After Darth Vader's narrow escape from the destruction of the Death Star, the Dark Lord is consumed with a desire to find the Force-strong young pilot who fired the fatal shot.

learning the name of the pilot who destroyed the Death Star - Skywalker. While he begins hunting for Luke, a disgruntled Rebel pilot inadvertently gives away Luke’s location, leading to a showdown on a mining world under Imperial yoke. The story itself is fun and evocative of many of the lighthearted Star Wars works from the mid- to late-1990s. Gibbons’s art in particular stands out, with a distinctive visual style that matches the story’s tone rather than something photorealistic. A fun read that will entertain fans, but one that was quickly supplanted by other Expanded Universe content as the prequel films released. Show Less
