Star Wars: Dark Times Volume 1—The Path to Nowhere represents the initial trade paperback compilation within the Star Wars: Dark Times comic book series.
The Clone Wars saw Jedi Dass Jennir and his comrade Bomo Greenbark survive, yet the whereabouts of Bomo's family remain unknown. The two companions are resolved to locate them, but their journey exposes them to peril and shadows—where the potential for loss outweighs any hope of success.
Concurrently, Darth Vader is compelled to confront certain unsettling truths—and recollections—from his past. Despite his status as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he too is subordinate to the Emperor's authority.
Darth Vader bides his time on Coruscant, awaiting his Master's disclosure of the Empire's grand design. But does a plan beyond simply acquiring power exist?
On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir commands a Nosaurian force engaged in a war already conceded. Is this the new definition of being a Jedi?
Following the Clone Wars and the Jedi Order's annihilation, the dark times have commenced. The outlook is bleak, wickedness is escalating, and every road seems to lead to a dead end...
The Path to Nowhere integrates supplementary dialogue originating from Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, a novel penned by James Luceno. On Orvax IV, an Aurebesh inscription displays SLAVES. Another displays HOTDOG HARRY'S HAPPY.
