieved victory by destroying the Death Star, defeating both Darth Vader and the Emperor, and forcing the remaining Imperial Starfleet to retreat to a remote region of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are now married and expecting twins who will become Jedi. Simultaneously, Luke Skywalker is embarking on his journey as the first of a new generation of Jedi Knights.

However, at a great distance, the last of the Emperor's military leaders has assumed control of the scattered Imperial fleet, preparing it for renewed conflict, and directing it towards the vulnerable core of the New Republic. This formidable adversary has uncovered two crucial pieces of information that could potentially dismantle everything the brave members of the Rebel Alliance have strived to create. The resulting confrontation is an expansive and dramatic saga filled with action, innovation, intrigue, and a grand spectacle on a galactic scale.
