	Star Wars: Empire #30 Writer: Thomas Andrews Artist: Adriana Melo Cover Artist: Tomås Giorello Colorist: Michael Atiyeh Luke, Leia, and their companions have been taken prisoner on Jabiim by the very Rebels they've come to help. Worse, the only people from whom they could expect any help-X-wing pilots Wedge Antilles and Hobbie Klivian-are up to their necks in trouble themselves. To top it off, an Imperial fleet is headed for the planet with orders to kill or capture everybody! Luke thinks he can find a way out of their current predicament if he can just figure out what it was that his father-Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker-did twenty years ago that caused this whole mess! Pub. Date: April 27, 2005 Format: Full color, 32 pages Price: $2.99 Online Preview -----signature----- Take me out to the black. Tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea.

	Ah, neat, the continuation of the Jabiiim storyline. As always, curious to see how things'll end up. (with the heroes surviving, of course, but we'll have to see with Jabiiim) And good lord, those pilots really can't aim, can they? I mean, I've heard of the "Miss when it's a main character"-rule, but this is plain ridiculous. -----signature----- "The console to unlock the door is probably hidden in some room twelve floors up, or something.

	This issue was great. It built strongly on the first issue. The Battle of Jabiim was the best story arc from the Clone Wars comics and it's been made even richer by this. Nolan's assessment of Anakin is fair and I like how it started off with a flashback about what happened on Jabiim after Anakin left. -----signature----- New story! - What if the Empire: Missing Moments http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=10437137

	Yup, another good issue- looking good so far. And we have our first appearance of Venators in the classic era. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Luke thinks he can find a way out of their current predicament if he can just figure out what it was that his father-Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker-did twenty years ago that caused this whole mess! Why do they specifically need to say that part I bolded, as though most don't know what had happened? Like seeing Sywalker and Organa surnamed. That's how unfriendlies should address them. That browny haired man---he's Apollo's actor from the old Galactica TV! -----signature----- Rock-a-by baby, on the treetop, Beaming with pride, the filth they hold, But when the wind blows, my temper implodes, High above a pit, filled with sharkticons, Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©
