"No - I am your father." Following the events of The Empire Strikes Back, the heroes of the Rebellion face a difficult period. The Rebel fleet has been scattered after suffering a devastating defeat at the Battle of Hoth. Han Solo has been captured by the bounty hunter, Boba Fett, and frozen in carbonite. Luke Skywalker, after being lured into a trap on Cloud City and losing a lightsaber duel against Darth Vader, has learned the shocking truth about his parentage. Vader did not kill Luke's father Anakin—Vader is Luke's father!

Is victory still achievable after so many losses? Unbeknownst to Leia, Luke, and their group of freedom fighters, they have walked from one Imperial trap right into another! Introducing the clever and vengeful Imperial Commander Ellian Zahra, in command of the Tarkin's Will! Writer Charles Soule (DARTH VADER) and artist Jesus Saiz (DOCTOR STRANGE) will transport us to the galaxy far, far away in the coming year! Featuring covers by RB Silva (POWERS OF X)!
